These are just lovely, and the color is beautyful. Your Sis also looks and sounds great!

Interesting commentary on gift knitting...I love making things for people but I have to say that I just finally sat down with a knit that was for me...the first in months and I loved that feeling too...making something for me! Also glad that your SIL is so supportive of you. We need that sometimes (even if it makes us blush!) and it's one of the things I find amazing about this world of blogs. People you never met are willing to offer this support to you--it's just incredible! btw--emails are coming your way. Be prepared! And that song on thisi post...I just checked it out and wow...it's beautiful in sound and lyrics isn't it?

And guess what, I have the exactly same shade of Jitterbug in my stash - I think that this pattern and yarn are absolutely a winning combination! Beautiful work!

The pattern is beautiful and the socks are so well knit. (I don't see any ladders!) your mods were a good choice, too. These are some lovely socks for a lucky lady.

I'm so glad your sis-in-law loved her socks. It is really nice to knit for someone who appreciates what work goes into a handknit. I'm sure she'll treasure them always. And I must get that book when it comes out. Those socks are wonderful! I'm a pretty big LOTR fan myself. :) That is such a lovely story, Mel! I’m so glad your sis-in-law loved her socks.
