All the socks around her look fantastic!!!1111 :cheering: :cheering: :cheering: :cheering:

I haven’t been contacted by my swap partner, but that is okay…and I’m also ok with getting my socks late, I don’t want the pressure to make my partner cry!

My swap socks and I just started speaking again. We got in a bad fight last Saturday and I didn’t knit for a whole week :shock: I finally picked them back up again yesterday morning & I happy to say that we are doing well together now! :teehee:

Oh no… thats terrible…

Sometimes you just have to sit them in the corner and let them think about how they are behaveing… a little timeout never hurt… :teehee:

I’m glad you made up and are doing well again… its hard when your not on speaking terms with your knitting…

Good Luck…

I totally agree. When I get frustrated with projects, I just set them down for a few days and walk away. I really don’t want to start getting so frustrated with a project that I would start to not like knitting.

But then I also suffer from carpal tunnel, so I often have to set down projects even when I don’t want to.

Hey guys…are socks supposed to be blocked? :shrug:

Also, for those of you making anklette socks, are you threading a couple threads of elastic through the cuff?

Thanks in advance!

@Angelia

The card is a nice gesture! Even an e-card, which would help you maintain anonymity, would work well. (Plus those are really fun sometimes!)

an e-card, that’s a great idea!

[Shandeh]

Here are my partner’s socks so far. I’m working on the hard part now - the gussets. :help:

[feminine_earth]

Wow Shandeh! Those are BEAUTIFUL!!

[Shandeh]

Thank you!

I must be a freak…I love the gussets!! :woot:

As for blocking socks, I wouldn’t worry about it. I’ve never blocked any of mine and they look perfectly fine. :shrug:

Wow, everyone’s socks look fantastic and I can’t believe people are already receiving socks!!!
I thought we were all supposed to have them sent to receive by V-day?
Did I miss some other deadline?? :oops:

No allergra, some people are just sending theirs early. I’m not done yet, and won’t be sending mine til just before Valentine’s day.

[Shandeh]

Me too! I’ll be lucky if I finish mine in time. :teehee:

All is well, Allegra!

[allegra918]

Dilly and Friskums, GORGEOUS SOCKS!!!

Friskums, I’m gonna email you the next time I’ll be heading up your way! If you do get that knitting group up and running in Altamonte, let me know as I’d love to visit sometime.

Awesome! (I created a blogger page for it here. So, if you wanted to watch that, I’ll be kept up to date with the status of the knit night.)

socksforfriskums -> That’s such an adorable kitty!
I’m being taunted! :happydance: :happydance:

Angelia -> I’m normally not a ruffly kind of girl myself, but it just felt right when I was making them. I’d wear them…if they weren’t too big for me. :teehee:

Everyone else -> Thanks for the compliments.

@~babydill~

Thank you very much, KellyK, for knitting me such beautiful socks, and for the MMmmmalabrigo cable hat that you knit for me too! You are awesome! :notworthy: :notworthy:

What? Those socks Kelly knit aren’t for me? huh. Wait, what? huh? Nooooooooooooooo! :waah: but, but, but everyone’s socks are for me!

:teehee:

Really, everyone’s socks look so fabulous. Babydill, those socks are mine, right?

Actually, I was really excited because I got a message from my sock pal today! It says that s/he reads my blog and brings my socks to work with them and everyone in his/her workroom knows the socks are for me!! I feel so

Oh, and Dear Partner, unlike the ArtYarns ultramerino, the Fleece Artist is behaving itself and knitting up in some nice baby cables. :cheering:

When I first saw them, I kept thinking… "but, I thought Dilly didn’t want pink in her socks. :?? "

But then I figured I was just remembering it wrong. :shrug:

I kinda liked them though. :teehee:

Nope… you remembered it right. I think we had the conversation in Angelia’s blog when the idea for the swap first came up.
