Knitting in pink

I had a great surprise waiting for me at the post office today, my Sockapalooza socks. A few weeks ago I found out that my pal had sent me a package, which had never seemed to make it to my post office. She kindly offered to send me another pair that she had knit and put together another package together for me. She sent me an awesome package and am not sorry to have had to wait. I would love to link to her blog but my pal doesn't have a blog.

My pal Emily treated me to some awesome cable socks that fit great. They're thicker and taller than the usual sock I make so will be nice and toasty this winter. I bought some boots a few days ago that they will go great with. I guess I'll have to take a picture of that for you!

Enough talking, here are the pictures:

She also sent me lots of goodies:



A candle in a cute little tin box, a little bag of moth repellent, soap from River Soap Company called Eve's Flower that smells like lavender and yummy yarn. The yarn is from left: Zen Yarn Garden Merino/Tencel in Purly Gates and Vesper in Neapolitan. You can click on the picture, as always, to see it bigger. I adore the card she used, I'd love to find out where I can get a hold of them. They're labeled ""Ewe Knits Series", an illustrated glossary of knitting stitches by Heather Hill Studio and Bonnie Magee". If anyone knows, I'd love to know too! : )

Thank you Emily!

While I try to catch up to everything after my trip to New York City, I'll leave you with a few pictures of the yarn purchases I made.

Karabella Lace Merino from School Products, Habu Textiles 100% Cashmere laceweight, Habu Textiles Wool/Stainless Steel laceweight from Habu Textiles

I guess there was a theme to my purchases, although I didn't realize it until just now.

Tomorrow I'm off for New York City.
