Here is the wonderful sock I received from tattooedcrafter. I love the colours and it fits perfect too. She dyed the yarn herself and it smells wonderful .


 eta: I might try to take a few better photo's if I can get some daylight, the colours are even brighter than the picture shows, I really love it, I've been walking around with one incredibly warm and colourfull foot all day

[tattooedcrafter]

I'm so glad you like it!

[irilab]

I've also received from christinacoghill so my mismatched pair is complete!

[tattooedcrafter]

I am way too inpatient to wait for my socks any longer, I really hope I get one today.

[tattooedcrafter]

YAY YAY YAY I got my first dock today from irilab and I couldn't be more excited. It fits perfectly and I looooooooooove it.





thank you irilab!!!!!!!!!!
I can't wait to get my second sock so I don't have to walk around with one sock on.

My son Collin decided he like the sock too

[tattooedcrafter]

I just found the post card in the package I was so excited to get the sock I almost threw away the post card.
irilab- it does look like you've only made 3 socks. its awsome. and the post card is too cute.

[irilab]

I'm glad you like it!! It looks great on your son too

I'm so sorry I missed this--I've been stalking you guys for a while, and I'm so glad the gallery's up!  I love the socks that have been received so far; well done!  They're gorgeous, and they look like so much fun to wear.

I hope there's another round in the offing!

(Sorry about all! the! exclamation! points! )

I got my sock from Iris.  She does super socks!!! I can't believe it is her second sock she made.  I think she will be the next sock queen!sorry for the crappy photos my batteries are almost dead in the camera. 

[tattooedcrafter]

thats an awsome sock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[irilab]

I'm glad you like it! It was a fun pattern, most was worked on two straight needles.

[christinacoghill]

I got my other sock from Honeyd last night. Now to get some batteries for my camera (its amazing how many batteries it sucks dry) and post some photos.

[christinacoghill]

I received my 2nd dobby sock swap from honeyd.  Its hard to take pictures of your own feet! Plus she sent me some super cool handspun yarn. It is inspiring me to get my wheel out and spin some yarn up this weekend. 

[tattooedcrafter]

Your socks look great together

[irilab]

They look lovely together!

[christinacoghill]

We should be getting more photo's posted soon!! I cant wait to see the other cool socks we received

[irilab]

Yes, I'm hoping to see some more soon!

Tattooedcrafter I hope my sock will get to meet it's new partner soon . Does anyone know if everybody has sent out? We haven't heard from our organizer in a while.. I hope she's OK!

[tattooedcrafter]

Last time I talk to her she was really busy and hasn't had much free time

[Madmatigan79]

Hi everyone!

Sorry I've been an absentee organizer on this swap - October turned out to be one crazy month (ft work + ft university + ft family = YIKES!). Thanks everyone for your patience.

I received some fantastic socks from honeyd and tattooedcrafter (if you guys have photos, feel free to post them - my camera cable is MIA right now, so it might be a few more days before I can get photos up). The socks are pretty and oh-so-cozy in the cooler weather we've been having. So thanks girls, I love them! (also, thank you, honeyd for the wonderful handspun yarn - so pretty!!)

Now for a status update - this is what I've got - if it is incorrect, please let me know:

christinacoghill - sent & received both socks/partners received
honeyd - sent & received both socks/partners received
irilab - sent & received both socks/partners received
tattooedcrafter - sent both socks, waiting to receive from 1 partner/partners received
madmatigan79 - sent & received both socks/1 partner waiting to receive

Let me know if there are any errors. If everything is correct, then I can go ahead and update swap feedback (everyone gets A+ of course!).

[tattooedcrafter]

SO here is the sock I sent to Madmatigan79, used harry potter colors, dark red and goldish, I don't have any really good pictures but you can get the general idea.



this picture shows the colors a little better, the one I used on htis sock is on the far left, the other ones I used on irilabs



I hope Madmatigan79 can get some better pictures.

[tattooedcrafter]

I finaly got my wonderful sock from Madmatigan79, I love it, it fits great, now I have an awsome pair of mis matched socks.
I don't know if you can tell in the picture but the sock is bright blue, which happens to be the exact same color as a blanket I'm making for my dad, purple and green.

[irilab]

Wow that's a cool pair! That sock is gorgeous madmatigan79!
I also love the sock with the Harry Potter colours!

[Madmatigan79]

Feedback updated! Please let me know if there are any problems!

Thanks, everyone, for a fun swap! (anyone else have pics to post?)

Tattooedcrafter: I'm glad that sock finally made it there! Looks like it fits alright (I was a bit concerned about the size - I didn't take the stitch pattern into account when I knit my swatch, so the gauge was off a bit)

[tattooedcrafter]

my sock fits great, it just looks wonky in that one picture because I was trying not to fall off my bed while I was standing in it taking pictures
