Niqkita's Sock Journal

8 PM – 2 AM Saturday March 27th
Melody Ballroom at 615 SE Alder, Portland OR
We’ll be at the Vampire’s Ball selling our wares and enjoying a night of gothic elegance and decadence. Tasty treats and professional photographers are also promised to help make it an evening to remembering long into the afterlife.

Dearest Sweet Marcel,
I love your socks so very much!
I love them over my knees while I dream of tea in the conservatory at dawn
and I love them over my friends knees while we giggle with the dogs at noon…

All my friends love you for being so easy to get along with, in fact, I think my larger friends love you the most because your socks stay up so well on them, I often need to pull them back up now & again or use garters, not that I mind, I find it adds to the charm that is Sweet Marcel. I think we’re going to very good friends.
Love & warm toes…
always,

Foot Traffic’s Lace Topped Rag Socks…
These are sort of a sleeper of a sock, one I secretly adore, then wonder why the rest of the world doesn’t love them as much as I do. They are topped with the kind of lace that isn’t so frilly it can’t go through a normal wash load with the rest of my clothes. Thick enough to be a slipper sock for around the house or add that extra bit of padding in looser shoes, they make a perfect boot sock too. They may be one of our thickest short socks (the New Zealand Bedsocks are perhaps a tad thicker), but I still enjoy wearing them even on warmer days because they breathe well, I even managed to stretch the toe out a little to wear comfortably with my flip flops yesterday.
I only have a pair of the pretty rose tinged oatmeal, but am sure to have one of each before long. Because, you know, you can never have too many socks!
