Thundersocks
Gentle reader, if I owe you correspondence (and the chances are good that I do), please bear with me just a little while longer. I could not let my tardiness with email delay the uncoverment of my Sockpaltwoza socks. Debra, sadly blogless, captured all that is au courant in hosiery at Raitte Hall this autumn: lace, Koigu. The blow suffered from parting with my own lace Koigu socks, which even now are winging their way across the Atlantic, has been quite cushioned.
They have a delicate picot edge, and are the of colours rainclouds gathering on evening blue skies.
My feet are really very happy. Thank you Debra! And thank you Alison!
I almost forgot to add – Debra included in her parcel to me some adorable stitchmarkers, and two postcards one of which features some very charming cows. And an IOWA sticker (now on the fridge). I forgot to take pictures of them... now I'm using the markers and the postcards are being bookmarks, I fear it’s a little late.

Wow- those colors are to dye for. HA!
No really, I love those socks!! They're monochromatic/analogous enough so that the lace doesn't get lost. Very nice!

Oh, how pretty - love that the colors don't overwhelm the lace. Perfect!

Lovely--convinces me that Koigu can successfully be used for lace. And it goes to show--if you put Koigu out into this world, you will get Koigu back!

Gorgeous socks. Do you know which pattern she used?

What beautiful socks! And Iowa paraphernalia!(I'm not being facetious here, I'm an Iowa native and have an Iowa magnet on my fridge and an Iowa mug in my cupboard). What a great sock pal you had -- your new socks are truly lovely.
