Sockapalooza Socks... for me!

My Sockapalooza socks arrived a few days ago and I wanted to dedicate a post to them, because they are wonderful!

Let's start with a picture, shall we?



The yarn is Claudia Hand Painted (one of my very favorite yarns) in the color Sea Dreams. This yarn is so soft. And the socks are so cozy. Here is a photo of me wearing the socks.


The socks are very blue in the photographs - but there is a lot of green too, and the two colors looks great together. Cynthia knit these socks using the "Crosshatch Lace Sock" pattern from More Sensational Knitted Socks by Charlene Schurch. The pattern is really fantastic and here is a closeup:


The color is off in the closeup photo - the first two photos are more true to color. But I think this photo gives a really good look at the stitch pattern.

There were also a few knitting and chocolate goodies in the package as well. :) Thanks so much Cynthia!
