First of all, thanks so much for all the lovely comments on the last post. I definitely won't be modelling any more non-maternity designs for the next few months, but you all made me feel very happy about the photo shoot for Marla. The pattern for that one should be up tomorrow or the next day.
Now to the substance of this post:
I don't know about you, but the deadline for this round of Sockapalooza crept up on me. I knew the deadline was August but hadn't quite appreciated that it was the second of August. Which is effectively the end of July.
Luckily, both socks had been finished for a while and just needed the ends sewn in, a quick block, and a card to accompany them.
Truly, if my sock pal finds anything not to love about these socks I will despair. Cookie's Twisted Flower pattern is so beautiful, and my own Regia silk socks are bearing up quite well to wear and laundering. They're more lovely on but I found the contortions required to take a snap were beyond me, so I hope my sock pal will show a picture of them being modelled.
I can't wait to receive the pair from my own sockpal, who has been quite a tease with false email addresses and clues to the yarn she's using - my appetite is definitely whet. And for the third time, immense thanks to Alison for managing this behemoth.
So that's one item struck through on the 'to do' list. Next? Finish six projects plus intros for next book deadline in two weeks. If you're looking for me, that's where I'll be.

Your socks are beautiful! Your pal will for sure love them!
And I'm looking forward for the pattern of Marla. I will soon have finished Blustery, and planning forward for the next project is about to start.

Those are lovely! The ones I made for you are a good bit simpler.....but still lovely. They were in my workbasket and my sister nearly stole them for her own!
Yours will be winging their way to you in the next few days.

I know you are still waiting....patiently I hope! The socks have been finished for months; just now I am finishing a couple of small things to go in your pack.....they will go out to you THIS WEEK! So sorry I am late, I had some (hopefully) good ideas at the last minute.
Look for it coming through your post late next week.
