I got goodies from Tink, my SP and from my Sock Swap Pal Petra!!
*warning, Picture heavy post!!*
So first let's talk about the swap from Petra. She lives in Sweden, so we decided to do a yarn swap in addition to a sock swap.
Upon receiving hte package I ripped it open and actually remembered to take a picture:
I laid everything out:
then ripped everything open. I got some Evilla Artyarn which I have been DYING to try. For like a year, seriously. I am so excited to have this in my hot little hands:
That is the rainbow colorway. I also got some Jitterbug that I have been totally jonesing for:
This color is so amazingly gorgeous.
And finally the pies de resistance:
The absolutely most beautiful socks I have ever seen in my life. No joke.
They fit like a glove. I am so impressed, they are absolutely perfect in every way.
So then I also received a package from Tinkerbell, my AWESOME SP.
How exciting is that picture??
Look at all that cotton? I am so excited, I have been wanting to try the peaches and cream, because all I have ever used is the sugar and cream, but this stuff is SO much softer then the sugar and cream.
It is so hot, I am thinking about casting on a dishcloth tonight actually!!
Missing from that photo is the chocolate that little C stole and ran off with.
So thank you so much ladies!! You totally made my week!!

Socks, Yarn and a Sweater!!
So I finished my Sock Pal's Socks!! They are Coupling from the latest knitty. All in all a very enjoyable knit, though I did get SSS and had to take a 2 week break between socks. They are now all clean and blocked, and as soon as I pack up the box, I will be sending them off to Sweden!!
Petra, if you want to be surprised, don't look any further!!
Pattern: Coupling from Summer 2007 Knitty
Yarn: Fleece Artist Merino Sock in a blue color I don't know the actual colorway
Needles: Size 1.5 KP circulars
Start: July 2007
Finished: August 2007
Also, I am getting better at this yarn thing:
And I finished the Tulip Baby Sweater!
