You know that whining wishing I was doing the other day? I was moaning about an empty mailbox. Way back in April I received a surprise package from the ever fabulous Kim, and I participated in the button swap. But since then I haven’t had time to give a swap my full attention ... and so my mailbox has been as dry as a desert, unless you count the bills. It seems that my friend Rox is a mind reader because the day before that post she packed a little surprise off to me that arrived today.
SOCKS!** Technically she read my mind twice (maybe three times) because I have coveted hand-knit socks since I fell in with all these knitters back in August ‘05 (holy crap! Has it been that long?). I didn’t want to break down and ask someone to make me socks for two reasons. The first being: from my vantage, knitters seem to have a love/hate relationship with socks. I’ve read blogs loving ‘toe-up’, hating ‘Kitchner’ and begging for help ‘turning the heel’. I’ve no clue what half of this means but they sound like a pain to me. The second reason is the crap circulation in my legs. I can’t wear anything that cuts off the circulation so I usually just opt for anklets. The socks Rox sent are slightly longer than anklets but are not at all tight, and honestly couldn’t fit any better than if I’d shipped her my foot.
She also sent a very neat bracelet that is reminiscent of woven rattan but is acutally super soft, stretchy fabric.
And this nifty book that I should have had two weeks ago when D tossed out his last remaining 80’s concert T-shirts. It is packed with suggestions for re-fabricating old t-shirts into new things (I see a trip to Goodwill in my future).
Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you! And my not so lonely anymore mailbox thanks you too!
** Rox, I know you said this is from yarn I sent you a while back ... please, please, please don’t tell me you squandered that $30 skein of Cherry Hill on my feet!!!
