So, my sockapaloooza socks arrived.
I'd forgotten that I'd put my work address in when I was signing up for the swap, because at that time I didn't know where I was going to be living.
I've also moved desk recently, and emptied my trays, which were never used as in-trays previously, so I didn't notice the papers in the top tray, and didn't notice the airmail packet underneath. Well I did, obviously, but not for a good while.
When I did though, there was much excitement, and showing off of said socks. There was also a lot of admiring and stroking of the socks as they lay on my desk all day.
I was desperate to try them on, but also conscious that my feet were all stinky from being inside (store bought) socks and trainers all day.
So when I got home, I carefully washed my feet and shaved my legs until they were perfectly smooth.
Then came the moment of truth. Would they fit? Would they feel fabulous? Would they be everything I hoped?
Oh yes. Yes. Yes!
These socks are absolutely perfect. The fit is perfect. The yarn is perfect. The colourway is perfect. The pattern is fabulous. I can only hope that my sock pal likes the socks I'm making for her even half as much. That would make me happy.
Huge thanks go out to Lea, who knitted these for me, and got them absolutely spot on.
For those who haven't had enough of pictures of my feet yet, have a few more:
Nice toes!
