Niqkita's Sock Journal

The warm, fall cozy, chocolatey colors on the new slubby bark Super Dreamy are so very rich that if they were eatable I’m sure I could never afford all those calories. THESE ARE GORGEOUS!!! When I ordered them I had no idea how wonderful the texture was. I had thought that they were going to feel much thinner and I just wasn’t imagining them to be of the nice quality that they are… Oh how I love the surprise when things turn out even better than expected!

My all time favorite Dream sock was the Super Marled (and I am still in denial about them being unavailable)… Well sock fans, these come pretty darn close in my book to the greatness of the Super Marled. They are really truly Yummy (sorry, I’ve not tried the O-Yummies yet… But if that name wasn’t already used, these would certainly be an excellent contender for rights to that title).

Okay… Let’s start from the toes and work our way up. Most of the dream line just don’t fit my size 11’s (with two notable exceptions being the Super Stripes and the Oh sooo wonderful larger Ochevrons). The Super Dreamy sockies ALMOST make it, but still come up a little bitty bit short. I think 10.5’s would be perfect in these… And anyone larger who doesn’t mind a hugging fit will joyously embrace the feet in these. Personally, I think these are just so very excellent and the shortness is truly minor… so it is hardly an issue. Moving up… My ample calves slid right into these with plenty of room (I do believe the earth moved when I realized that these actually went up over my knees and still gave me some lovely little folds of extra around my ankles… I LOVE THAT LOOK). If my pins where thinner, these may have made it to mid-thigh on me… But as it is they made it to a PERFECT OTK length. They didn’t stay over my knees as I moved around and chased my little furry bunny butt (One of my many terms of endearment for Vel) around the flat all day. But they did still look really cute in little folds pooled under my knees (which is where they stayed most of the time). I am confident that had I worn a sock garter with them that they would have stayed OTK just fine. Width-wise I had no problems with these on my lower legs, and they comfortably encompassed a width of 23 inches when pulled up towards mid-thigh.
If you are a fall girl (or guy) like me, the Super Dreamy are a MUST. They just seem to take all the lovely earthy colors and textures of this time of year and wrap it around your legs in cozy goodness.

I now have both the bark (woof… Tee hee) and the khaki. Both colors are gorgeous, though I am totally crushing on the khaki and have chosen them as my Favs. One thing I wasn’t head over heels for on the Super Dreamy is the inconsistency of the appearance of almost striped areas on the sock. With my bark pair, one sock seems quite randomly mixed in color variances, and the other sock appears to have a few stripes in the center of it. At first this bothered me… But now, as I’ve been wearing (and totally loving them) for a while… I think I kinda like having near stripes on just one leg (it looks pretty cool now that I think about it, and well heck… I never was one to be consistent in my look anyway). Vel and I give these ten enthusiastic toes and four cuter than cute paws up. I think I may NEED to aquire all the colors of them. :O)
