I received my May Day Socks from Katie of Daily Thread on Monday and boy are they terrific!
The green is a lovely shade of sage and the pattern is Artichoke Socks from Soxie. They are so very delicate and pretty.
Katie also included some heirloom petunia seeds from her mother-in-law’s garden, a tube of Burt’s Bee’s Peppermint Foot Cream, and some dark chocolate covered cranberries. Mmmmm. Of course, I sure can use that foot cream this time of year!
Thanks for a beautiful pair of May Day socks, Katie! And thanks, Emily and Lynne, for organizing this sock swap!
Breaking News!
Okay, if you’re going to New Hampshire Sheep & Wool this weekend this announcement is for YOU. We are gathering for a picnic potluck at Noon on Saturday in the picnic grove. Everyone is welcome – please pass the word along!
Be there or be square!
Beautiful socks! Love the pattern and they look like a good fit.
I’ll be with you all in spirit!
I love your socks Carole! Katie did an outstanding job of matching the colour to the pattern. They look great on you too! Have fun at the NHSW; two weekends in a row must seem like a real treat!
Beautiful socks and thank you for the link to the pattern!
you are a hardcore fiber fest addict! with lovely new socks!
Lovely socks!
Have fun at NHSW! Wish I were going.
Lovely gifts! Lucky you. Have a fun time in NH!
Very pretty socks!
Great socks! Guess I’ll have to wait for the picnic photos since NH is very far from me–have fun!
Cool! I’ll be there and I’ll bring something edible.
Beautiful socks! I probably won’t be able to break away, but I’ll wish I could. Stop by and say hi.
Lovely socks! I’ll miss you at NH, since I’ll be there on Sunday. May the stash mojo be with you.
What a pretty pair of socks! Have a great time this weekend!
(((hugs)))
Will see you on Saturday! I’ll bring something chocolate — brownies or cookies.
I’m glad they fit well–they look great on you, Carole! I hope you enjoy them. And I wish I could jet up to NH for the festival–I have always wanted to visit NH.
Lovely. I added that pattern to my Ravelry queue as I watched Katie knit them! Yummy!!
Lovely socks! See you Saturday!
Lovely socks! Going to find that pattern right away.
So pretty! Have fun this weekend!
have a wonderful time this weekend – and if the weather is anything like it is out here, you’ll need some sun screen (always a nice thing for a fiber show!)
Those socks are so pretty – what a grand gift – and thanks for the pattern link 🙂
Beautiful socks! Fondle some yarn & fiber for me!!!
Pretty, pretty socks!
I guess I have to be square, since I can’t be there 🙁
Oh, how funny! I just cast on for artichoke socks last night! But I must admit, that sage color is much prettier than the green I’m using.
Is there anything better than handknit socks? The color in truly lovely.
Hope you have a wonderful time in New Hampshire!
Lovely!
I wish I could be there! Lucky you, two weekends, two fiber festivals! It doesn’t really get much better than that, does it?
Love the socks.
What a lovely pair of socks!
Thanks for the link, Carole. I’m printing it out right now. Ya know, I really do miss out on all the fun because I live on the wrong coast.
Good luck with the NH S&W potluck – I’ll keep my fingers crossed for everyone for weather like we had last year.
You know, I still have pictures on my cell phone from that dinner we all had at Margarita’s after THE NH S&W where it flooded like the second coming Noah…good times. 🙂 xoxo
Your new socks are very pretty!
What a great pair of socks. From the photos the color looks like a great spring green.
Another fiber festival already? Lucky, lucky, lucky.
Lovely socks :o) Have fun this weekend!
Lovely! They are a beautiful color and it goes so very well with the pattern.
Lucky, lucky you!!
Beautiful! I really like the way the pattern finishes on the toes.
Oh, lovely sagey celeryish color. Am I the first to ask what yarn she used?? Looks so nice on your foot too. 🙂
Have fun in NH!
Nice socks! You really lucked out. Thnx for organizing this gathering tomorrow.
I won’t be taking part in the pot luck, as I have other folks to meet for lunch as well (ah, it’s a curse to be popular…lol) but I will for CERTAIN stop by and say “hi”!
Beautiful socks!!!! I love the color and have printed out the pattern to try. Your pal was so thoughtful to send heirloom seeds! Why didn’t I think of that?!?
Carole, Just found your blog via she shoots sheep shots via Mason-Dixon knitting. Read your “100 things” – we have much in common! I’m with you on so much – red hats, reality TV, I’m a September baby too, and lots more. What a cute way to get to know someone. More than that, though, you are a lovely knitter. I’m so impressed with how many things you have produced in 2008 already! Adding your blog to my list of daily reading. Happy knitting!
