The O marled are back!

I recently discovered the glory that is the O Marled. They are soft, stretchy and ribbed. They are warm and the look gorgeous! And they stretch easily over my wide calves and at least 6 inches above my knees, where I measure approximately 20 inches. And they don’t shrink at all, even when washed in hot water. The only drawback was that there weren’t to be any more, since the supplier couldn’t get more yarn.
But then, yesterday, I saw that there were two new colours: charcoal and olive! This must mean that there will be more, all hope is not gone!

The ones I’m wearing in the picture are teal, which are gone, but I bet olive, and charcoal look just as good!
And just to show that you don’t have to be a big girl to enjoy socks, and that you don’t really need ot wear them on your feet; I give you a picture of my daughter, wearing O marled in teal and navy on her feet and Smaller footed SuperStripes in lime and navy as a scarf:

The latest on the latest


The site was moved to our new host yesterday.
It was mostly an uneventful move, just the way it was meant to be.
If you were buying socks during the move you might’ve seen an error message. The few people to report this so far got their orders through fine. For awhile the journal wasn’t working, but I fixed most of that, Dan fixed the comments and Olivia made sure I had updated all the info correctly for posting & archiving via Blogger.
International shipping options haven’t been working since last night, but we didn’t find out til this morning so that is being fixed as is a minor glitch with gift codes.
I might not get that lovely new stuff added til this weekend as we continue to be shorthanded, but if our orders would hurry up & arrive we’ll get some stuff restocked!
