I didn't finish my Christmas socks in time for Christmas. But James had a good time wearing one around the house on Christmas while I knit on the other. I'm about half way done with the second one and I know that I will definitely wear these during the rest of the year because I adore them so. The photo doesn't show the true color, but this is the Christmas Island of Poste Yarn.
If you wanted to stash or knit one of the Poste Yarn holiday colors like Christmas Island, Island of Misfit Toys, Chestnut Hills or Holiday Florida before they are gone (like the red/green Santa Claus, IN already is), please do so as we won't be dyeing these again for months or even next December. Same for all the sport colors and Wizard Series. Anything you see right now available in Poste Yarn won't be dyed again for quite awhile, as we have a full dye schedule for the upcoming months, bringing you some really cool striping colorways.
As usual, the days after Christmas are a busy time for us as many of you spend your cash-gifts on sock yarn. We greatly appreciate that year after year you come back to us to purchase yourself special fibery gifts!
Love it & am knitting my Poste Christmas socks too

I am knitting that one right now! But I haven't even finished the first sock yet, so I'm a little behind for this Christmas, but way ahead for next Christmas!!

You could almost call those: "Grinch finds Christmas" LOL I love the post yarns - and they knit up great for children's hats, too. I'll be watching for the new Poste colors - with 5 little girls to make hats for next year, I'll need to dive in very early - and they all love wild-ish colors.

I did finish Christmas Island socks...early this morning in the nick of time(!)...for my son's girlfriend. He says she will love the colors! If he makes it there today in the weather, I'll know tonight!!

I absolutely LOVE the colors!! I will have to get some Christmas Island to knit myself some more Christmas socks!! A friend of mine dyes yarn, and I brow-beat her into doing reds and greens for me last year, so I could have Christmas socks. Love the bright green in yours.

The Poste yarn I planned on ordering as soon as I returned from visiting the grands at Christmas us gone 8-( Anyone have any of the green & gray Poste (I think it was one if the Wizard color ways) they'd be willing to sell or trade? My grandson fell in love with my socks & I don't have enough left to make him a pair.
