My Sockapalooza 4 socks arrived in the mail yesterday. The socks were impeccably knit and blocked, soft and clean and smelling sweet as a bunny after a bubble bath...For a few seconds there after opening the box I completely forgot how to knit and couldn't believe someone could make something so exquisite with their own two hands.

Knit by: Sara, formerly of knitwerk.com
Pattern: Loksins! I had never seen this pattern before.
Yarn: Sundara Sock Yarn. The red is actually more wine than true red. It's beautiful.
Bonus materials: French soap, cat treats, stationery and semi-solid Koigu! SCORE!

Now I know why my sister-in-law always gives me funny looks when I tell her knitting is really not that hard. It certainly looks hard, doesn't it?

A perfect fit. Swoon.

Dude, I totally know Sara! Not *know* *know*, but we've had internet-based relations. And Sundara knows her, too, more than just selling yarn to her!

Those are gorgeous socks! And I have two skeins of that same koigu waiting for the perfect sock pattern in blue. You are a lucky woman!

What a great pal. Those socks are gorgeous. I have the pattern and the yarn for some Loskins but I haven't gotten around to it yet. After seeing yours I will very soon!

Those are beautiful--I love the color. And tht Koigu looks very familiar. I think the Embossed Leaves I am knitting at the moment is the same color. It's very nice, you'll love it.

(blush) You're very nice. I'm so, so glad you like them - and they fit! I was delighted to have you as a pal - I've been a reader for a long time, and we share the same taste in socks. Thank you for photographing them so beautifully, too.

Oh, I am soooo jealous. Those are gorgeous! I wonder if I show them to the Hubbster, if he'll let me break the yarn diet so I can have the perfect yarn for them? They are gorgeous in red. Lucky you!

Yay! I'm glad you got them and like them, as Sara told me she was knitting for you so I got to be in on the secret. Sara is so fabulous! She and her husband are my web designers for my yet to be revealed new site. I've actually met her and seen her knitting in person. So beautiful! And she has the cutest kitties. SO CUTE and SO FLUFFY!

These are the prettiest socks I've seen in a long time -- in fact, "pretty" sounds to trite to describe the luscious texture and gorgeous color. They're just perfect!
