CHESS SOCKS!!!

Look at what doublebass made for me! She knitted me socks! Very special socks! Chess socks!!! Chess socks are the best socks!

They even have the letters from A to H and the numbers from 1 to 8!

And KING BUTTONS! Made from FIMO! I simply have to show a close-up of the kings...

The attention to detail is incredible. I'm in awe.

(There's a grey king, too, but it's glued to the accompanying card, and I'm obviously not posting that. I appreciate it all the same!)

...okay, I'm crying. Just thinking of knitting - I love all kinds of craft, but knitting is one of the things I'm just not able to do, and I regret that fact. I'd love to be able to make stuff like this! (Note: please don't link me any "beginner-friendly" tutorials. I know how this is theoretically supposed to work! It's just that knitting offers infinite opportunities to miscount and to confuse left and right. I suspect it's the world's least-dyscalculia-friendly activity, and the one thing I've never been able to compensate for. Uni level math is easy in comparison! XD) So I'm just the tiniest bit jealous of that skill.

Needless to say, I'm super happy about having chess socks now! :D I was very surprised by that fat envelope in the mail, like, I wasn't expecting mail from doublebass at all, but... then I unpacked these. WHEEEEE! I mean... Does it get any more awesome? XD

NEVER AGAIN cold feet when playing online chess! ;)
