This lack of communication among my toys tools is bumming me out. I really want to show you pictures of my Sockapalooooza socks on my feet. My pal had e-mailed me that she would be late with them, but that I’d understand why when she revealed herself. Well, this week, Dani’s lovely Monkeys arrived with a packet of S.O.A.K. and a skein of her own hand dyed in shades of black and gray. She got married this summer, too, and had a glamorous honeymoon trip in Belize. The socks and yarn and sweet note were more than worth the wait! Thanks, Dani!
But wait, there was more good mail this weekend. Remember back in May when Erin directed her generosity towards me? The first installment of her yarn club arrived, along with an adorable "We Rock the Dyepot" tote. The colors of this yarn, "jewel", are so rich and yummy that I’m going to wind the skein into a cake and start a shawl with it today. It’s too wonderful for my feet!
I feel pretty lucky to have had so much wonderfulness head my way in one week. After my SnB debacle, in which I knit a whole lot before checking my gauge and had to rip out the start of the Cozy V-neck Pullover and now I’m doing gauge swatches, but may have to knit on 15s to make gauge (ok, I’m exaggerating, but just a little), these fantastic treats help me to keep my head on straight.
Cough*twentycommentstogo* cough.
Speaking of socks, have you perhaps come across a pattern that might be good for a first-timer? I want to give socks a shot, but so many of the patterns are so intimidating…
(Yeah, it’s mostly just an excuse to comment, but can you blame me? 😉 )
My camera stopped working..oh probably more than a month ago. It actually made me stop blogging, which i suppose is crazy. The aperture won’t open and there’s no way we can buy another one for a few months. OH,and of course it happened 3 weeks after the guarantee thingy was finished….
The cell phone has a camera; i guess i’m going to be reduced to using it as i have actually done *knitting* 🙂
Good luck to everyone with the contest!
I have some sock yarn way too beautiful for mt feet, as well. I was thinking a mini-clapotis.
