In addition to the mountains of bills and flyers that were sitting in the mailbox when we got home on Sunday, there were some gold nuggets - Secret Pal packages!!These little guys are checking out the sock yarn that they travelled with in the Haloween package sent by my Cheap A$$ Secret Pal. I have always loved the smell of coffee, but not the taste. Now I love the colour of coffee - CTH sock yarn in the "Java" colourway! Compliments of my Blogger SP9 pal. Here's a slightly blurred (maybe I should ask for a new digital camera for Xmas) closeup of the yarny goodness:
Yesterday, I spent about 2 hours going through mail that came to the office - nothing fun about that. But when I got home, there was a package from my Spooky Secret Pal. Candy, Alaskan chocolate and Chai, And more yarny goodness! This is the CTH Fall Foliage colourway. Also a mini sock kit, and 3 sets of bamboo needles: 2mm/2.25mm/2.75mm (US 0/1/2). With several sets of sock needles, I can carry on my tradition of having more WIPs than is healthy once I start working through my ever expanding sock yarn stash.
Thanks guys!! |

Nice SP9 package. I thought you were calling your pal a cheap ass! I was think oh no,,,,,another problem to deal with :-)
Of course now I am crakingup!
Wow!!! Nice haul--those little black cats are cute!
Wow! Did you have CTH on your wishlist or something? Heh. I love knitting that stuff! It's so soft! The Anastasia socks came out great in it. And what cute little pompom kitties!
Thanks for your birthday wishes! Sigh, 29 was quite a while back for me too. Soon I am going to have to be 39 for a while. But not quite yet. I've still got a couple years left at 29 ;-)
What an awesome homecoming!
I am obviously a big CTH fan...the colours are incredible!
