Made in Korea
Most Biella socks are made in the USA which tickles my toes to no end because we love US made socks. Some Biellas are made in Italy, Mmmm, European quality, style = happy toes. But these are made in Korea which surprised me, we do have other socks of Korean and Chinese origin, several suppliers have their socks made there, and I must say, these are really quite nice! a nylon poly blend, but so soft and warm and comfy, also not as temperamental in the wash. I wore my pair Plumy marled Slipped socks for a couple of days and my only complaint was that they slipped off easily in bed. They were comfy in shoes though and didn’t slip around or make my shoes snug despite how plush they feel, plus they have such great stretch I am sure they will fit larger feet comfortably too ~:)

Is the grass really still green in Portland? We just got a ton of snow and it’s still around 15 degrees or less every day. I want to live in Portland. I’ve been comparing temperatures all winter. Did you get rain yesterday? It said you were going to. oh yea, I like the socks too. Is that dark blob in the background Lola? heehee

hee hee, yes, that is Lola, I think she was looking away because if her neck shows her head should too. I mostly used that picture for this post because I love the way the stuff above the horizon came out, all fuzzy & eerie like. Yes, very green right now because we have been having regular rain (I didn’t see any yesterday though) rather than constant rain and temps in the 40s with just a bit of sunshine everyday. The grasses & mosses are very happy.

So I was sitting there the other day with the one I love and we were at one of our favorite little restaurants and I was eating one of my very favorite foods- sushi- and I was looking at one of my top 10 favorite socks- the lime sushi socks- peeking out of my fuzzy ankle boots and I decided I am renaming them as Wasabi instead of lime…..and I was happy sitting there surrounded by so many favorites!
This really has nothing to do with anything but they Wasabi Sushi Socks (aka Lime) have been restocked and this brought me joy!
And we have tonsssssssss of snow!!!!!!!!!!! :)
