Trick of Treat Socks Swap Package

November 6, 2008 By Carole

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.

    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.

    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.

    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.)

  29. Nancy says

    November 6, 2008 at 6:14 pm

    Wow that is something nice to pull out of the mailbox. Sure beats bills. The socks are great!

If there’s one thing the pandemic has been good If there’s one thing the pandemic has been good for, it’s my sourdough game. I actually started learning about making sourdough bread a week before the stay at home orders thanks to @sprboston as he shared his starter and recipe and technique with me. Since then I have kept Mama Cass fed and alive and have baked many loaves of bread. This one might be my best one yet. I did the final proof in the fridge for 24 hours and baked it from its cold state. Great spring and ear and crumb, it was delicious with dinner tonight. #sourdough #sourdoughbread #lookatthatcrumb #lookatthatear #homebakedbread #imadeitmyself #homemadeisbest
