Guess what? I received my very very first hand knitted gift the other day. A pair of socks! And it is my very very first pair of hand knitted socks. Because, you see, after knitting socks for my husband's size 13 feet on US zero needles, I was less than motivated to knit any for myself. But now my feet feel loved. And really, I think they feel much better because someone special gave them to me. :) Aren't they beautiful?! *sigh* Thank you, oh beneficent sock knitter!

I love the color -- yum!

 
Handknit socks are the univere's way of saying "Hey feet! Don't worry! Be happy!" I'm currently working up a plan for a full body suit that will have the same magical properties without looking like something really frightening from a 70's knitting magazine. ;-)
 
Oooh pretty!

I love hand-knit gifts!! I haven't got too many, but when I do they're so special!
 
Trying again to leave a comment. I think this has something to do with Blogger switching from beta.

Anyway, I was trying to say that your gift socks are a wonderful color. They will bring much comfort to your tootsies. They do have magical properties.
 
VERY beautiful--lucky you! Now don't you wanna go & make some yourself??
 
Oh, wow! Somebody must really like you to knit such great socks for ya. Mmmm They look soft!
 
Very nice socks! Somebody loves you.

Those are absolutely gorgeous, wonderful socks.
