Reggie also included lots of other goodies! After I called Rowan and told her all about the socks (I love sisters, but sometimes I wonder if she just tunes out now that I talk about knitting...she said Sockapalooza Pal? What's that? Seriously!! Doesn't she remember me being a bit sad sending off my socks?!), I opened up the box to discover the cutest notepads (that's David from No David! One of my favorite kid books- its a staple at work for social groups!), a shawl pin, nylon for reinforcing dad's socks, a postcard from her town that's already on the fridge, and...that's right...I see you drooling over it...her own HANDSPUN ANGORA!!! How cool is my pal!!
Here's a close up of her handspun. It is soooooooo soft!! Thank you thank you Reggie!!
To be honest, as excited as I was to be part of the 1000 paloozers, I am still new to the sock knitting love and was a bit sad to send away my socks to my pal (thank goodness she loves them!). It made me wonder if I would do it again next year (is that selfish??). But I take it all back now! Having someone knit socks for me is so worth it!!!! Okay, enough exclamation points...you all get it. I'm a happy girl.
Oops. I almost forgot. Thank you all for your wonderful comments on my Embossed Leaves socks and my cute new shoes. Maybe another reason why I love my sockapalooza socks is that they match the other pair of Mary Janes I got (sale!).
And its still a bit chilly here in Northern California, so I still haven't taken my socks off!
Happy Sockapalooza!! xoxoxo Irishgirlieknits

Those are gorgeous!! They look perfect with your "other" MJanes too! Lovely handspun and other goodies too!
You are killing me with the shoes!
I must get some.
Are they the Calista ones?
I love the socks and the colour, they look lovely on your feet? Are you going to keep your angora in the freezer?
You got a great Sockapalooza pal! Love your Waving Lace socks.
Wonderful socks - just as beautiful as those I got ;-))
