Look what I got in the mail today.
A couple of sock knitting books that I had been thinking of buying but just didn't want to spend money on myself so I didn't bother and guess what? My secret pal read my mind (or my blog) and bought them for me plus a couple of other great patterns. I also got some to die for yarn, the blue on blue is delicious and I can't wait to knit it up. The green one is very spring like and the earth tones really appeal to me.
The black, white/grey wool is screaming out for some husband socks.
I just love At Knit's End, it is another little thing that I have been eyeing for myself for months but it seemed frivolous to gift yourself!!! Did you know that Stephanie is from my home town and comes to our knitting events? Anyways the book is fabulous, it is soooo funny and I can't put it down.
Thanks also for the circular needle storage, I like both and it sure beats the ziplock bag that I have been using.
The diary is also perfect, did you know that I make all of my own charts for my socks so that I can keep track of my progress? You must have, I was just finishing my last notebook.
Thank you very much secret pal, your gift was just great and I look forward to meeting you!!

PS
I have finished 2 pairs of socks and will post photos soon but I'm late for my SnB.
