Yes, there are four!
(pairs of socks, that is)
This is the final pair of the set:
All are made with Paton's Kroy yarn using my usual generic pattern.
Today is Independence Day in the US. I would be remiss if I didn't wish my blogging friends from there a happy day. With all that's going on in that country right now, I'm sure not everybody feels like celebrating. I saw a quote attributed to John Collins which said "It feels weird to celebrate our independence, when it's pretty clear we're losing it". There's a lot of truth in that.

Today's quote is from Booker T. Washington.... "Great men cultivate love, only little men cherish a spirit of hatred"
I had actually forgotten about the 4th of July until this morning when I was trying to make appointments. "Independence Day" is just a cruel joke at this point.
ReplyDeleteIt seems like it's getting more cruel (crueler?) by the day.
DeleteSherryofcreateology: Dear MA I do not know how you find such perfect quotes for “We the People of America” however I believe you really care what is happening to us. Thank You with Love! I adore Tilda and have several of her books with patterns, Unfortunately I have never made anything from those books and patterns. Shame on Me! Blessings Dear. P.S. I do not celebrate July 4th with Fireworks. Yesterday was our 26th Wedding Anniversary…not including our 10 years of dating.
ReplyDeleteThe quotes seem to be easy to find these days. Happy, albeit now belated, anniversary to you and Wayne.
DeleteI had a couple Tilda books and, in a fit of downsizing, I got rid of them. Of course that was BEFORE we had a little girl in the family. Hindsight, right?!
How lovely.
ReplyDeleteHopefully my buyer will be happy with them!
DeleteHappy Canada Day!
ReplyDeleteA bit late as time flies
Great quote and sadly, too true
Thank you for the Canada Day wishes - we are grateful for our country, that's for sure.
DeleteThank you for the happy thought. I am one of the majority very thankful for today, because I was really frighten the last four years with our country going into such great debt and being overrun by goodness knows who sneaking into our country.
ReplyDeleteI have very high hopes after yesterday. Glad to know horrible major criminals are being rounded up and not running free. So I'm celebrating big today.
I'm afraid I don't share your views.
Deleteyeah, me neither!!!
DeleteLove all those socks. I am sure the person will be extremely happy with them.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
I hope she will. They will be Christmas gifts for her family.
DeleteJust lovely socks and so specially wrapped;))) what a great Christmas gift to give--toasty toes for the winter!! Hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteYes, they'll be good for winter. Certainly don't want to wear them right now!
DeleteThe socks look amazing. They look super warm.
ReplyDeleteHopefully they will be liked by the recipients (and even more important, I hope they fit!).
DeleteAbsolutely love your socks! And such a great quote...
ReplyDeleteThey're fun socks - at least in my opinion anyway.
Deletei wrote a bunch of words, but they disappeared before i hit the publish button - just as well, i was responding to one of the comments above ...... i love my country and i fear my current government - that's not being unpatriotic ... and i'll still wave the star spangled banner because this, too, shall pass...
ReplyDeleteNot unpatriotic at all. Sadly the belief systems that were once so strong are now being put in question and it's frightening.
DeletePretty socks and I admire your custom sleeve-packages.
ReplyDeleteThe sleeves were something I found on the internet and have long since lost the information as to where it came from.
DeleteI admire those socks of yours. Who doesn't love hand knitted socks!! Great quotes too.
ReplyDeleteI'm happy with the socks so hopefully the buyer will be too. She will no doubt get a shock when I tell her how much they cost to make!
DeleteThose socks are beautiful. And I LOVE your labels.
ReplyDeleteIt seems like it's the wrong time of year to be doing socks but at least they're finished and ready to deliver.
