I love socks. I love handknit socks. I espeicially love them when someone makes them for me!

These are my socks from my fabulous Sockapalooza pal! They came quickly – all the way from Germany! I love these socks so much – the colour, the style (shorter cuffs) and the cute little picot edging.

She even put my initials on them. It’s really hard to photograph though, but there is a “S” there.

(although my online name (BabblingStacey) makes very amusing initials – yes I do babble a lot of BS. Heh)
She sent such lovely package – beautifully wrapped and some wonderful postcards from Germany – which is my nationality. My last name is a very German last name, so she may have guessed.

Thanks so much Alexandra! I wish I could read German to read your webpage (though I did put it through babelfish to read a bit). I love the socks so much!
I had actually just got home from sending my sockpal socks off – she’ll probably get them tomorrow actually as she is in the same state as me…I do hope she likes them.
I might have also stopped at Lint for their 50% clearence…and I may have bought some yarn….um, some Blue Sky Cotton for a sweater for my niece’s 1 year birthday and some yarn for some gift scarves…and some cute Crystal Palace Daisy circular needles…um how do I sneak this past CoffeeBoy?

Lucky you! I think I might have to bite the buttlet and get in on a swap. The initial is a nice touch. Hehe B.S. Why does a Weasly sweater keep popping into my head?

I’m happy you like them. I would have loved to keep them myself, I just love that yarn! And BS never is so clear, because you have the letters devided by your feet. ;-D
