Socks and Mail
Well, the rainbow sock is finished which brings my sock count up to 90 pairs total, and gets rid of that pesky 1/2. Not too long to go til 100!
Yesterday I went to the post office and picked up a couple of packages, and then got home to find another waiting for me - a very good yarny mail day.
First off, my final SP9 package from my amazing pal jochibi:
I was lucky enough to meet her this spring at Maryland Sheep & Wool along with a bunch of other knittyheads, so when she told me we had met it wasn't *too* much of a clue. She sent some beautiful Socks That Rock in the Space Dust colorway, which was my camp name. She also sent emergency chocolate, a cute fish bath fizzy, honey to go with the myriad of different kinds of chai that she has added to my collection, some more chai, Werther's Original candies that are a little different from the normal ones, and come nice hand lotion.
Thanks jochibi for being such a great pal! :)
Now on to some other mail...
I got my latest Yarntini club shipment:
With some orange, but actually quite pretty yarn, orange lip balm, and one of those nifty little DPN holders.
I also got some Wollmeise via a swap with Peachy:
The colors are Veilchen (violet, like the flower) and Mitternacht (midnight).

Oooo I want the violet. Why is it that german sock yarn is so lovely?
I'm glad it arrived safe and sound. I forgot to mention in my note that the honey comes from our backyard! My FIL is a beekeeper.
Wow, you'd never guess that sock had been undergone surgery! Great job!
That orange Yarntini is fabulous! Even if it's not blue. ;)
Oooooh - do you think you can knock out another 10 pairs before the end of October???? I have a feeling my guess is going to be close, but not quite there.
Oooh woolmeise! Luck you! I've always wanted to try some!
