A Mysterious Package

Monday night I got home from knitting and found one of the dreaded package slips in my mailbox:

"Hi, this is the Post Office, we're holding your package hostage until you come and get it. By the way, we're only open 'til 5pm!"

In the 'Sender' box it said MJ. Hmm... that's odd, why is MJ sending me mail? So I get online and harass her on IM. After her response to the first of my inquiries was "No comment." I began to get suspicious.

I asked her if she was my Sockapalooza pal and she was! Out of the bazillion people who joined she got me. Now, because she is oh-so-nice and totally nuts not only did she knit me socks for Sockapalooza, but after she found out I was her pal she still knit me late-birthday socks. What a pal!

Today I went and picked up my package before work.



She also bought yummy yarn that I haven't used yet! Ruby Sapphire. In fact, it may have been the same one that I looked at on Etsy and resisted buying. And she knit the Thirassia socks - I downloaded that chart too because I wanted to knit them after seeing them on someone's blog. She sewed me a pretty star bag to match my needle case and she made me a perfect star necklace and sent me blue yarn! And she put Trent Reznor on my sock band. ;)



And nice and close...



Thanks again, MJ!
