...would smell as SWEET. Not that I expect you to smell my Bloomin' Feet socks. Though they are worthy of smelling. And petting, fondling, and just loving all over! Because they are truly the most beautiful socks I have ever owned! Karen outdid herself here folks. She absolutely nailed the landing! The fiber: Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock, the color: Bold Red, the fit: perfect!
Amanda, thanks for organizing the best swap ever!
Karen's package also included a cute sheep tape measure (which I forgot to photograph) and the nicest card. This lady is one class act, even if she does have something a little kinky going on with her new plying box! (Love ya, Karen)!
And with deadline knitting over for the time being, I have been working on some UFO's.

It about killed me to go in to work after this early morning photo shoot. The breezes are blowing, the sun is shining, and the birds are singing. What's called for here is a hammock and a book or iTunes and some knitting, because I think tomorrow it's supposed to rain. On the bright side, it gives me an excuse to stay in and start my next lace project.

Love the red socks! And I'm so jealous - when I saw those on Karen's blog I was hoping they were for ME. ;-)

Oh, I am soooo glad you l ike them and that they fit! I was so worried about the fitting part. And speaking of kinky, I thought this post would have some kink in it. I remember a certain email from you saying what you would like to do with the socks if they by chance were yours. Hmmmm. LOL!
Love ya right back! :)

Oh hey, I forgot to say that Ella looks really good in black pearl! Is there nothing Lorna's Laces can't do?

Your Ella is stunning, Leah! I have been wanting to knit that, but I haven't been sure of the yarn to use. The Shepherd Sport made a gorgeous one, that's for sure!

The socks are wonderful. I love that red.
Is that the Forest Path Stole you're looking at knitting next? Wow! Lace and Entrelac combined. I bow to your bravery (and would like to know where you sourced the pattern. I know it was in a copy of Interweave Knits, but is it published anywhere else?).
