Sockapalooza socks

I had such a great sockpal for sockapaloooza. She emailed me multiple times about my sock preferences. Then at the end, she sent a nice package along with the socks.. containing a letter, postcard, and tasty peanut candy from the midwest (no longer available for the photograph).

The socks are great! She knit them using a toe-up heel-flap method. They look similar to cuff-down socks, but aren't. I will have to try this at some point. They fit great and the yarn is super soft. Thanks Amanda!

Very cute. I really like the blues and greens. I'm intrigued by this toe-up heel flap method. I'm going to have to check that out.

Great socks, Diana! I love the colors. And a whole letter, too! Wow!

I'm glad your new socks fit well. The colors are pretty... gotta get some green in there, right? :)
