Languidly Knitting

Every Wednesday I work a double. That means my feet support my weight for 9 hours with but a slight rest in the interim between our lunch and dinner hours. By the time I get home, I can think of nothing else but sitting down to rest my aching soles.

I was not expecting a box. There it was, an innocuous little cube, sitting outside my bedroom door. What could it be? Had I bought something recently? Why aren’t the scissors next to it, so I can finally sit down?

Luckily, my Sock Pal had helpfully labeled the package with “Sockapalooza.” Then I knew what to expect. But when I opened the package all expectations were blown away.

Twisted Flower Socks, by Cookie A.

Of course, I put them on my sore little tootsies right away.

I’m happy to announce that my Sock Pal is Beth, from Michigan. Along with the socks, she included a bunch of little goodies that made me smile.

A couple more pictures:

They’re made out of Fleece Artist Sea Wool, in “Moss.”

Proof that she picked the perfect yarn: a skein of Sea Wool I’d bought for myself.

Thank you, Beth! I can hardly believe that you were able to bring yourself to mail these away, but I will definitely give these a good home.
