Spectacular Socks
Are these not beautiful? These gorgeous socks come from Stephanie in Belgium as a result of a sock swap I took part in. I'm in love! I don't know how she knew that I was dying to get my hands on some of this yarn (I've seen other color variants around the knitting blog ring, but no one seemed to remember where they got it from), but she certainly picked the perfect colorway. (In real life they don't come across as quite so green...they have a more rich autumnal color quality). They fit incredibly well and are nice against the skin. In fact, I haven't taken them off since the photo shoot. It was just a little bit of luck that they would show up on one of the coldest days we've had so far this winter.
She also packed a few extra goodies into the package for me. A lovely black/brown marl sock yarn which will make a very sophisticated pair of socks and a very cool magazine with all sorts of great holiday craft ideas. I'm definitely going to have to dust off my French-English dictionary for this one.
Thank you, Stephanie for the wonderful socks and for making my day a little brighter!
Lovely socks! I think those are made from Fortissima Colori Socka, color #2419 (kolibri). Kolibri means hummingbird in German, which is a great name for that colorway. =)
I LOVE those socks. They should be on my feet right now!
Sweet. You lucky devil.
Whoa, those are some amazing socks! I love the colors . . . at first glance I thought, "Wait, Noro doesn't make sock yarn, do they?!". I think I'm going to have to search for some of that beautiful yarn.
I love your new socks! And Margot is looking lovely, as well.
Kristi - Thanks for sharing the information about the yarn. Now all I have to do is find someone in the US that carries it. "Hummingbird" is definitely a perfect description for the colors in the yarn.
"Spectacular" is really the perfect word...those are fabulous socks! Stephanie is the new Queen of Socknitters as far as I'm concerned :-)
I love seeing all these socks popping up from the sock exchange. They're all so beautiful, and I LOVE the foot poses! So cute.
I can't wait to see what you do with Margot's edging and the use of a clasp. Don't forget to post pics!
Awesome socks!
Incredible socks! Thanks to Kristi for posting the info. I've googled, I shall find myself some! :)
