Stacey got mail! Stacey got mail!

Lookee what came in the mail! I received my contest winning's from Cara! I won the Mason-Dixon Knitting book...signed even! (which is a good thing since I didn't end up getting to go to Kansas City (boo hoo!!) last weekend) I knew that she was going to include yarn for my afghan project when she sent the book, but imagine my surprise when I opened up the box and found all of this!

She sent me some PINK Euroflax yarn, since those crazy Mason-Dixon girls love it so much. She also sent some of her beautiful sheepy Photo Art Cards. These beautys are going to go up on the wall in my knitting loft! Now for the BIG unexpected part of the package...she gave me Socks That Rock for my afghan!! Can you believe it???!! It's Garnet Dreams, very appropriate from January One. (click for a close-up!!)It's almost too pretty to knit with, especially in an afghan...but I'm going to do it. It will forever remind me of Cara, and come on...when you think of her, what yarn do you think of? Socks that Rock of course! Thanks so much Cara, your generosity is overwhelming to me...thank you, thank you!

Oh, what a wonderful package!! That STR is gorgeous - I like how it coordinates with the Euroflax!

Kitties love to participate in photo shoots, don't they?!

Stacey,

Maybe you could knit up that socks that rock yarn in your afghan and have enough left over for a tiny pair of socks for alice? It look so good, I cannot wait to see it in your afghan. I have to get some. I have NEVER seen it around here. Congrats on all the wins, lucky girl!!

I tried to e-mail you....but for some reason the powers that be wouldn't let me. I was wondering if you could tell me where I could find the pattern for the knitted clogs??? I live in a town without a yarn store (can you imagine that??).. thank you..........and all your goodies are beautiful!!! such pretty yarn!!!!
