    Here are the promised pictures. Thank you again, Shorty89! I love them so much!

    Cut 12 inches back to BSL and donated it. Now just doing whatever I feel like. Won't be going any shorter than BSL.

    Ooh I love these socks! The green ones reminds me of Northern lights. And um I got the exact Monet socks in my stocking from DH. They're so pretty. Great job shorty.

    They are very cozy! My feet haven't gotten cold yet from our hard floors while wearing them. And the temps have been in the single digits and teens (Fahrenheit).

    The picture didn't work, but they were from me! I'm so glad they finally made it after all of the USPS adventuring they did

    Nightshade, I briefly saw your pic before something went wrong with the file. Those socks look great on you.

    Here are long-delayed pictures of the beautiful socks that Nightshade sent me. For each pair, I photographed both socks so you can see the full scene. They're laid out so that while you're wearing them, the same image (reflected) shows on each leg. This appeals to my sense of symmetry. By the way, both are majority cotton, which is my favorite kind of sock. Thank you, Nightshade!

    The first pair has a wintery scene:

    And the second pair has springtime cherry blossoms:

    I really like the color gradient from greenish to blue, since those are my favorite colors.

    Finally, here's the obligatory picture where I'm wearing both kinds simultaneously (with bonus cat):

    Also, my giftee should have received her socks today after a long delay in transit!

    I got them! Thank you physicschick! I saw a Land's End bag and was confused because I didn't order from there for a long time. Turn out to be my socks. They're so warm and cozy. I think the brown pair might be the warmest socks I've ever had. The green pair is fuzzy but still thin enough to go into my boots. The brown ones have grippy bumps at the bottom so they're good to walk on the floor. And I think I might have the same hardwood floor as yours. Is yours red oak, too?

    Here are some action shots. I love my new socks! Wow my legs look burly! Must be the camera angle.
