I must have been affected by the season, but I was having such misgivings about the Sockapaloooza socks I was attempting. Neither pattern that I had started was working out size-wise. I realize that I could have produced a more intricate and fitting sock, but not with that yarn. But I was delighted with the Slinky Socks pattern and just happened to have some wide striping Trekking in just the right springy colors. Will this do for my sock pal? I think they are cute and fun and I am hoping my sock pal will like them too. Without giving too much away, my sock pal is really good at knitting socks. Beautiful complicated socks. I am now wondering if these will be good enough for her. Argh, the angst! I didn't have this much difficulty with the last Sock exchange. I am running out of time. I must commit to one design and yarn. Would you be insulted to receive these socks?
Happy Easter Egg!
I think they look lovely. I wouldn't be insulted. The photo you took is so nice too.

That socks looks like too much fun! I have the perfect yarn! WHAT? You're not surprised!? And if the socks were for me there would be no insult...only happy laughter at being so lucky.

It is possible that I might be insulted. Of course I would need to inspect them personally upon completion. Please forward them to me as soon as you are finished. I will evaluate them and give you a written response. (Please remember that socks submitted for evaluation cannot be returned.) (Also, I like a short cuff and I wear a size 9 shoe.)
Happy Easter!!

They're so cute! If she's insulted, I can take them off your hands - and I'm right down the roadd in San Antonio!

No one would be insulted. Those are lovely socks. The yarn compliments the pattern perfectly.

I think those are fabulous! I was wondering about that pattern and know that I see yours, I am wondering what from my stash would be best suited!!! Knit on! Very cool.

I think they are quite adorable! Definitely, go for it!
Hmmm... now what do I have in my stash that would work with that pattern? ;)
