MrsPao sent me a lovely little package:

Flying Saucers – Wafer type candies filled with those round sprinkles you put on cupcakes. These used to be one of my FAVORITE candies when I was a kid.
A chocolate, orange and truffle chocolate bar. Frankly it’s lucky it made it into the photo shoot.
A bag of fruit sherbets.
Two adorable beaded trinket boxes. (I love boxes. All shapes and colors and sizes.)
An adorable embroidered little sewing needle holder. Did you make her yourself?
A bracelet that is not pictured cause it was on my wrist at the time.
3 balls of Debbie Bliss Cotton/Angora that is soooooo soft.
And an awesome container of chocolates shaped like spiders, maggots and worms.

Thanks MrsPao!
The Hufflepuff sock for my swap pal is coming along nicely. I hope to have the second one cast on by Monday.

I spent a good amount of my knitting time over the past two weeks working on a corner to corner baby blanket for a woman at my Dad’s work who is due any day now. The shower was this past Monday and I just finished in time. Here’s the blanket in all of it’s gender neutral yellow glory:

As I worked mainly on it during intermission at hockey games, it seemed only fitting that Skates model it. Here’s hoping the baby who will be using it is cuter and a bit less hairy.

Everyone seemed to dismayed by my utter lack of shoes. It’s true though, I only own 3 pairs…

Hee hee. I like your sandals. And your package...Whoa! How cool is that!
Oh by the way, before I send out your good package...do you like coffee or tea or cocoa?h
Aw, that MrsPao does good pick-me-up packages, doesn't she?! :) Cute blanket - I sure do hope the baby is less hairy... :)
That's just WRONG about the shoes. JUST WRONG.
I am going to be forwarding you my medical bill for the concussion I get when I FELL OVER at the thought of anyone (woman) owning just 3 pairs of shoes.
My husband would love you if I let him meet you.
Your black shoes look nice & polished. Well done.
