The Leftovers

As most of my sock choosers probably noticed......... I made four pairs of socks over and above the seven required for the participants in the Giveaway.  I did this on purpose since the last person on the choosing roster will still have a bit of a choice, rather than being stuck with a pair they really don't like.  Poppa and I conferred on what to do with those last pairs.  We came up with the names of four people who don't usually participate due to a lack of computer/internet.... but who have expressed an interest in having a pair of hand-knit socks.  And, then I asked Poppa to choose a pair for each name on the list.  Here are the results:

This pair was sent to Aunt Jeannie.  She is Poppa's youngest sister and doesn't have internet service for her computer yet..........but we know she loves the hand-knit socks and I'm pretty sure her old ones must be getting worn out!

We sent this pair off to Becky.  Do you remember Becky?  She is our friend from Ohio - who now lives in West Virginia.  She works for the Power Company there, and she has been extremely busy for quite a while now -

....here she is with Whitey in their hard hats taking a short break - you can see the big truck on the right hand side of the picture.

This pair went to my friend Mildred.  She is Kev-Inn's mother and she is a kind, gentle lady who takes time out some evenings to sit and chat with Aunt Peggy when I am away in Florida.  Kev-Inn mentioned to me a loooooong time ago that she would like a pair - and I am happy to finally have a pair for her.

Lastly, we saved this pair for Robbie.  She is a really good friend to Aunt Peggy and has been helping out in several ways while we have been away.  She has never had a pair of my hand-knit socks - so I hope she will like them.  And, don't worry Kev-Inn - I have yarn to make you a couple of pairs in time to go hunting next fall!  We appreciate all you do for Aunt Peggy and Grandma Grace while we are basking in sunshine, and you are shovelling snow!
