Look! Yummy, beautiful socks from Cookie for my birthday. They arrived in Friday's mail at the best time for me since I was feeling a bit blue. I immediately pulled the plain old regular wool store-bought socks off my feet and pulled on the yummy goodness in yarn from Cookie. Instant good feelings. And, whether there was chocolate in that package or not, I'll not admit to. Cookie told me she knit them in Cascade 220 and the pattern is (ravelry link) Saxony. Thank you, Cookie, you have excellent timing.
I'm flying to DC today in order to be there for Monday morning meetings. It is a nice (hopefully) direct flight and I should arrive there in time to see the NSO Pops Happy Holidays concert at the Kennedy Center. I'm meeting a co-worker and we're having dinner before the concert. This week will be a full one and I'm looking forward to enjoying vacation starting Friday through the beginning of the New Year.
Yes, it is a Happy Chris-Moose! :D
Happy Sunday!
Oh, that concert will be fun -- if you're not full to the brim with holiday spirit yet, that'll probably do it!!

That Cookie is a wonderful little bite isn't she?
I love the house socks she made for me. I'll have to look up what they were and maybe make some of my own.
Enjoy your concert and vacay. :D

Cookie is great. Totally great.
Love the socks, love the moose (you knew I would). Have fun in DC - I bet it's awfully pretty there this time of year. At least in spots...

Perfect socks, perfect timing! I love that pattern - I think I need to revisit my plan of knitting those, now that I see yours!
Hope your travels were uneventful.

Wow, those socks are in a far superior league with what I call hand knit socks. That Cookie is somethin' isn't she. Here's hoping your week in DC is productive and you've got lots of time to relax over during your time off.

You are a lucky lady, with warm feet! Have a great (short) week!

The Saxony socks are amazing! Nothing like a hand knit from a friend to cure the blues.

I'm so glad they arrived when you needed them and I am thrilled they fit.
