In my comments from my Toasty Toes Pal:

Dearest Emily, I am your pal. You can read all about my sock mishap on my blog in just a few days when you get your first package. But, I assure you, A small “Pre-gift” has been mailed, and the socks will follow in a few days…they must be properly prepared for your properly-prepared toes! I love loved knitting each of the three socks for you!

Dear Toasty Toes Pal,
You are awesome and I look forward to reading your saga (although I am sure it was pretty traumatizing for you and I am very sorry for any stress or unhappiness). Socks with an Epic History are SO much more interesting than your average run-of-the-mill socks. Ask anybody. I am thrilled to have you knitting for me!
Love and warm thoughts,
emily
PS I bet I am the only one with three socks!
