Sockintine Sock Swap!

ooo. it could be me!

i almost never post. but i lurk, oh i lurk.
and i don’t have blog!

mmm. those gorgeous blue socks would look so pretty on my feet!

Oh no… I think I might post too much… :shock: :pout: But I don’t post a lot and I don’t have a blog… Maybe :shrug: Maybe…Oh I don’t know… :verysad:

:teehee:

Everything looks great!!! KK I MUST buy that colorway next time I visit you at Chix (tonight???)

Clue:
My swap pal has posted here a few times.
She may have a blog.
And through some research (gotta love KH for that), she has knit with Malabrigo before.
I can’t think of anything else with out completely giving it away.

My partner wanted something soft in a shade of pink or red.

I am saying no more…

but looookie loooookie what I am putting in the mail tomorrow!!! They aren’t ‘perfect’… but I gave them all my love and learned so much with them. They fit well (though a bit big on me) and they are very soft. :slight_smile:

Not bad for my first pair of socks if I do say so myself!!! :mrgreen:

Cara, they’re gorgeous! :heart:

Wow, those are good for first socks, Cara! And they do look soft.

Lovely Cara!! :cheering: :cheering:

Cara, great job!! :cheering:

KK, lovely socks and adorable hat you made for Dilly!

As for me, I got about halfway down the foot of sock #1 before I realized a mistake I made near the beginning of the instep. Bleh. Gah. and Drat. :!!!:

http://mitchiecanknit.blogspot.com My Socks are done and there is the link to my blog so you cna see them. I hope you like them sock swap pal. They are going in the mail tomorrow. I have them all boxed up and ready to go.

Oh… more pretty socks…

Cara and Mitchie those socks are really pretty… Nice job! :cheering: :happydance: :cheering:

Cara… REALLY great job!!! :cheering: :cheering: :cheering:

Im a little worried, Mitchie… I have to knit a store sample sock in Cascade Fixation… an elastic/cotton blend. Your comment skeers me! But the socks are PREEEETY!

Thanks for all the great comments everyone! I felt so motivated by you all that I have started a pair of socks for me out of Confetti Superwash on US sz 1 bamboo needles…

my gawd they feel like toothpicks. My husband told me I should have just gotten the wooden skewers out of the kitchen… love him. love him.

come talk to me KK and I’ll tell my experiences too! I’m using … nope not going to make it public yet!!!

Dear Swap Partner,

The good news is: I’m not dead, I have not yet coughed up my lungs (though we were worried for a minute there) my head has not exploded, and I have not harmed any member of my family during this extended time of plague-like illness that has swept through the land and rendered me useless to do anything but a. stare at the computer; b. lie in bed, moaning; or c. cough a lot.

The bad news: I have missed my self-imposed deadline of February first :shock: and I am currently working on Sock #1. Still. While you will receive a package by Valentine’s Day, I can no longer guarantee that it will have completed socks in it. :pout: I will guarantee, however, that when the finished socks arrive they will be freshly laundered and germ-free. And really pretty.

Love,

Your Swap Partner

the package has been sent from me in the north to my partner in the south. You should have it in 5-7 days!

yay!

Julie…

I’m glad your feeling better and if I’m your partner… don’t worry I’ll wait patiently…
for my beautiful socks… :happydance: :nails: :tap: :whistle:

Just kidding… Feel better and don’t worry about the time frame.

of course it would help if we knew who your pal was :teehee: hmmm, south of NB :thinking: yeah, that narrows it down.

Dear Swap Pal,

I would like to send along proof that I am knitting away like mad on your socks. The only problem is that I have been a bit distracted, and not by anything important. We shall blame my husband for bringing the WoW into the house. :shifty:

But I’m on the gusset decreases of the second sock, and the sock from here on out I think will go quickly.

I’ll finish soon, I pwomise :flirt:

Oh Fiber girl…those are gorgeous socks.

my favorite color is purple… hmmmm…

you know my address…send them off to me quickly please!!!

:muah:
