Just what I needed!
More sock yarn! Oh how I love sock yarn! Thank you so much, Manda, for being an awesome secret pal! I'll be thinking of you everytime I wear one of the pairs of socks I knit from your yarn. Yes, today the mailman knocked on my door at 9:30 a.m. to deliver my final gift. Normally, waking me up in the morning is punishable by death, but for gifts, I'll drag my ass up. In the box was 2 skeins of Lorna's Laces in the Baltic Sea colorway and Sundara sock yarn in the Black Lagoon colorway.
On top of that, I the first Yarn Harlot book. I know, I know, I'm about the only knitter that DIDN'T have it. But I read her blog, so there! Plus a set of darning needles and coiled needle holders! What a great round of Secret Pal!
Speaking of Sock knitting, I'm working on the Pomatomas socks from knitty with my fleece artist yarn. This is after I had knit nearly an entire Fancy Silk Sock from the Vintage Socks book with my Cherry Tree Hill supersock, only to learn my calves are too big. I had to rip out the whole thing. I was so disappointed that I had to start something else. I'm going to pick them up again, and just shorted the cuff the next time. But let's focus on the positive:
My little family has a new addition to it. I'd like you to meet Tilly. She's my Babe Peddle Pusher wheel. After getting use to Eileithyia, my Traveller, this bobbin driven girl is definately different. Of course, she'll suit her purpose of being a wheel I can take out with me and not worry about getting damaged.
I'm currently working on a new layout for the page. Just a warning... I tried not to alienate the 800x600 resolution people, but I can't do it anymore. I've got some great idea, and I'm working on the graphics and coding, so I can't let this hold me back. Just wait... the new layout will be coming around the end of May!
