Fun, fun, fun!!! And your sock is gorgeous---I'm lovin' that colorway. I *do* hope you're wearin' that sock, sunshine!
xoxoxo

Three cheers for August birthdays! Mine's the 20th and I never got to wear the crown or bring the birthday snack to school either. Have a happy birthday. And good for you waiting to open the package :)

I hear you, I am a summer baby, too. Sigh.

Beautiful colourway on those socks - they're looking great!

I'm not sure, but I *think* I got the same colorway at Webs. I looked at two that were very similar to each other, and said "Which of these looks most like Sandy's sock?" :-)

Meanwhile, I have been trying to get in touch with you about accommodations for Rhinebeck, but I think I may have ended up in your spam filter! Would you please let me know where you're staying, so I can try to get a room at the same place? Thanks! :-)

Happy early birthday! My birthday is Aug. 24th. No school birthday crown for me either. I can't wait to open packages. That box would have been open the minute I received it.

A package is way better than a crown! Although a tiara would be nice...

I was a July Birthday, so all of those summer birthday kids got paraded together and sung to en masse. Just wasn't the same! And my half birthday is New Years Day. Ah well, I got pool parties for my birthday.

I would wait too.

Ohhh...all that anticipation!! That's 99% of the fun!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! I love the sock and DON'T paint the porch....look at Country Living Magazine....some of those folks pay big bucks to get that shabby chic look!! I LOVE the sock, especially those gorgeous fall colors!! Hate to sound stupid...but hey....I Yam what I Yam....but is Meleinweit Colortweed the name of the yarn or the pattern?? Would love to find some self striping yarn like this!!

Happy Early B'day - My b'day is the 26th, and I, like you, was never able to bring b'day cupcakes to school! The horror. (We shall not speak of the zuchini bread b'day cake I had for my 8th b'day).

Happy early Birthday! You are so much better than I! I could never wait...even with Christmas presents...awful...just awful...nope, I have no restraint when it comes to things like that! :) Love the socks and the colors.

Hehe-you're good.

Pulling up a seat to watch you open your package WITH your crown on- ummm...when will that be?

Oooh, I didn't look at all the August B-day ladies' blogs or I would've KNOWN that we share the birthday month!

I just had mine, and my pal was SUPERB! Some friends of ours used to have trouble about getting together on "the" day for b-days and annivesaries, so we instituted the "Birthday Radius". It can stretch as far before or after THE day as you need it to in order to celebrate with the people you choose.

So wait on that box until YOU want to open it--it's YOUR day! Have a great one!

Very lovely socks...but did you like the color? (wink) I sure did. Ooh, lucky you, what's in the box?

Oh, nice sock! I'm going to have to keep that yarn in mind. I like to wait until my birthday to open packages too.

Ilove your Meilenweit sock! That color is so much fun. And I know exactly what you mean! I was a holiday break baby and it was all about savoring your birthday when you finally got to it. Happy pre-bday!

*anticipation*

The Meilenweit sock is really cool!

Yay for August birthdays! I never got to wear the birthday crown either. Can't wait to see what's in your box! :)

Love the sock. Heh, in my feeble brain (2-1/2 hrs sitting in an overcrowded pediatric office today waiting for my daughter's school physical while her Dr was 1hr and 40 min behind schedule!!! about did me in), I read Colort Weed instead of Color Tweed and spent a few seconds trying to resurrect enough German to figure out what "colort" could possibly mean. I'll bet if you dropped enough hints, someone who lives close by would go get a Burger King crown and spray paint it gold and stick on some huge "jewels" from Michaels. I would if I lived close by. (HINT HINT NE knitters!!) PS- My daughter has a summer b-day so we always celebrated her 1/2 b-day in mid-Jan so she could wear the b-day crown (it was actually her kindergarten teacher's idea) and in the summer she got the cool outdoor slip-n-slide and pool party with popsicles and an ice cream cake.

You are SO STRONG. And you gave me heart failure because I thought I had missed your birthday. Phew.

Love your socks. I have a summer birthday too and I feel your pain. I always wanted a Fall birthday so that I could bring cupcakes to school.

Such restraint! I don't think I'd be able to wait! Great socks.

Oh. Were we supposed to wait to open our packages? Because I totally didn't.

Me too on the crown-lust. One year -- just ONE YEAR -- I had a teacher who held celebrations in June for the July and August kids, and it was everything I'd dreamed it would be and more. I still have the crown.

Well it's a good thing that today isn't your birthday, b/c you definitely need some time to make yourself a crown! (At my daughter's school they let the kids w/ summer bdays pick a day during the year to celebrate.)

I used to be a 4-year-old preschool teacher (now I'm a teacher of infants) and I always let the summer birthday children pick a time in the fall to celebrate their special day. I would have TOTALLY let you wear a birthday crown.

I think a package birthday deserves a crown.

ooh a package. when is the day? i'm with you by the way. i don't open packages ahead of time either. drives people in my life crazy that i can wait that long.

i wouldn't have gotten the crown either -- my birthday usually came after the beginning of christmas break. and then i got birthday/christmas presents. blech

How exciting! Now you've got us all waiting with you.
