Well, to tell the truth she's technically made me two pair, but she gave the first pair to somebody who is VASTLY more deserving than I, a friend of hers who got quite ill.

Or something like that.
So she made these:

They came in the mail today. I am happily wearing some truly amazing socks on my feet. They fit perfectly, by the way. :)
She also sent me this book, due to my whining about having to knit a second sock:
Because, as I mentioned, she is amazing. AMAZING, I tell you. Thank you, Kael, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
It's truly amazing how everytime I manage to have a really crappy week and feel completely overwhelmed and horrible, I get these amazing little packages from knitters that really brighten things up.
I think maybe I have a wee bit of a karmic debt at the moment. Best get knitting. :)
