Already for two years I had this pair of hand knitted Estonian woolen socks with ROSES
But they did not fit in ANY of my shoes...
Got me some bone colored Crocs in a size 9 and that works perfect!
Knew Mieke, from the blog Gebreide Sjaals in The Netherlands.
Did have her knit a beautiful lace knitted scarf in black, for our adopted daughter Liz in Rotterdam, The Netherlands.
Never got any photo of it however...

All hand knitted in Estonia and they truly are gorgeous!
Pieter took this detail from my leg...
One can only admire such incredible work!
Wearing my Escada skirt (pleated in the back) with my roses socks and cashmere sweater.
Bare legs as I was having my medical pedicure at Georgia Podology Services in Lithonia, GA near Atlanta.
Next day, wearing my Wolford pantyhose under my knee socks with roses.
This was at the Hyatt House Atlanta/Cobb Galleria.
Inside our room...
Do you like ROSES and warm woolen socks?
Your socks are very cool and so bright and cheery!
ReplyDeleteDearest Terry,
DeleteOh, they feel so soft and warm—very pleased with this combination.
She also sold socks with kitties on... 🐱

Mariette
Those are the cutest socks, Mariette. And you know I would love the roses on them. They match your sweater nicely. All the socks are so pretty, and how special that they are hand knitted. Thanks for sharing, Mariette.
ReplyDelete~Sheri
Dearest Sheri,
DeleteSure, you love them—color and all!
Only in Eastern Europe this can still be done by hand and they traditionally know how to.
Hugs,
Mariette
Your Estonian rose socks are so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI love how you paired them with the bone-colored Crocs.
The combo is so fun and comfy.
Hugs and blessings, dearest Mariette
Dearest Veronica,
DeleteThank you and I did fall in love with them at Mieke's blog!
Those bone–colored Crocs were really the best I could find and I'm quite happy with that choice.
Hugs,
Mariette
Calzini meravigliosi.Stammi bene Mariette!
ReplyDeleteCara Olga,
DeleteMille Grazie!
Abbracci,
Mariette
Those socks are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteDearest Memories of Eric and Flynn,
DeleteThank you so much—I fell in love with them.
Hugs,
Mariette
Mariette, those socks are BEAUTIFUL! I've never seen anything like them. I'm glad the tradition of making them survives, hope that continues!
ReplyDeleteDearest Kim,
DeleteThank you and the ladies' hands that manage to make them ought to continue doing so and also teach younger ones to do so!
Hugs,
Mariette
Warm socks :-) definitely and hand-knitted if possible. Of course not in summer, then barefoot is the order of the day.
ReplyDeleteYour outfit is so cheerful. Excellent.
I also have these crogs in a light green and they are wonderful to wear.
Roses - I love them.
Happy greetings to you Mariette.
Viola
Dearest Viola,
DeleteYou yourself know how to create things and let's hope that those Estonian ladies continue doing this.
Thank you so much and glad to read that you too have some light green crocs.
Hugs,
Mariette
Yes, yes, yes! I love flowers and in pink and green. I have similar colours in my house, here and there.
ReplyDeleteThose socks leave me with a feeling of joy.
Dearest Wendy,
DeleteThank you and yes, those patterns caught my eye right away and I had to order them!
They also do socks with kitties—equally artful.
Hugs,
Mariette
Really beautiful socks. Have a nice weekend Mariette.
ReplyDeleteDearest Anne,
DeleteThank you and wishing you a nice weekend as well.
Hugs,
Mariette
Those knee socks are so lovely that you better not remove them in any public place or they will be stolen! The knit work is just incredible. How lovely it makes you look from the waist down, lol, as we do not see your smiling face here today. Thank you for showing us these stunning socks. Lynn and Precious XX
ReplyDeleteDearest Lynn and Precious,
DeleteThank you and yes, I instructed Pieter to capture my socks mainly and just showing a tad of my pink cashmere sweater.
Hugs,
Mariette
Dearest Mariette,
ReplyDeleteRoses for spring! Love your socks and your shoe solving!
We are seeing signs of spring. We may have daffodils in a few days.
Wishing you and Pieter a happy week end..............hugs, Suzi. (because Blogger is strange)
Dearest Suzi,
DeleteRoses do for every season and never go out of style.
Glad that your area also is showing a little spring advancement!
Happy weekend back to you from both of us.
Hugs,
Mariette
those socks ARE gorgeous, a lot of hard work went
ReplyDeleteinto making them. I know what you mean about fitting
a sock into a croc though. I bought a new pair of crocs
and until the back strap became a bit “stretched “ if
you will, I had to wear a thinner sock with the crocs 🍀
Dearest Mommy of Angel Dai$y,
DeleteThank you and yes, we can only admire the hours of work by those Estonian ladies.
Without such thick socks I never could wear any crocs as they are far too wide for my feet.
Hugs,
Mariette
Hej Mariette
ReplyDeleteJa, dat zijn prachtige kniekousen. Die moeten niet verstopt onder een lange broek. Leuk zo in combinatie met de crocs.
Fijn weekend, lieve groet Willy
Dearest Willy,
DeleteDank je en het is inderdaad kunstig werk en ze zijn zeker niet om te verstoppen.
Fijn weekend en liefs,
Mariette
Hello Mariette, It seems that those socks were created with you in mind. And the bright colors are perfect for this season. Wear them in good health!
ReplyDelete--Jim
Dearest Jim,
DeleteOh, I sure do LOVE anything roses as you know. They cheer up any day and I will wear them proudly.
Hugs,
Mariette
Appaws appaws for the beautiful socks. I am a fan of socks however I buy mine. I've tried several times to crochet socks but I obviously have mental block.
ReplyDeleteThanks for showing them
Hugs cecilia
Dearest Cecilia,
DeleteThank you and these I've also bought as I could never produce anything like this.
No, I've never tried to crochet any socks...
Hugs,
Mariette
I adore your socks, Mariette! They are absolutely beautiful, and so "you."
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
Dearest Martha Jane,
DeleteThank you and yes, roses make me happy!
Hugs,
Mariette
I like the look of those socks, oh so pretty
ReplyDeleteDearest Jo-Anne,
DeleteThank you and yes, they're knitted in a skillful and meticulous way.
Hugs,
Mariette
Son preciosas las rosas que los adornan y tienen variados y bonitos colores, para combinar con el color de la ropa, que ese día lleves.
ReplyDeleteFeliz fin de semana. Un abrazo.
Querida Antónia,
DeleteGracias y sí, me encantaron a primera vista. Están muy bien hechos.
Abrazos,
Mariette
They're beautiful!
ReplyDeleteDearest Melissa,
DeleteThank you and yes, they sure are keepers!
Hugs,
Mariette
I love pink roses, and these are such lovely socks. I have never had knitted socks, but I am sure they are wonderfully cosy and warm for the cooler weather. It is so hot here, we only use very light socks in Winter and no socks in Summer.
ReplyDeleteDearest Patricia,
DeleteThank you and these hand knitted socks are so special and done from great quality wool.
In your region you certainly don't need such socks for warmth!
Hugs,
Mariette
Beste Mariette,
ReplyDeleteDat zijn prachtige kunstwerkjes die sokken, heel mooi!
Ze staan zeker leuk in de Crocs.
Fijne zondag alvast gewenst en lieve groetjes,
Hilly
Hilly
Beste Hilly,
DeleteJa, zo'n breiwerk kun je bewonderen—zou het zelf niet redden!
De Crocs zijn perfect om ze in te dragen.
Ook fijne zondag en liefs,
Mariette
Eu adoro rosas, mas nunca vi meias tricotadas com rosas,
ReplyDeleteque lindas! É uma arte muito difícil, e a pessoa que tricotou é muito talentosa!
Gostei muito de ver, querida Mariette,
um feliz domingo para você e Pieter!
Abraços!
Prezada Taís,
DeleteComo você, adoro rosas e me apaixonei por essas de malha artística.
Feliz domingo para você e Pedro.
Abraços,
Mariette
Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteDearest Eastside Cats,
DeleteThank you!
Hugs,
Mariette
Those are very pretty, and they look so warm and comfy. Glad you were able to wear them with crocs.
ReplyDeleteDearest Meowmeowmans,
DeleteThank you and they sure are pretty—a must have item that I don't regret buying!
With the crocs this goes perfect.
Hugs,
Mariette
Gotta love those socks!
ReplyDeleteDearest J–Cats,
DeleteYes, I certainly DO!
Hugs,
Mariette
Wonderful to have socks that are knitted with love and care.
ReplyDeleteMy mother used to knit us socks, but none were as gorgeous as those! LOL!! Rudimentary grey or beige at best....By the way her name was Meike...(not Mieke), peeps who were not Dutch called her Mike-eh, LOL!!
Dearest Ingrid,
DeleteYes, that is indeed in itself rich a possession!
Yes, my Mom, Mother–in–law and others did all knit socks back then.
Meike is a beautiful name and here in the USA or in Canada they have a problem pronouncing that. I'm used to having my name mutilated.
Hugs,
Mariette
I love those socks. Mine are boring and yours aren't.
ReplyDeleteThank yo for the prayers for hubby Zane. Most appreciated.
Have a fabulous day and week. ♥
Dearest Sandee,
DeleteThank you and yes, these are incredible works of art.
Wishing you both all the very best!
Hugs,
Mariette
I also have several pairs of hand knitted socks, none as beautiful as yours! My son and I returned from a three day weekend in Las Vegas! Happy to be home after all the hustle and bustle. We don't gamble, but saw a great college basketball game and an amazing Carrie Underwood concert!
ReplyDeleteDearest Helen,
DeleteThank you and you both mush have enjoyed your special Las Vegas weekend so very much. Yes, there is much more to enjoy than just gamble...
Hugs,
Mariette
They feel warm and comfortable. And knitted by hand makes them special.
ReplyDeletexoxo
Dearest Cristina,
DeleteYes, they are very special to me and I love their roses!
Hugs,
Mariette
