WOOT!

I got my socks! I got my socks! I’m so excited, I’m wearing them right now! They are amazing, I’ve never had socks knit for me before, I love them! This is my first sock exchange, and it totally went great.

I had this post all thought out for today, I was going to show you all what the basement of a yarn shoppe looks like, and I had photos of the shoppe that I work at, and knitting progress photos…. but screw it, I got my socks!!!!!!

My Secret Elf Knitter is Lori of “Creative Brainwave”. A bog I haven’t visited before, but will now on a daily basis. Mad props to Lori for having the stamina to knit two whole socks in one solid color, with a great cablely pattern, even. I don’t know about other sock knitters, but if I’m going to knit socks with toothpicks, I need to be entertained, that’s the secret of the self stripeing yarn obsession thing. So now you know. I totally have respect for Lori as a knitter, these things are superb.

You want Photos??! Okay….
First, the package was inspected by my package inspector,
Charles “Chuck” “the Face” Bean,

Then the contents get inspected by my Cat-Dog, Guy (yes, we named our cat “Guy”)

Lori sent Socks, of course, a lovely card, and some Lindt White Chocolate, Yum!

They fit perfectly, and I LOVE the color!

A closeup of the pattern,

Lori knit these in Fortissima Socka, Colour #1005
The Pattern is “Uptown Boot Socks, Interweave Knits, Winter 2003.
I love them, did I mention that? Thanks Lori!

And, a photo of the sockeater, looking very guilty, or sleepy, or cute. Whatever.
