A quick trip to the post office this morning netted me this lovely sockapaloooza package from pixeldiva (who has a fabulous blog), all the way from London! She also included hand dyed alpaca/silk yarn and a photo of St Pancras Chambers Clock around the corner from her office, very cool! The socks fit like a glove, and they're knit with Lorna's Laces...one of my favorite sock yarns. I love the way the colors spiral around the leg. These socks were SO worth the wait. Thanks pixeldiva!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am a 30-something dental hygienist living in MN with my Weimaraner Casey, and missing my Boxer Flea. My husband Kyle is my best friend. I drive a 10 year old truck and a 9 year old motorcycle. My brother is currently serving in the US Air Force stationed in New Mexico. I love Rice Krispie bars, all things Tangerine/Mandarin Orange and Pistachio, Peanut M&M's, caramel, Jelly Bellys, comfortable shoes, cowboy/rodeo fabric, warm blankets, handmade quilts, soft pillows, really good chocolate and lazy days. I dislike litterbugs, dry hands, burned popcorn, slow drivers, below zero days and poor service & dirty silverware at restaurants. I'm currently enjoying my new Android phone, working on my UFO's and reading Recalculating on my nook.
I'm looking forward to Christmas!

YAY! So glad you finally got your socks.
definitely worth the wait! Swap saviours ROCK!
I saw them in the making and immediately loved the yarn (Ann has impeccable taste), great gift! x
Lucky!! Do they make you walk on the left side of the road?
I'm glad you finally got your Sockapaloooza socks! They look so nice and comfy. The extra yarn she sent looks great too - what a nice surprise!
Here it is, mid-July and hot, and your socks are making me want to go put on a pair of wool socks NOW.
They are so lovely! I'm glad it all worked out in the end.
The socks look great!
