I am SO in L-O-V-E with the Sockpalooza Socks my pal, Jane of OzKnitter, made for me. They are perfect, perfect, oh-so-perfect! Fit, style, coloring, lace--everything is just wondermous when it comes to these socks. Even Zoe likes them!
They are made with hand-dyed Australian yarn (Live 2 Knit's Smoke colorway) and Jane wrote that the pattern is inspired by the "Padded Footlets" from Favorite Socks.
Jane of OzKnitter also included the leftover yarn, some Patonyle sock yarn
in color 4310, a lovely smelling "Botanical Bug Buster Moth Ball,"
and a s-s-sweet card of yarn and a postcard of
Thank you so much Ms. Jane of OzKnitter! I absolutely am enamored with the socks you made for me and am quite certain that I shall wear them soon with this absolutely chilly weather here in San Francisco.
*DSL Update: Blog posting, comment-replying, emailing, and all-things-internet-related shall be pretty much lacking until at least the 17th of August when the DSL-person comes by our complex to work his or her magic on the switchboard. So until then I shall be dearly jonesing for the spectacular world of the internet.*
Yay! You're very welcome Holly and I'm delighted you love them and that they fit! I had lots of fun knitting and designing them. I'm glad you like the scent of the "moth ball", I keep some in my stash to keep the nasties at bay (so much nicer than 'real' moth balls!)

I'm trolling over here from Cass's blog to do an extra entry for her contest, which I hope you already know about since you won't be able to go on the "interweb" until the 17th. I picked yours to look at since I live near SF. That's one lovely sock you got! I keep wanting to join Sockapalooza but I've got so many projects going on already.
