Be wary of "snipers". They are on my watch list; but I'll be nice

and not bid against you.

Indeed. I just washed them in the machine with everything else and they held their shape perfectly!

Despite what I said I would do, I threw a low-ball bid in any ways, not expecting to win. After the auction ended, I received a "second chance" offer at a lower price than I had bid. Couldn't pass it up. They arrived in my mail box yesterday.

I'm quite pleased. Although they seem a tad dark for a lovat blue, they do accentuate the blue in my Douglas Modern that I have them paired with as I type this. I added the seller as one of my favorites and will continue to check her offerings from time to time. As posted previously, they are not hand knit; but for inexpensive, they will work just fine.

Mine haven't arrived yet. Maybe tomorrow...

I was watching the sale 'til the very end, but it seems that there were more than one pair available.

Those look nice! I've got a bid on the green ones on the US eBay.

...this just in from our roving reporter...

The hose arrived Saturday, and they're almost navy blue, not lovat. It's a pretty shade of blue, and I'm keeping the hose, but they're not what I expected.

We now return you to whatever you were doing.
