My secret pal rocks!

So my secret pal emailed me last week saying she was sending out a package. !!!! I left for Phoenix on Wednesday and everyday I asked D if it had come yet. Nope. Got home, waited all week, nothing. She emailed me wondering if I had gotten it yet, probably thinking i was this ungrateful biotch, or that i hated it, or something. so i went to the office today to see if anything was there, since i hadn't gotten a notice that i had a package, and there it was!!! i was soooo annoyed, but that was quickly replaced with excitement!!! Look what was in it!


There's a Summer CD from Bath & Body Works, which is awesome. Beautiful birch needles, a retractable tape measure.


These needles are painted in Russia, aren't they so pretty???


And this adorable stuffed sheep with stitch markers on his collar. I wonder if she made them...they are soo cute!

Awesome!! Turns out the office had it this whole time but I never knew about it. lame! i was so happy today tho when i got it! it's so fun to get presents in the mail! I sent my package to the girl i'm spoiling...i wonder if she got it yet! i hope she likes everything i sent!

in other news, here is a picture of a sock i made awhile ago. my very fist one ever. i used ghetto red heart neon green and size 8s. just to see if i could really get thru all the steps. it's not perfect, but it's close enough! i think i could very easily get addicted to making socks!!!




And here's my progress on the striped raglan that i'm working on. let me tell you, working a sweater in the round is sooo much better than seaming it together! however, i'm sure the weaving in of the ends will make me cry. i should have done it as i went. i think i will next time. i'm trying to convince myself to weave everything in before i start the next sleeve. we'll see.



And finally, here's a pic of the Itsy Bitsy that i finished about a month go. I have all the yarn to do the kitchen sink. I think that will be my project next week when we fly to Cali. Hopefully i'll have the sweater done by then, i'm sorta scared to try and take DPNs on the plane!!



Ok, time to clean!
