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!
Dave Daniels Said,
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.
Nora Said,
Awesome!! Just the thing to make your day.

LittleWit Said,
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.
Hillary Said,
Wow! Fun stuff.
Cheryl S. Said,
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.

Love the socks! Like dark, dank, moldy dungeons.
Lucia Said,
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.
Cookie Said,
What a wonderful package!
sunflowerfairy Said,
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.)
Nancy Said,
Wow that is something nice to pull out of the mailbox. Sure beats bills. The socks are great!
alison Said,
What a great swap.
Laurie Said,
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:)
Teyani Said,
