Niqkita's Sock Journal

I have been totally loving our tube socks all over again since the weather has turned cold & wet. I wore the lilacs above, they are part of the pastel tubes group, we have them split up to keep the page size form being too large with all those choices (just like we do with a few other styles in our private line). We are in stock on all colors in both sections except for light grey, which should be in shortly, we even have some new shades that we are yet to get photos of, but they are the same colors that are available in many of our other styles like teal & walnut. I used to hate tubes because the would slip off my toes and bug me, but these have stayed up really well, I rarely have to adjust them and they come up pretty high on my thighs (they don’t fit well past 19 inches around). Thanks to them I can wear my comfiest shorts, I even added a layer of stripes, sadly, we are still out of many of the M Stripes, we’re actually cutting that line down just a bit, but will be restocking on several as soon as we can because they are definitely a favorite, though they do disappoint some people because they are a tad small in the feet & loose around the ankles, I think they make great slouch socks that stay nicely at or just above my knees and don’t mind their short comings at all.
My fingerless gloves/arm warmers, they are new, but because I know they are going to sell like hotcakes I’m waiting til we get our next shipment before I add them in, sorry to tease you with them, because they are super nice! really comfy & soft. Off into the weather in tubes & shorts I go…

It’s raining like crazy outside and has been for hours…
the dogs don’t want to go out to potty in it & I don’t want to go out and drive in it. On days like this I really miss working at home and look forward to the days that I have enough help well enough trained that I can let them not only print all the orders but pull & process them all as well and I can stay cozy here taking photos in my little studio, then editing & adding them from the comfort of my futon. That day will come, but not til long after the holidaze. We’re having a temporary lull before the really big sales start coming in and all I can say is if you are doing your holiday shopping with us get what you can while you can. Just like we keep saying we are running out almost as fast as we can order some stuff in and we are getting bombarded with letters asking when we’ll restock, why we’re out of “everything” (which is far from true, we actually have hundreds of items in stock every single day) we’ve even been asked if we are going out of business ~obviously these people are not reading the journal, or the front page of the site. Judging by all the slow postal deliveries we saw over Halloween I am scared about December, I also think I’m going to add shipping, just a few dollars per order and probably only for the month of December to encourage people to consolidate orders & add the extra dollar for priority which just might get it to you a little quicker. It is annoying how many people seem to think we personally deliver the packages and gripe when their free shipping is either late or stolen off their porch, folks, we offer signature confirmation for only $2, that’s less than most companies charge to ship in the first place, do we have to start requiring it with every order? no, I don’t think most of you would like that. Now, where was I? Oh yeah, give us this week to rest then order like crazy and if you don’t have it within a week of ordering write to us, don’t wait til the day you needed it because most times it was already delivered or is sitting at your post office waiting for you to come get it, I promise we will add nifty things like automatic tracking information and a much smoother shopping cart, as well as back in stock notices right in your inbox, but first we have to get through the holidays. Yup, it’s still pouring and I better get off my butt and get into work, many socks are waiting to be sent to their new homes ~:)
