Julie W. (
JulieKQuilts) and I have followed and read each other's blogs for years. Julie's a dedicated cardio nurse whose own heart is as big as Texas, as she often makes beautiful quilts and gives them to her special patients.
In 2011, I made Julie a
pair of socks for a
swap we had arranged. I am still using and loving the placemats and mug mat she made and sent to me.

I got a chuckle when I saw Julie's comment on the recently finished
Chameleon Socks, and I knew it was time to make some more socks for her.

Julie's feet are tiny (size 5 compared to my size 10), so I was able to knit two pair for her in the time it normally takes me to knit one pair for myself. Julie's socks are pairs #9 & 10 in my 2018 Box of Socks knitting quest.
Enjoy these socks, Julie. I promise it won't take me seven years to knit another pair or two for you.
How lovely! I love it when you have a chance to do something nice for someone and it involves knitting. :-)
ReplyDeleteThe purple and green is so neat. Very different. You are so brave with dark yarns.
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful and I am sure she will love them.
ReplyDeleteNancy, I wore the first pair until they were completely worn out, and I still have them!! Thank you so very much...I love them so, so much!!!
ReplyDeleteYep, socks are like potato chips. No one is happy with just one pair. If you gift a pair you always have to be ready to make more. Hand knit socks ruin you forever for the store bought version.
ReplyDeleteHow nice!!! Love Julie's new socks. She's a lucky one.
ReplyDeleteHow great to have someone else who loves knit socks! I can't imagine knitting socks so small, says the 9.5 foot woman.
ReplyDeleteA VERY sock-worthy friend!!! Those are the best kind to have.
ReplyDeleteLovely socks!
ReplyDeleteSounds like she deserves to be treated with new socks. Blogging friends are special people.
ReplyDeleteNice to pamper a special friend! She will love these socks!
ReplyDelete😂 This gave me a good chuckle! It’s nice to have good friends. I love reading your blog and I love when you are doing socks and baby hats. Have a good day. Hugs,
ReplyDeleteHow nice, I popped over to read your friends blog and she is so thrilled with your wonderful gift. Would you like all your readers to give you our sock sizes?
ReplyDeleteLove the blue/purple socks. Nice of you to send your friend some socks. As much as I like to make and give my quilts away to a charity . . . every once and a while it's nice to surprise someone with a special hand made present.
ReplyDeleteLucky her! Those two pair are pretty and fun!
ReplyDeleteI am finally getting around to commenting on a few of your posts. This story was precious. What a lovely friend you are. You have such a way of blessing others. <3
