I am just delighted with these socks! First time ever purchasing the Socksmith brand and I figured they'd be just like all the other patterned novelty socks you see in the stores. But these are much better quality. The strawberries are very nicely rendered (I'm including a closeup photo), the fabric is soft and stretchy, and best of all you can stretch them horizontally without getting those unattractive white bits between the ribs that you see on most printed patterns and many jacquard-knit patterns. I will definitely be buying more of this brand, they'll make great gifts, and they have so many different motifs that you can make a "theme package" customized to the recipient.
