The Well-Traveled Socks…
While packaging the Spearfish Socks to head out on their 1516 mi journey from here to thier new home (yes, that is clue) I realized these are quite the traveling socks. They were inspired by scenery in South Dakota, knit in Colorado and will be living 1500+ mi east and slightly south (yes, another clue) in yet a third state. Too bad I didn’t drive the hour up to Wyoming and do some of the knitting there, LOL!
If you’re curious to see the wrapper I designed a little closer up, click here.
In other news, I’ll be adding another button over in the upper right in the not too distant future. In case you didn’t know, Snow is a big bully. Don’t let her musings on kielbasa toes fool you. She twisted and twisted my arm to join her Blackwater Abbey KAL. It’s an ongoing one with no formal start or finish date, so with the low pressure I decided I could join in. I’m not sure what I’ll be knitting for it yet. It might be socks or it might be one of the totes. We’ll see. I probably won’t have time to get to it for a couple months anyway so I have time to think about it. Give me a holler if you have a suggestion for me… And, join with us yourself why don’t you?
I love your sock wrapper!! I will keep that in mind if I ever give away andy of my knitting

The sock wrapper came out great! I’m super impressed. Funny you should mention a KAL for Black Water Abbey.
I got a gift certificate to them a LONG time ago, and still have never ordered any yarn. I won the $25 and
have just had a hard time deciding what I want with it, or how much yarn to get. I wonder if it has expired? ;-(

Amanda, you should definitely join the KAL with your gift certificate. See what an evil armtwister I am?
That label for the socks is extremely impressive. The recipient is going to be thrilled.

Wow! I really love the wrapper on those socks! How cute — where did you do that? Just a simple little photoshop dealie? Very creative!
