Sox 2013 6th, 7th and 8th Choices

Three of my friends from work opted into the Sock Giveaway this year.  So.....

... Lucy chose Frantic Frog in Toe-rrific by 5th Ave.  A little background - she is of French Canadian descent and seems to have a frog fetish - so I think she chose by name rather than colour or design!  Hee!  She moved to the Finance Dept. when I retired, as my replacement.  Our Japanese liaison in the Finance Dept.......

chose Hyper Hyena - again in Toe-rrific by 5th Ave.  This is quite a good choice since Taz is a young, good-looking, hard-working fellow who is often quite hyper - trying to get all his missions accomplished!  And - being Japanese is not used to cold Canadian winters - so I hope they keep his feet warm!  Finally - I had a special request for a special colour from Sue.....

.... who wasn't sure if she even wanted hand-knit socks, but thought she would try them if they were purple.  She has had surgery very recently and I was feeling sorry for her, so though I do not usually take requests, I decided this time I would. So, I went to Jo-Ann and bought some more of that Deborah Norville Serenity Sock Yarn in purple (the same yarn I used for Auntie Colleen's purple socks).  I called them Purple People-Eater and saved them for her.  She'll either love them or hate them - I hope she loves them!  That concludes the first sock give-away for 2013.  I may have another one - but I am going to wait until I get home around the middle of April to deliver them.  Postage has more than doubled for socks since last year (their USPS is in financial difficulties and is making a lot of cutbacks and price increases) so it is becoming quite expensive to mail them from here.  I'll let you know.... meanwhile.....

.... Squeegie is still waiting for Poppa to stop reading, so they can move on to their next project.  Next chapter to follow soon!
