yeay!

so my sockpal got her socks today. i have a new respect for the ups store i just mailed those puppie sout monday morning. wow!

my sockpal was patty. in connecticut. and she told me in an email this morning that she loves the socks. score! and now i can tell you all that when the exchange first started i had about 4 inches done on the socks and there was an update on the blue blog saying what sock people were kitting, and i almost died. because the photo patty had posted for the socks she was going to make for her pal were almost the same socks i was making. similar colors and pattern. too funny huh. i went ahead and made them though cause well...you knit what you like right? anyway. i just had to share. it has been a ton of fun knitting for patty and waiting for her to receive the package. its kinda sad its all over now :(

except i haven't seen my socks yet so i'm still excited about that :)

oh and believe it or not with all i have to get done before i leave for italy and with graduation and all, i offered to be a sock savior. yes i am insane! we shall see if i am picked. if not i have some gorgeous mountain colors that i'll just have to keep for myself :)

hogwarts sock swap (year 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...
