Sockpal Coincidence!
Great minds think a like on this pair! My sockpal, Abigail of 1870 Pearl, hinted that I would laugh when I saw the socks she knit me, but in a good way. I haven't posted about my socks because too many things happened. My socks arrived earlier than expected as Abigail was doing some packing and moving. Unfortunately, they arrived the day before I was off on a trip myself and my parents were visiting. After much squealing and drooling by myself, and I think my mom, I set them aside until the end of my parent's yearly visit.
Where does the coincidence come in? Well, my sockpal really figured me out. She knit me socks in the same pattern I was knitting my own sockpal, sockbug's River Rapids! I thought that was too cool. Before my sockpal's socks, I wanted to try knitting me some of these socks, but didn't have the time. Now, I have my very own River Rapids socks! And in a pretty Lorna's Laces colorway -- Tahoe. It's purple, it's green, it's blue. All the colors I love! Check them out below. The color is closer in this photo than in the goodies photo below.
She also packed in a few extra goodies, like a beautiful little bag that stands up really well (flat-bottomed), At Knit's End by the Yarn Harlot, The Healing Garden lotion and spray mist in lavender (yummy), needle gauge and ruler, Sock It To Me shoe size to sock length conversion guide (which looks like it will come in real handy in the future), some very cute black sheep and angel row counters (the angel ones are in the bag -- I didn't want to lose them), and a stitch marker from the Loopy Ewe.
Did my sockpal pack some stuff in there or what? I couldn't believe what was in my package. I think my mom must have heard "awesome" and "cool" several times, poor woman. Okay, I'll stop before I start saying too cool again.
Happy fibering!
