Because I received my socks today! Lookie here:
I should have waited a few more days before whining here! But first thing I did after trying on the socks and taking photos was to email an apology to Kristy of
Simple Elegance (I like the name of her blog), who made these beauties for me.
If you've been reading my blog since last year, you may remember I made
a pair of New England for myself. But I have to confess that I only wear them when all the socks are in the hamper waiting for laundry day ... I didn't do very well with adjusting the size for myself ... and they are actually a bit big. For some time, I have been considering making another pair because the pattern is a very beautiful one. Now, I have my custom made Koigu (in sumptuous orchid) New England! The fit is just perfect:
Notice I have been playing with the camera again? :) We don't have air-conditioning here, otherwise, I would put it in full force (just for the day) so that I could wear them the whole day! I think the socks would go very well with my Sampler Stole ... the colours match so well! :D
Once again, THANK YOU VERY MUCH, Kristy! I love them!

Isn't that one of Murphy's Laws? Whining about not getting it, and then getting it right away? :D
They're lovely socks, and they do fit perfectly. Lucky you!
Lovely socks! I have to go to the post office tomorrow to pick up two packages that came for me. I'm hoping that one of them is my sockapaloooza socks! I hope mine are as fabulous as yours!
So glad that you did hear from your sockpal after all - and wow, these socks absolutely rock! They seem to fit perfectly, and the pattern and color are so pretty!
Simply gorgeous! They look like they fit you perfectly, and the slight delay is totally worth it!
Those are so pretty--what a lovely color!

That's a really interesting beautiful pattern. They look great on you!
Im so happy that your partner came through for you. They are so lovely. I would have been just like you waiting, in fact I think I was the first time I did sockapalooza. I hoped I wasnt getting the short end of the stick. Hooray for you!
Great socks, they are.
It was a nice surprise,the socks are so elegant!
Very pretty. I've been looking at that pattern myself.

Kristy knit you some beautiful socks! And darn that post...it is slow sometimes (and I know this from experience. Hee hee!)
