Niqkita's Sock Journal

I don’t usually take sock shots in the sunlight, but when I woke up two Sundays ago to a bright sunny morning I decided to give these pretty new knee highs a shot in the sun. We’ve been getting some really pretty stripes lately and I can never pick favorites so I wore one of each of these with one of each of the new Dreamy Knees…

it made me happy all day

That afternoon, after staying up late the night before finishing a batch of Strange Monster arm cozies for us Rene & her partner Cameron dropped off what would become our last batch of these beloved cozies.

a few days later we learned she passed away the very next day.
A sadness fell over us that was hard to shake. I’d barely gotten to know her in the past few months since we’d met as we mostly exchanged emails and talked briefly during her drop offs. We were about the same age and I loved that she wore pigtails too.

If you own a pair of her cozies treasure them forever because she really did make each and every one of them herself. If you don’t own a pair you best grab some while we still have some. Today it’s grey and we’re finally going to get some rain…
so here’s to the rainbows and sunshine to come.

The Microfiber Chenille Leg Warmers now have two new fabulous colours: Peacock and Plum! And they also have matching arm warmers too! These are wonderfully soft and squishy. They fit snugly against your leg or arm, but aren’t too tight as they’re really stretchy too. They’re the softest chenille I’ve ever encountered. I like to wear the leg warmers on my arms as I wash my hands alot during the day & I can quickly push them up.

I love these warmers so much I bought almost all the colours! They only cost $10 a pair for the leg warmers & $13 for the arm warmers. Such a small price for something so exquisitely joyfull to touch.

As an aside, out of necessity I have to do my laundry in one big load, instead of sorting colours and doing many smaller loads. Last time I washed some new clothes and my pink and camel warmers picked up all the colour from the wash and now they are both grey. I don’t know if this is something peculiar to them or not, but just thought I’d share in case any of you have those rockin’ mono-load-laundry skills like I do. ;)

Here it is! Our official logo, by the amazing Echo Chernik.

I’m betting you’ve noticed the exciting new Tabbisocks stuff we just got in!

No, Morty, I didn’t say tabby socks. These are not for you! Yes, you’re very cute, I’ll pet you later.

When we got these in, I quickly volunteered for the job of photographing and testing them. Piano socks! I’d always been sad that we knee-high lovin’, small-footed ladies had no equivalent to the Men’s Making Music Midcalves, but now the wait is over. These are absolutely adorable. If you have a song in your heart, why not on your legs as well? These will stay up for a million years and never fall down, even if you’re the one dancing rather than playing.

But I won’t lie. These were not my favorites of our recent batch of Tabbisocks. It’s time I admitted it; I’m not just a sock lover. In fact, my love for socks is nearly equalled by my love of…

ARMWARMERS! Oh, how I love them! You simply cannot imagine the wonderfully delicate texture of the Steampunk Armwarmers, or the rich jewel tones of the Harajuku Ribbed Armwarmers. And as you can see, they layer together for even more amazing style and fun. I’m reasonably certain that any combination of these ruffles and ribs will look absolutely stunning. Of course, you don’t have to take my word for that! You are quite welcome to buy every single color of each and test all the possible combinations. (This is, in fact, my plan.)

Even little Morty liked my new armwarmers, or at the least deigned to accept petting while I wore them.
