1. I was gifted! The lovely Karen sent me a pressie! Just for participating in her KAL! Wow! Here it is:
I am so excited - sock yarn (in and of itself a big woo hoo!) in some great colors, from a source I haven't used yet (seriously, it is one of about 5 yarns from Knitpicks I haven't used!)! I'm so excited - I almost ordered this for myself yesterday!
And how generous is Karen? I believe that she sent each participant a goodie! Wowzers! Thanks Karen!
2. I saw this over at Chris's blog and I couldn't resist.

3. Aren't my babies cute? They are so sweet when they don't attack each other (OK, really, the dogs attack the cat).

What an awesome package from Karen! She's such a sweetie and so generous, too. Can't wait to see the awesome socks you knit up with your new yarn! And your duo is so cute. Even though the dog sometimes attacks the cat (!;-)), they look so sweet and innocent in that pic. Take care, Jenn! :-)
ReplyDeleteNice sock yarn! I've had my eye on that colorway.
ReplyDeleteFun meme. I did it, too, here.
