Crazy for Season's Sock Club

I received the sock yarn for the club, called Slip into Spring. Its lovely, but with Sock Madness, I'll have to wait a little while before casting on.

Wow!!

When I arrived home last night, I had a package waiting to be opened...It was from Heather, my SP 10 Pal. She sent 9 skeins of yarn, a pattern book, note cards, lavender essential oil, bunny salt & pepper shakers, a fir scented sachet, a set of handmade stitch markers a basket and 2 teas. All I can say is, "Wow!" She did a great job. I'm already planning a new project. Of course that's not difficult for me when I have just received so much yarn all at once! I'll probably use the CottonFine to cast on for July's Sockamania pattern. I've been wanting to go sock yarn shopping so that I could start the pattern, but had to wait to have some money for this purpose! Heather saved the day!

A Package!!

I left work early, today, as my shoulder is causing me quite a bit of pain...I'm not quite sure what I may have done to injure it, but it sure hurt! (Yesterday, I was home from work and could not even knit most of the day because of the pain...) When I arrived home, there was a medium sized box waiting!! I knew I hadn't ordered anything, so I was hoping it was from my Secret Pal. IT WAS!! My dh brought the box in & set it on the counter where I could open it. She enclosed 3 skeins of yarn, 2 kinds of dried fruit, some blueberry tea (mmm), cat food (which I'm sure one of my kitties will love!), a scrapbook, and a sock knitting book that I've been wanting for a while, now. Wow, what a great package. I can hardly wait for my shoulder to heal so that I can start another new project!! My biggest problem will be deciding what to knit. Do I start some socks with a yarn from my stash, or do I use the new yarn and look for a new pattern? As it will take the shoulder a week to heal, I do have time to decide.
