Hello Socklady,
My mom picked up some of your wonderful socks in Deerfield, MA last fall for my daughters. We were thrilled to catch Whoopi Goldberg wearing some that were very similar on "Live with Regis and Kelly" a few months back. We love them - they'll be stocking stuffers in all of our stockings this Christmas!
thanks, Mary

Hi Socklady,
I just ordered a pair of the socks for our priest at the Cathedral here in Raleigh. He loves wearing very bright colored socks and proudly shows them off before beginning Mass each Sunday. The ones I ordered are extra special as they are a gift as he will be baptizing my granddaughter in a few weeks. I wanted something that would always remind him of this special occasion for the family. I do believe that the pans socks ought to do just that.....

Hi,
I just received my very first socks from my sweet husband for Christmas. I have stolen socks all my life, first from my father and then my husband. My thirty plus years of criminal behavior is now over because of your socks. I have several pair, all in different color patterns, and mis match all of them. They have their own drawer and I simply grab the first two on the top. I am careful to wear all of them once before I start over so they will age equally. Thank you very much from a former thief.

Hi,
I just wanted you to know that I now have four pair of your wonderful socks. I'm diabetic and your socks don't make my feet hurt. I wear them winter and summer. The first pair came from a craft show in Merideth N.H. I bought the rest in Center Harbour at a place called Yikes. I'll get more eventually from your web site. Thanks for the wonderful socks.

Hi,
We received two pairs of BEAUTIFUL socks made by you, from our friend Susan in Vermont. My daughters, 13 and almost 12 years of age, love them. And it makes me smile whenever I see them walk past, those funny non-matching-colours.
Love from Holland, Paula

Dear Socklady,
A friend of ours gave myself and my daughter some of your wonderful cotton socks. These socks have quickly become our favorite socks ever! I suffer from having poor circulation in my feet and my feet are constantly cold. These are the first socks that have kept my feet so warm and comfortable all day long. Please e-mail me to let me know when you will have the adult medium size cotton socks available. Your socks are not only warm and comfortable they are a beautiful work of art!

Dear Socklady,
I work for the Denali Foundation, a non-profit educational organization located just outside Denali National Park and Preserve. We have MANY knitters in our community, holding weekly "knitting nights" that travel to different knitters' homes. We share smoked salmon, moose & caribou meat & of course wine & chocolate! My mom just sent me a pair of Socklady socks and I COVET them! I love them! The knitters I knit with will love them!
I appreciate your time & creative energy! Thank you,

Hi Socklady,
I LOVE my solmate socks! I have all four sets of your cotton socks, and I think I'm going to have to purchase some woolen socks for winters. I was wearing a pair at a conference this spring, and when I pulled up a pantleg to share what I think are the coolest socks ever, a friend nearly had a heart attack! She's one of those "matching" people, and told me if she saw me wearing my mismatched socks again it would give her nightmares! She almost fainted when I forgot she was in the room and I was showing them off to someone else!

Hello Socklady,
My socks have been to numerous countries (australia, spain, mexico and the US). They go with almost everything I wear, even flowered skirts. Perfect strangers come up to me and tell me how much they love them. I know how to knit and love it..but your socks go beyond my imagination. These were a present from my niece who said they were for her.. "crazy, spider lou..who likes wierd things". SO, I am ordering some for me, for her, my boyfriend and a couple more! Thanks for sharing your creativity and being so accessible. Finding interesting wool socks is almost impossible these days with all the synthetic materials. Thanks for keeping to natural fibers too!!

Hi Marianne,
I thought you would enjoy this response from my friend in Canada. I sent her a pair of your cotton socks as a New Year present--and they were obviously a hit! Hope you're keeping warm.

Dear Catherine + Socklady,
I can't thank you enough for those magnificent socks. I absolutely love them, and I can tell that I'm going to feel especially energetic, whimsical, and playful when I wear them. They really are beautiful works of art.

Hello Socklady,
I just received four pairs of your socks for my birthday (two cotton and two wool) and I am SO pleased with them. I work at my local high school and I am called sock lady because I generally have on some type of novelty sock. Then in January at the dentist I saw your ad (in Vermont Life) and I had to check you out. Then I begged my family for socks (yours) for my birthday. I love them, and thank you for a wonderful product and life philosophy.

 I love, love love my sunny socks! I used to have what I called 'travel socks' - really cool socks that kept my feet warm on the plane and in the car when I didn't want to wear shoes. I lost them, and then; while attending this past year's 'Dicken's on the Strand' event in Galveston, TX, I saw them! So, I told my friend I just had to have them for Christmas. They are on my feet now. Please keep me on your list, so I never have to be without again. Congratulations for your creation. Both me and my feet are happy.
in gratitude, M B

Dear Socklady,
I found your socks at the pheasant lane mall in nashua nh and i bought 10 pair of the wool and 5 of the cotton to give away for christmas. as i started to wrap them, i couldn't decide which ones to give away, so i kept 8 pairs of them for myself. i am a solmate junkie now. thank you for making them and i appreciate your work and craft in designing them. the socks i did give away got raves, and i think i got them hooked on the solmates too. just thought i'd drop you a line of appreciation.

They are so comfortable. I have the Bluebells. You make great socks! thank you for giving me permission to not match my socks. :)
Feet everywhere thank you!!

My husband gave me three pairs of socks for Christmas -- I opened them as my "Christmas Eve surprise"!! I LOVE THEM!!!!! He couldn't have done better -- they are so fun and unique! As a new knitter I can really appreciate the care that went into these! Thank you so much for taking the time to make socks fun!!!

Dear Socklady,
I bought two pair of socks that were not mismatched (your solmate socks) some years ago at a crafts fair. I had intended to give a pair to my daughter who was then in college. But (I'm ashamed to say) I couldn't bear to part with EITHER pair, so I wear them both. Both pair thanked me, as they don't mind being washed after every outing. My socks have been to Ireland where it rained and to Iceland where it was freezing cold. I wear them with birks so that everyone can admire them (even in Ireland in the rain and Iceland in the cold wind).

p.s. I often wear them over tights when I wear skirts or dresses. Then I can be warm in the winter and still beautiful. They look most elegant with my black velvet dress and black tights and black birkenstocks.

Dear Marianne,
I saw your socks on somebody's feet (they have traveled to this far end of the world from the US) and since then I'm in love with them. I found your webpage and now I ask you: how can I buy some pairs from over here in Hungary, Budapest? If it's possible I would like to have some for myself and also for my kids and family.
Waiting for your reply!

I had returned from a trip to Vermont where I purchased two pairs of your socks at the Stowe Art and Craft Festival. I went to a farmers market here in Washington wearing the socks with my Berkies and was approached several times with "where did you get those socks?" So I got each individuals e-mail and sent them the information. I love my new socks and can't be without them.

I first saw your socks while vacationing in New England in the fall of 2002. A friend and I were traveling together and she bought a pair of socks while we were in Stowe, VT. I loved them; but hesitated to buy mismatched socks. (I had a mom who taught me that things HAD to match.) Though we live miles apart; I've spent time with my friend a couple of times since our trip together; and have always regretted not buying a pair for myself whenever she's worn hers...Imagine my delight when I found them last month on a trip to Steamboat,CO! I bought myself a pair immediately! My boyfriend asked why they don't make cool socks like those for guys (...guess what HE'S getting for Christmas?)! My Christmas list is growing. Besides socks for him; I've ordered another pair for myself, one for my sister and yet another pair for my great-niece!
You're right: life IS too short for matching socks!
