Niqkita's Sock Journal

…and all that it brings!
more sunshine, warmer breezes, shorter dresses & many socks.
We’ll be doing a couple of outside events in March…
Hip Chicks do Wine is hosting an evening of self-indulgence, sipping, and shopping at the Grab hosted at their winery here in southeast Portland. The event is sold out and we’re really excited to have an opportunity to be a part of it.
Portland Fashion Week Boutiques Unleashed, hosted by Dove Lewis. We’ll be there showing off and auctioning some socks for pets in need. Lola will not be there due to voice modulation issues (okay, okay, she barks kinda loud, she just has a lot to say sometimes and wants to be sure she is being heard), it’s too bad too because I think she’d look super on the catwalk!
I’ve added a bunch of yummy new things these past few days
and have at least a few more coming for you.

Though it’s been warmer, it has been a less-than-awesome week thanks to an icky little virus that has been going around and keeping us down. I am a little behind in my editing and have been ignoring phone calls and emails completely for days.
One of the bright spots, and there have been a few, was a new batch of tie dyed socks from Tie Dye Eric. This time, O Basics! next up, fingerless gloves and bamboo crews. Plus, lots more O Basics because we’re sure to sell through these quickly.

And in the non-tie-dyed arena we have several additions being worked on…
from technical sports socks to sexy stockings and a few other fun things.
But for now, bring on the pretty colors!!!

I am finally trying the 5 toed tights…
no, that is not me in the image, it is my stunt double Dara
…in one of my favorite images from the past few weeks.
So far I totally love these! they aren’t a cotton tight, which would be pretty nice to have as well and still may happen. These are soft and fairly opaque on me, can’t see my tattoos through them at all, of course they are my ankle, maybe if they were on a wider part of my leg they would show. They remind me a bit of support hose because they hug and shape in a very pleasant way. I just wish it was warmer today so I could be showing them off more, I love the way they make my legs look and it would be so fun to be wearing flip flops right now (hurry up and go away already winter!).

One day recently Tie Dye Eric showed up at Sock Dreams with 2 pairs of tie dyed crew socks and a big idea. What if he took some of our dreamiest socks and performed his colorful magic…

Last September I introduced the Polonova socks and wrist warmers.
Despite only offering a random selection of the knee highs …
requiring you, our dedicated sock lovers, to trust us.
We picked patterns and colors based on what you wrote or ordered…
and they’ve been a huge hit! Now that things have settled down a little here and I have caught up with my endless backlog of images to shoot and edit we have a few styles set and ready to go with more coming! So far we have the Klimt spirals, vines and floral lace up (I’ll be getting better images of the lace done this weekend). We’ll also be adding dragons, square spirals, mehndi patterns (like the velvet wrist warmers), more colors and silk screened velvet gloves with full fingers!
I’m taking more pictures today and will be editing all weekend…
So check back often because these & many more cool surprises are coming.
