Good Thing Number 1:
I have really gotten this sock on 2 circs thing. I've made great progress. I'm almost done with the decreases around the gusset, so that mean's I'm over 1/2 way done!!
Good Thing Number 2:
I was the 500th commenter at Christy's not long ago. So, she sent me this great package. I got lots of yummy yarn.
This included I skein of Koigu-she said that was plenty for Branching Out. I don't have the pattern yet, but I will get it.
1 skein of Alpaca Cloud-this stuff feels yummy!
1 ball of Cascade Fixation (footies!)
1 skein of Lana Grossa sock yarn (yummy!)
1 ball of hand dyed yarn from ebay. The color of this stuff is awesome!!
2 skeins (only one pictured) of Simple Stripes
She truely spoiled me. Look at the cute card that came with it too! THANKS CHRISTY!
Good Thing Number 3:
My Lime N Violet sock yarn from Lisa came yesterday! It's soft and yummy, and I've been loving on it all day. A co-worker even stole a big feel!! :)
A project is going on to give Crazy Aunt Purl's grandmother a blanket to let her know how much we all love her. So, if you want to donate a square, go here and sign up!
All you need to send is an 8 inch (I think) square. Any color, any pattern!
Have a great week!

Wow! That's a fabulous package. Have fun with it all.
Hey nice yarn stash enhancements! Not sure you will be able to resist that Lime & Violet though:0
I'm feeling pretty tempted to cast on for some "Snakes on a Skein". I have 3 or so skeins incl this on on the way now:)
Hey Glad to see you mastered the 2 circ process! You'll have to do a commentary--compare/contrast dpns vs 2 circs sometime:)
Oh yes, that is certainly three wonderfully good things. Isn't socks on 2 circs great? I remember being afraid to try it too - but it's so easy and makes the knitting so quick. I do still like my DPNs too - I kind of alternate between techniques. :)
Oooh lovely stuff. Teh sock's coming on really well.
Oh YUMMY!!!! The Lime & Violet is Lovely... Can't wait to see it on the needles... Ü
Love the yarn! Thanks for sharing with all of us. *wipes the drool from the keyboard*
You made a fun haul!
Oops, I wasn't done. The sock yarn is Fly Super Sport from angoravalley.com. I love working with it!
Lana Grosse is my favorite sock yarn...can't wait to see what you think. You are one lucky chick. That yarn is gorgeous, just gorgeous!
