Socks all around!

HogwartssocksThe week of socks! Socks in the mail, socks on my needles, socks everywhere. And yep, I will take socks with green eggs and ham too.

First, we have my Hogwarts socks...they are beautiful. My pal made them stripey just for me and she gave me the coolest little stitch markers. Owls

They are little owls, 2 brown, 2 white ones--they remind me of Hedgewig...ooh, she is remembered here all the time as a good owl. Thank you Hoggy Pal!

Here is a close up of my little owls.  Aren't they just beautiful!?!

SockapaloozasocksNext up in my line-up of socks are my Sockapalooza Socks...they are made out of STR...prettty! My pal used a really neat lace pattern that goes down each side of the sock and at the top cuff, it has beautiful lace. Beautiful socks for me :).  Thank you Pal :)

Lastly, are the socks for my Hogwarts Sock pal. I knitted these in record time. I was running a bit behind and I knew that she was probably waiting for them eagerly...I did tell her the owl was a little late, just like old Errol.

A pair of Mini-Monkeys for my pal in some nice ShiBuiKnits yarnMonkey . Along with the package, a set of stitch markers. I went to my local (and lovely) bead store and I picked up some beads and they helped me make these 4 cute stitch markers. The Mini-Monkeys and stitch markers are on their way to their new home.

Lastly, I leave you with a photo I took with my new toy....it is one of my favorites so far. What do you think of it?

I must learn to knit socks and get in on all the fun :)
Your Hogwarts Sock pal is so lucky. Those socks are beautiful!
nice picture ;)

Lucky girl! Love the socks--all of them!

You did a wonderful job on the Mini-Monkey Socks!

Watch out! Those beaded stitch markers are addictive. I have participated in several stitch marker exchanges, and can't seem to get enough of them. I love making them as much as I love receiving them. : )

Love the mini monkeys! You got some really good socks too!

Glad that you like your socks and owls! :)

I love your new toy -- it takes great photos!

*sigh* I left the comment above on the wrong entry. :-)

I love each of the socks -- your Sockpal SCORED and you scored on the Hogwarts and Sockapalooza socks too! I love the STR colorway.

Nice camera! Isn't it nice to have a camera that does things? (The hardest part for me is figuring out how to set it up to do what I want!)

Glad you liked the socks I made!
