Mail Call
More sock yarn has come in the mail, as I alluded yesterday. Today I got my half of a swap with the lovely Javede. She sent me some German sock yarn (the one on the right is from the supermarket, can you imagine?) The Jaywalker on the left is one she abandoned and offered up to someone who would finish it. I offered to take it, and then figured since she was sending me the sock all the way from Germany we might as well make it worth her while and make it a swap.
I'm also very interested in the little white chocolates with what looks like nuts inside, and marzipan is my favorite!
I got my October package from the Rockin' Sock Club today too! There's a picture of the yarn here, to avoid spoiling it for anyone that hasn't received their package yet.
I also finally realized that if I ever want all my crazy varigated and handdyed sock yarn to get knit up I have to realize that knitting plain stockinette socks is ok. I actually don't mind doing it, but I just feel like I should have a pattern for all my socks.

Gorgeous new yarn! I'm so glad I signed up for the 2007 round.
And I love the new blog format!
Ooo, everything looks good. That purple package is Milka- an excellent brand. I wish they'd send more of it here!
Mmmmm...marzipan...
Glad you like the yarn!
I just came home to find...
...a note from the postman. I'll have to pick up a package-I presume yours-tomorrow after lectures. Actually have no idea what's in the round choclate ones, they seem to be new.
Love the new blog look!
And, dang. I wish I could buy sock yarn at the supermarket! How cool!
(Or maybe I'd go broke that way...)
How cool is that - buying yarn at the grocery!
That is a good point about stockinette socks. I've always stuggled with pattern vs. speed.
Yummy new yarn! I got some too, time to get knitting! Can you send me the name of the store for the Lorna's Laces deal? You told me on Sunday, btu I forgot to write it down. Thanks!
