Di-sock-pointment
I must admit, I had high hopes for Sockapaloooza. Alison did a great job organizing it and keeping things running smoothly with weekly sock updates. Ashley was a great sock sister, keeping track of our progress along the way. And, I enjoyed knitting my pal’s socks and watching what others were knitting.
But.
I’ve been anxiously waiting for my socks to arrive. And, no socks. They may still be on their way to me, so I’m holding out hope. However, if my pal fell through and didn’t finish my socks, I don’t want to burden anyone (ie - the sock angels) with knitting me a pair of socks simply so that I receive a pair. If my own sock pal comes through (please?), that’s great. But, if not, no hurt feelings. It was fun anyway.
And, on the other side of things, I sent my own socks off last Tuesday - right on schedule. My pal lives just north of me several hundred miles, and should have received the socks by Thursday, or Friday at the latest. Unfortunately, I do not know whether the socks arrived. I don’t know whether the chocolates that I sent melted through their packaging and tissue paper, ruining the socks. I don’t know whether she opened the package and was so thrilled with the socks that she went into a state of extreme euphoria, so overcome with joy that she was unable to shoot me a quick e-mail to let me know that the package arrived. I don’t know whether she opened the package and was so overcome by disappointment that she sunk into a state of deep depression and did not want to let me know what I had done to her.
I just want to know if the socks arrived safely to their new home. Please, sock pal, let me know.
