Niqkita's Sock Journal

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!).
(more…)

We packed up and headed to the coast when the holiday rush slowed down.
While there I gave my new pair of striped over the knee Toe Toe socks a try.
Tonight I’m wearing them again and loving them! When I first pull them up they are fairly thigh high, but they stay really well just above my knees.
Those aren’t what I wore for the stormy drive out though…

I wore my beloved charcoal M Squared knee highs, still a personal favorite even if they cause a little controversy. I didn’t take them off til around the middle of the second day there when I wanted to try on my toesocks and get pictures by the coast in them. Mr Natosi chose my newly acquired blackcurrant Diamond Ribbed knee highs. I love the color!!! I was coveting them for weeks before I decided I must have a pair, and wouldn’t you know it? he likes them too!

Other socks were enjoyed at the beach
and more new stuff will be showing up over the coming days including this beauty…

B.ella’s Kalana wool tights, made in Italy, totally warm & comfy!

The ToeToe toe socks have always been my favorites though we don’t keep them in stock all the time. The colors are really pretty and the fit is exceptional in the toes. But the top band is a little scratchy straight out of the package this time so I’m going to wash them and continue with my weekend of testing them. I’ll report back later on how they come out, I really hope they haven’t changed the quality, it would be very sad. Last summer we had a few different stripey combinations of them, the purple was a most excellent purple. No purple stripes this year, just a solid purple that I’ll add an image for this coming week. I love spring! it is ever so much more fun to go out and take pictures of socks now!

Just this afternoon boxes arrived full of our newest colors of these!!!
They are as soft, beautiful and stretchy as the tan & charcoal; in black, natural & red.
Liz brought in an armload to fold & tag while we all cooed over their glory. She also made an updated label for the new colors and will soon supply us with pretty pictures of them. Til then you’ll just have to trust us on the colors, they are the exact black, red & natural as the rest of our cotton Dream Stockings ~:)

We also [finally] got another batch of Toe Toe socks, the absolute best toe socks ever! They cost a little more and were a lot harder to get than we expected, but I think they were worth the wait and, hopefully, we’ll be able to stay better stocked on these in the future. I should get the images updated for them in the next week AND there is an OTK this time. Just one, pink clouds, two pinks and a lilac striped all pretty-like. There will be really funky furry warmers too.

And finally (for now), new Leg Avenue stuff. Janey already took pictures, I just need to sit and focus long enough to review them, should be any moment now. I just couldn’t go another minute without updating the journal ~:)
