Especially since September is coming in like a lion. A pissy, whiny, angry lion.

They're Cherry Tree Hill (my first!) and made by Miss Stricken Madchen (I think I parsed that correctly.) I've had them for a week an a half, but various events in my house have kept me from my camera. They are absolutely lovely, and I feel utterly spoiled.

Thank you, generous wonderful sockpal! And your gifties rocked!

I got a really delicious package from my sock pal yesterday. My socks are apparently still under construction, so she sent some goodies to keep me happy. They're certainly doing the trick!

a sheep tape measure, hand lotion, a sheepy case, and YARN! sock yarn, of course!

Blake may be the happiest guy in the place; he can't stop playing with the tape measure. Thanks, Sock Pal!

My sock pal got her socks yesterday. Thank heaven she forgave me for not using cotton, as was her clear preference. Now it can be revealed that my pal is Allison, who was part of NaKniSewMo, my finish-a-thon last February. Fun!

Farewell, little socks. Have a good life. I'll miss you.

A delicious lacy confection in mouth-wateringly juicy shades of orange. I wish I didn't have to send these socks away. The yarn is the Koigu I bought during the fall TTC Knitalong, and though I wanted to keep it, no other sock plans worked out for this round of the 'palooza. Thus I gave in, grabbed the yummy orange and the trusty pattern (I hear the designer thinks just like me) and got to work. My housewarming party derailed my progress the week before the deadline, and so these socks are more than a week late going out. I hope the recipient thinks that they're worth it.

this is why I didn't take the pictures when I submitted the pattern.
