Surprise Mail Rocks

In the past two days I have received all sorts of fun stuff in the mail. All surprise. First Nadia sent me 3 mix cd's, and awesome Christmas card she goccoed herself, along with these two cute guys:

Little doxies. I don't think that she knew I collected these, of all different kinds. I am not one for anything clutter, but I do love me some kitsch doxies. Nadia thanks so much! I am so glad to see you blogging again!

Then yesterday I had a package waiting for me. From Christine, a fellow dachshund lover and owner. Go see Bella and  Ben they are pretty darn cute. She sent me some very cute dachshund ornaments. All in the likeness of my Vito! Yay little doxies for the tree (ok so I don't have a tree...shhh, remember i am leaving Thursday) but I think they need to be displayed all freaken year.

And she sent me, some SOCKS THAT ROCK yarn.

Oh, my freaken heck. I have coveted this yarn and look now I have some! I am so excited I want to drop everything including packing and stay up all night and knit me some socks. This yarn is really as amazing as everyone says it is! So soft and pretty. Really I am not sure if I can wait, maybe I can cast on now. Christine, thanks so much I am so excited! Kisses to Bella and Ben!

I am done with my knitted gifts, so I decided to knit myself up some fingerless gloves. Because I have some cold hands.

This is some bulky handspun, I bought at Village Spinning and Weaving. I think it is something the make there themselves. I am not really sure how many yards I have all together, so I am knitting them both at the same time. I am almost to the thumb gusset so I am sure I will have enough yarn to finish. I am hoping to have them done buy tomorrow.  I want to try and a work in progress post tomorrow, but we shall see. I also have to take a picture of my knitted gifts before I wrap them up.

 

P.S. What socks should I knit with my new Socks That Rocks, just remember the lovely Jaywalkers don't work on me.

Glad you like the doxies and the STR.......The last socks that I made with STR were great - the diagnonal rib ones, designed by Ann Budd, and on the freebie section of the Interweave Knits website......Enjoy and Happy holidays! (we don't have a tree either...yet)

Oh, I covet the Socks That Rock! There's a pattern in the current Knitty that looks like fish scales that might be cool. I'm working on the Falling Leaves socks from the Fall 05 Knitty (in Koigu), and I'm loving how they look. No pics on my blog yet, alas.

Have fun!

Oooo - I'm so glad you like your treats. It was about time on my part!

And I've been eyeing the spearfish pattern (http://designedlykristi.com/shoppingcart/product_info.php?products_id=65 even though you'd have to pay, it looks fun.
