Socks That Rocks Over Cable

Hi! Just wanna pop in and show you what I am doing with my "Socks that Rocks" Meghann gave me! :0)

The project on my Ravelry here.

My blogg here.

Karma

Just wanted to give a big "THANKS!" to Sandi, aka Twiggi34. She was my buddy that I gifted earlier in the swap. When she discovered that I hadn't yet received a package she sent me one (in addition to the one she sent her assigned pal). Sandi sent me some great yarn that I can't wait to knit with; I have already picked out a pattern for one of the yarns. There were plenty of other little goodies that made me smile.

An update!

Hi everyone!

Things are starting to get back to normal here so I thought I would give you an update......

...............I am preparing two lists:

The first, and most important, a list of those who have yet to receive anything from their partner...............and I will set about making sure they receive a package of goodies as soon as possible.

Thank you very much all of those kind souls who have offered to be angels. If I can I would like to angel as many packages as possible as I was the one who started the swap but if that is not possible your assistance will be greatly appreciated!

The second list is of all of those who flaked out - didn't bother to send anything to their partner but in many cases received a lovely package themselves..............they will be banned from all further activity and swaps. And other swap organisers read this blog and email me so I will be able to let them know who flaked out in this case.

I have ordered some yarn to dye up especially for those yet to receive anything and I am aiming to make it an extra special batch! Will keep you posted.

one sock done

Here is sock #1. It's "Mother Lode" by Lorna's Laces-Shepard Sock. The pattern is "Dublin Bay" by Mossy Cottage. I'm 1/3 done with Sock # 2 but I thought I'd show off. Thank you Toothfairy!!! Can't wait to see other's projects!!!

World's weirdest request

I know some of the yarns we received will be stashed for all eternity, and others may be re-gifted to friends, and other still may become things other than socks. But I was thinking, it would be neat if we each posted photos of the things we made out of our global sock-knitters yarn, if and when we do finally get around to making something out of it, since the blog doesn't ever expire.

If I ever get around to making something from my yarn, I certainly will post photos!

I got my package

Yesterday, this lovely package was waiting for me in the mail!

Sockyarn, recipes for socks, a miniature sock blocker, a nice little purse, really cute mask markers and som delicious chocolate pearls was inside!

Thankyou so much, B!

Hi.....sorry I have been away.....

Hi Guys,

Sorry I have been absent of late. There has been some serious problems at home that have taken up most of my time but I have not forgotten you all!

I know there are still some people waiting on their packages and decided to give it a couple more weeks to see if it was just a sluggish postal system to blame or that some people were snowed under and had actually received their packages but had not had chance to post about them.

However, I do think that enough time has passed to allow for postal delays and I am going to start chasing up the missing packages.

Most of you have been great and posted when you have recieved your package to just to be sure I am going to contact everyone taking part in the swap this week to check their situation.

I hope this helps!
