They're Multiplying...

I made another pair of the fastest socks pattern. ;P This is an adult size. I think I might be crocheting too loose on this pattern for some reason. It seemed perfect for the child size, at least it fits our six year old perfectly. I think in the back of my mind I'm thinking 'This is a sock it's not amigurumi. It's supposed to be soft...' Well this sock will fit probably a size 13 foot. It measures 12.5 inches long. I will send it anyway. I know someone has to have size 13 shoes. My Dad does! My husband and 16 year old both wear a size 10 shoe. Now I am working on a pair like these socks, but in grey. Same pattern. Those were the last ones I made from this pattern, too.

I got my 'Cabin Fever Swap' package yesterday!! It was weird, I was at the kitchen table with the six year old. I saw a UPS truck on the road behind our house. I said 'Look, there's a UPS truck. Maybe we'll get a box today.' :0!!!! We DID get a box!! Not from the UPS truck; from the USPS truck. But still. ;P Look what Jennifer sent me! Everything was wrapped up so nice, I got to open a bunch of presents. (Course I don't think *I* opened a single one, the kids opened them all *for* me...) ;) LOOK at this gorgeous yarn, I love it. The weight, the color, the feel... It's Berocco Comfort. I have never tried any of Berocco's yarns, I don't think. I don't know what I will make with it, but whatever it is (probably a pair of socks!) will be for ME. :-D She also sent me some beautiful Brittany size 7 dpns. I didn't have that size, and I LOVE using wooden or bamboo dpns. (I have never had brittany's before, I usually buy bamboo or 'ivory') Since regular dpns hurt my hands. And some gorgeous beaded stitch markers! This is my favorite thing lately, I have quite a little collection now!! (She sent FIVE of them!!)

And, a new 'quickie' sock pattern (to try out my new brittanys with!!). I was SO tempted to start a pair right then and there. But I already have four pairs of socks going. Yes, four. Well, technically, three now (see above). And one is a pair of sockies that I ran out of yarn for. :( So, really only two pairs.... ANYWAY~~~~ I can't wait to try out this quickie pattern! She also sent me the YUMMIEST 'Snickerdoodle' candle. I have it sitting next to me right here, I love the way it smells. I lit it yesterday for a little bit. I don't want to ruin it. And the cutest 'knitting' card. I love that. I have the hardest time finding any notecards with knitting on them. The last time I found some was at Michaels, I think-- YEARS ago, and I haven't seen any since...

Thanks so much Jennifer, I love it all. *Hugs*!!!
