My final Secret Pal 8 package arrived from my amazing, wonderful, very cool pal. (Mine got to my pal, as well...)
Schroedinger, you are wonderful. Would you all like to see the many ways in which she spoiled me? Well, it's my blog, so, you're going to see it whether you want to or not ;-)
Exhibit A: Hand dyed sock yarn for me to make my first ever pair of socks. Dyed for me by Schroedinger, in, of course, my favorite color. Ahhhh... I adore it!
Exhibit B: She knew I wanted to try my hand at socks, so, along with the amazing just-for-Sam yarn, she sent needles and a how-to book!
Exhibit C: here is where she outdid herself. Just for my toes, again, in hand dyed yarn, my first ever pair of hand knit socks! My feet are luxuriating in them now, thanks to a weather change that has finally made it possible to enjoy socks again... Wow! Take a look- they are wonderfully cabled and simply perfect.
Ahhhhh... Now that I have worn my first pair of hand knit socks, I am more eager than ever to try them myself. Stay tuned for that.
Meanwhile, I have a rush quilting project to start tonight- a "3 favorite things" quilt for Train Boy's 3rd birthday on 9/13. Details tomorrow, but for now, I must cut many 6.5 inch squares.
