Great Gran called me yesterday to tell me that she had received the “most darling little sock in the mail!”
It’s from Jennifer.
It’s made from a drop of hand-dyed, hand-spun superwash wool so it is truly one of a kind. You can get a good look at the lace stitch on the leg and instep in the picture, but what really made Great Gran’s (and mine) heart melt is the wee tiny picot edge! Great Gran loves her sock, Jennifer, and I love your Etsy shop!
Since I was too lazy to make a swap page (It would have taken me days to get that together and the swap only lasts about three weeks), as your Wee Tiny Socks Arrive, please tell us in the comments. Add the permalink to your blog post if you’ve got one (incidentally, my permalinks are the little needles at the end of the posts)! I’ll add the permalink to this post to the Flickr group page for all posterity to peruse.
PS The Flickr gallery now has 47 socks in it!
PPS The sock Great Gran made arrived at Darlene’s without incident!
I received the sweetest sock in the mail yesterday from Bibby. More details (and pictures) here:

(p.s. Great Gran’s sock really is darling!)
So cute! Great Gran is a lucky lady. (and I have those same flowers at home which are gorgeous right now!)
Too too cute! And so fancy! I’ve sent and received my socks, and I’ll upload a photo when I figure out how!
Poor WH, always in need of something that’s out of bounds. You should really rethink that no counter rule, he Needs to be up there so often. Glad you linked to Great Great’s sock, it was so happy! Go Great Gran!
I received my adorable, Wee Tiny Sock yesterday, along with a minu skein of yarn in case it ever needs “repairs.” You can see more pictures of it on my blog.
Thanks for a great little swap and a great way to welcome in spring.

That is a lovely little wee sock! This was a great swap idea Emily; it is as if wee little elves are dropping magic all over the place!
What a cute little sock! I like those flowers in the background too.
I’ve received my sock and I’ve got a picture up on my blog. http://www.doctordirt.com/blog/arc20070318.htm
I received my wee tiny sock from Janine (http://forknitaboutit.blogspot.com/2007/03/wee-tiny-sock.html). It’s so cute! I’ve got it hanging on my bulletin board at work, doing it’s new job as a lip balm cozy!
I received my sock in the mail today from the fabulous Meg. It was sooo cute it inspired me to blog it on the same day I received it.
I received my sweet little sock today from Debra in KY! See pic (along with other goodies) on my blog 🙂
I received my adorable mini sock from Jan in Michigan and you can see it on my blog

This has been fun, Emily! Thanks!!

and I’ll comment again when I blog about the sock I received (just waiting to upload the photo).
Thanks again – this was the best swap ever!
I am most impressed at the picot edge and lace pattern on your Gram’s wee tiny sock!
I got mine from Jill in OH! Thanks Jill! The yarn is so scrumptious and the sock is adorable. 😀
I’ll be taking pics and posting them on my blog as soon as I find my camera. <3 <3
(Thanks to Emily too, for organizing this. It was a blast!)
Those wee socks kill me! With all the moving stuff I didn’t commit-even though they are so wee
(sincere apologies). Much love to you and cannot wait you to get you out to Seattle or us to Alabama. War Eagle! Go Tigers!
Love to you,M, Great Gran, Darling Sister and the rest of the gang!
My Wee Tiny Sock arrived yesterday from Sheri at scrappyknitter.blogspot.com.
Since I’m working all day today and tomorrow, it’s likely that I won’t get a photo posted until Sunday on my Flickr (http://www.flickr.com/photos/42036343@N00/) account.
Thank you Sheri! You are so awesome and generous!
My wee tiny arrived in KY yesterday from OK. Love it. This was so much fun. Thanks, Emily.
I just posted about the sock I received:

I’ll also add my close-up of her sock to the Flickr group if she hasn’t.
I received a beautiful pink & lime green (hand dyed yarn) from Charles — with a suprise! What a gorgeous little package he made of it, too.

William Henry’s my kinda guy! (Loves his java, he, he – cute pic)

I’m looking forward to next year’s swap!
