Last night I came home to find a wonderful package on my doorstep - my sockpal socks have arrived! They're absolutely amazing:
The colors are a big brighter than in reality (they're more jewel toned, ie perfect), but you can see better photos on Monica's blog. The really incredible part about these is that she designed them just for me. On her blog she referred to them as h&g, which she explained to me stands for Hansel and Gretal. You can see the path they followed (complete with breadcrumbs!) through the forest on the sides. She even designed the trees herself! These socks are so cool, and I am so touched.

Why Wild Swan?
In The Wild Swans by HC Anderson, a girl must knit sweaters for her 12 brothers-turned-swans to make them human again, in the short time before she is to be burned as a witch, and she must do it with her bare hands using stinging nettles. In addition to being a very exciting example of knitting in fairy tales, it sums up the essence of knitting; though painfully frustrating at times, it is always worthwhile.

those socks are gorgeous!
What amazing socks! I was watching them being knit on Monica's blog, but didn't realize h&g was for Hansel and Gretel. The breadcrumbs are such a great finishing touch.
