Presents in the mail......

I opened the mailbox the other day and what did I find but a package addressed to me! Inside the package was this ....

Yippeee! Sock yarn. Socks too!!! Irishgirlieknits sent me the most beautiful skeins of Socks That Rock, three whole skeins! (One was already wound, so that is already on needles!!!) There was also another skein of sock yarn, a pair of circular needles, several samples of sock soak soap, and a brand new pair of socks for me! You may also see some of Irishgirlieknits moo cards peeking out too. What an awesome box of goodies! She is so good to me! Thank you so much!!!!!

My Gold Medal!

To justify sitting on my butt for 2+ weeks while watching the Olympic Games, I set a goal to complete this pair of Ampersand socks. I cast on and started during the Opening Ceremonies, I finished up during the US Men's Water Polo Silver Medal game. Before the closing ceremonies! For me that's Gold! I am excited that this pair fits! This yarn was purchased from Woolgirl. Thanks again Jen! I was a bit annoyed with the ways the colors pooled and came out. Yes, this is from one skein of yarn! One looks lighter pink, the other darker pink. I guess that makes them totally unique! What a thrill the Olympics have been! Go USA!!!
