so i just had to send an update. here are the finished sock totes. one (left) is a bit taller to accomodate 2 balls for 2 at once sock knitting. the other is perfect for the second sock when you're down to next to no yarn! all from 2 flat quarters and half a spool of ribbon! too much fun. i'll be looking around for other fantastic fabric. i'd like to send a sock tote to my sockpal. see there's her sock hiding in tote # 1.

yup. thats right i've sent off my swap package for hogwarts sock swap ...unfortunately via muggle post. sigh. have i ever told you how much i hate the post office? apparently the box i was recycling from starbucks wasn't good enough and i had to repack the goodies at the post office into a priortiy box at wich point they couldn't find me any tape so they made me use the priority mail tape but i couldn't tape up the box the guy did it for me so he went around the box 3 different ways. he taped my scribbled address onto the box from my notes sheet. wouldn't le tme go get alabe or anything and half the address got covered by priority mail tape but its fine...what? anyhoo. i hoep it gets where it is supposed to go. i'll be blogstalking to make sure it does :) what was in said oddly taped package you say? well... socks of course. bertie botts. plus regular and sour flavored beans. some dark chocolate for the witch or wizard with more evil tastes. cow tal...
