Over the Moon with the second swap box TOO

By -
Well, the other swap box arrived yesterday. Look at all that tape holding it together. Fireman couldn't believe it when he opened it for me. He practically jumped back when the yarn started flying out......
You are all amazing and generous people. This box too, was overstuffed with wonderful knitterly things. Books: Knit2together by Ullma and Clark, the newest Interweave Magazine, and Knitting Patterns by Melissa volume one Babies to Toddlers. Yarny goodness including Tuesday Night Cowl package with classic Elite WINGS yarn in a soft periwinkle that I adore. A little sewing kit which I desperately needed. Labels that are pink and precious .

Marguerite knitted these socks for me knowing she was last and they would get to me! Oh M, you really are wonderful. I love the socks. The little green elf or doll is adorable....who knit that one?

And as if I wasn't spoiled enough, Grace sent me another gift: this great headband came with her kitty blanket donations.

I will be highlighting more things that arrived in both boxes. Truly, I want to thank each and everyone of you for playing Take and Replace. I was nervous about everyone being happy and the boxes not getting lost in the wild winter weather and all.....
and it all turned out really amazing.

Thanks!

I WOULD LOVE YOU TO LEAVE A COMMENT>

LOVE those socks! I'm so glad you're getting spoiled. I need to knit again... I need to finish that baby blanket so I can knit me an ear/hair/headband for these walks the fur-girls are demanding.

Hi Kathy~ I made the little green gnome, just thought I would add a little whimsy to the swap! Also glad you liked the malabrigo chunky~one of my favorites and I too am enjoying my copy of Interweave Knits. The swap was so much fun, I felt like a kid on Christmas morning opening the box. I was really worried that I had not put enough tape on the box when I sent it off to Marguerite, glad to see it arrived in one piece!!!

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
