mouse_rantswoke up today feeling tired and achy and just generally yuck, so i called in sick, and caught up on the computer and knitted:
this is where i was when i took a break and checked the mailbox, which was full of packages:
1) a pair of clear plastic clogs i had ordered from Knitter's Dream
2) Queen Kahuna's Crazy Toes & Heels book (two-at-a-time socks, toe up or cuff down)
3) my death-socks.
no note - but a lovely little package:
the square thing is a fun little tape measure, and the green print thing in the bottom left corner is a lavender sachet. and of course, the socks themselves:
they fit perfectly:
i'm really happy with them. i was worried a bit, after some of the stories and complaints on the sock wars forum - but i just love the yarn, they fit beautifully, and the work is lovely - if all has gone properly, they have been through 4 knitters' hands, but i can't see any differences in the work. since the sender is dead, i will be packing up the socks i just got from australia and sending them to:.....tasmania. don't know if customs pays much attention to these things, but if they do, they will wonder why this particular sock is doing so much traveling.
i think i will knit on it a bit more tonight, though - it would be nice to finish one sock, because with the amount of travel time it is logging, it will take forever for the pair to be finished.
