I don’t participate in swaps much anymore. Back in the day I had a ball with them but after a while they became a chore so I stopped signing up for them. But when Lynne and Emily emailed me about joining the Trick or Treat Sock Swap I just had to say yes.
My package from my pal, Karen, arrived yesterday and I’m so glad I signed up for this one.
Everything was wrapped in festive orange and black and there were certainly a lot of treats crammed into that box.
There was candy. Mmm. Candy.
And seasonal candles. I love the pumpkin ones and the scented ones from Yankee Candle smell delicious. And the cutest little pumpkin dish.
There was also ShibuiKnits sock yarn in a beautiful shade of blue and, of course, socks for me.
Aren’t they fabulous? Totally Frankenstein, I’m thinking!
Thanks for a wonderful package, Karen. And thanks for talking me into joining this swap, Emily and Lynne!
What a great package of fun. And those are incredible socks, cute toes.
I’ve always been a fan of Yankee Candle. I have a dozen Holiday scented votives I keep in my fabric cabinet and it’s always a treat to open the doors and have the fragrances wafting out.
Awesome!! Just the thing to make your day.
Lucky you!
That does look like one fun swap. The socks are great!
Nice socks! The green and black does remind me of Frankenstein.
Great package. I love the socks.
WOW! What a package! Sweet.
Treats, socks and beautiful yarn – what a fun package!
WOW!! Great swap package!!
What a great package!
Gorgeous socks! Fun treats! And is that a black kitty takeout box?! *jealous*
Now that’s an awesome swap! Love the socks and goodies!
Those are awesome socks! Green is my favorite color. 🙂
Nice goodies!
You received a lovely package. 🙂 I rather enjoy swaps but had to bow out of some because the money became tight. I find that I rather like smaller and more intimate swaps.
Wow! Fun stuff.
ShibuiKnits is so nice! I keep fondling it, but so far have been able to discipline myself. I have way too much sock yarn already.
The socks are great! You received a fun and fabulous package for sure!
Nice swap!
Lovely socks!! Your pal spoiled you so well.
Great package. I love the socks and those goodies wouldn’t have lasted long with me.
Great package – love the yarn! But, those socks are too cool!
WOw the socks are incredibly cute! You lucked out! Shibu…….ahhhhhhhh in a great colorway I might add!
Great package! Yummy ShiBui!
Love the socks! Like dark, dank, moldy dungeons.
You got some great goodies there!
I haven’t read knitting blogs for a couple of days (you are first on my list!), so I have to say how great I thought Tuesday’s post was. I said so yesterday, but the more I think and the more I read the more concerned I am that we seem to have forgotten how to disagree respectfully, if we ever knew. And we need that dissent, or we’re all toast.
What a wonderful package!
I knew it was going to be a good one by the poem she left on the blog a couple days back.
I love those socks. (Everytime I see socks on you or anyone else, I really, really wish that I liked making them. I just don’t. Sigh.)
Wow that is something nice to pull out of the mailbox. Sure beats bills. The socks are great!
What a great swap.
That was a fun one! Socks, treats, yarn….everything.
Ooh, great socks! It’s nice when a swap works out and seems the right thing to do:)
lovely socks. And what a nice package to brighten this dreary time of year 😉
