Normally when a parcel arrives for me at work it’s something boring like stationery, or food for Moo**, or a present I’ve bought for somebody else. Last week though, something special arrived, something special and just for me and completely unexpected!
Can you guess what it is?
Or does this picture help? No?
Yes, that’s right, not one but two pairs of gorgeous hand-knitted socks from my mother-in-law, Verna.
I already have three lovely pairs knitted by Verna. I love them so much that I’ve started “saving” them. We’re going to New York in December, and I know I’ll need them there. So unbeknown to me, husband mentioned to his mother that another pair or two would be gratefully accepted, and appreciated.
And here they are….
I can’t decide which colour I like best. The obvious choice is the pink… but then, the green and pink are particularly handsome too, don’t you think?
I hope you’re all having a lovely weekend, and that the weather is warmer than it is in Melbourne. I really do think it’s time for spring, regardless of what the calendar says.
Love Terri and Moo xxx
** Moo wanted me to mention that she doesn’t think having dog food delivered is boring.

your feet look very happy in those socks 🙂
Haha! Yes, they’re extremely happy, thankyou! 😀
Wow Terri your socks are beautiful!! Nice awesome presents!! I love both colors!! Moo is so adorable!! Hugz and Live from Lisa and Bear
Thanks! Yes, I think I love both colours too – or all the colours in fact! 😀
What stunning socks! They look so warm and cosy! And beautiful colours!
Thankyou xxx
what a fabulous surprise! They look and fit great. perfect for NY and lots of other times, too.
Thankyou 🙂 Yes, I think they’ll be perfect for New York too – I’m thinking it’s going to be pretty chilly there in December – probably colder than we’re used to here in fact.
you are probably right about that!
Quiet frankly: I am jealous – I want the socks and the mother in law 🙂
Haha! Thanks Carina. Yes, not only are the socks gorgeous, but so is my mother in law! 😀
I like the ones with the green best! They both look beautifully made, though. 🙂
Thanks Karen! Yes, Verna is a beautiful knitter – I wish I was half as good. xx
That are great looking socks, such beautiful yarn!
Thanks Elisabeth! Yes, the yarn is gorgeous. I must find out exactly what yarn she used.
Beautiful cozy socks! Hello Moo!
Thankyou! .. and hello back from Moo! 😀
Happy feet 😀 and tell Moo food is a food delivery is NEVER boring LOL
Haha! Yes, Moo was most offended that I considered food delivery to be boring. I may have to give her a few extra scoops with dinner tonight to make up for it.
Fabulous socks. But oh my Moo is so gorgeous.
Haha! Thankyou, on both accounts. 😀
