First off, I must be VERY clear that I DID NOT MAKE THESE :D My mother-in-law knitted them and sent them to my hubby. I promptly stole them from him and put them on. He only has one usable leg, so there was not much he could do about it :) David's parents are serving as missionaries for our church in Prenzlau, Germany. They come home in September. We miss them, but we can call/skype them :) Oh, also in the package was a bunch of YUMMY German chocolate :) The package was ripped open when we got it and rubber banded back together by the postal service. It seems that everything was still in the package. I am so glad the socks were not lost! Eva is an amazing crafter/sewer/quilter. Hopefully I can learn how to do it with her tutelage :) I am pretty dense with knitting. I have tried SO many times and to no avail. I mix it all up :p
