Nothing pulls you out of a blogging slump like getting a package in the mail. Whew! Thanks, Susan!
I won’t go into the details but I’ll just say that I wasn’t having a very good day when I pulled into the driveway and saw the package. My first thought was, “what did I buy this time!?!” As I opened the package, it became obvious what it was.
My Hogwarts Sock Swap 3 package!! My pal, Lavendar Kadavra (aka Susan), sent me socks from a pattern she wrote herself (seen top left), the best stitch markers (better picture below), lots of HP candy, a kitty notebook and stickers, some HP trading cards and Knitpick needles!! SCORE!!
The socks really are great. I believe that she handdyed the yarn as well as wrote the pattern, so WOW! The yarn really is so very soft and it has this shine to it like it has tencel or silk in it.
And this is just the best bit…little tongues on my “snake socks.”
And I had to show you an upclose of the stitch markers. Aren’t they perfect?!?
Thank you, again, Susan for such a wonderful package!!
And where, do you ask, am I with sending my package out?!? Oh, well, I won’t give too much away but I will say that I have contacted my pal to let her know that they won’t make it by the deadline.
I mean, would you wake her up????
Wow! What a fantastic package and socks from your pal! I like that Dobby (I think so?) card or picture, very cute! : )
Awww! The snake tongues are wickedly clever.
How exciting! I just love the transformative power of mail…
How nice to receive a fun package! Love the tongues on the toes.
Nope, I wouldn’t wake the kitty either.
ooh oooh oooh there are my/your socks right on your blog. I am thrilled. Yes, the socks are 50% superwash merino and 50% tencel and they were dyed just for you.
I wouldn’t wake the kitty either but maybe you could slip the socks out very very slowly from underneath.
And I am even more thrilled that you are so happy with them and the bit of fun on them too.
Namaste, Susan
