Socks #92 and great swap packages!

Real life has been extremely busy lately, but I've gotten a couple of packages that I should share and finished some socks.

Socks #91 are a gift and won't be shown for a bit, but socks #92 aren't secret:



Pattern: Chevron from Sensational Knitted Socks
Yarn: Regia Crazy Colors 6-ply
Started: 6/19/07
Finished: 9/30/07

I started these back during the Secret Solstice sock disaster, but I put them down pretty much entirely after that. I needed a simple and public knit the other day and picked them back up, and now they're done!

Now for the swap packages...

First off, I got a beautiful pair of socks and some other goodies from Suemoon in the Knittyboard Sock Exchange Part Deux (or KBSX2 for short):



The socks are Monkeys (my first although I've knit some) and she sent me a cute sheepy bag and some yummy chocolate from afar. I also *almost* knit Monkeys for her, but luckily I didn't!

And the other swap package I got was from a Ravely swap entitled Rock Out with Your Socks Out:



My amazing pal, Lisa, even had some Ruby Sapphire yarn custom dyed for me in my fave colors and named after me!



That's me in yarn form, alright!

Thanks so much to both of my pals! Hopefully I'll get a little more knitting and blogging time this week - I've even started my Rhinebeck sweater.
