Knit Sock Kit Swap

It's here it's here it's here!
My Knit Sock Kit Swap package has finally arrived, all the way from Germany! My poor pal Nicole had some serious mail issues trying to get it to me, and ended up sending it via her neighbours who are US Military (I think. It came via usps.)
Definitely worth the wait, though. Check it out:

Chocolate covered clove/apricot bicuit thingies (mmmmm), other candies, awesome stripey bag that matched the outfit I was wearing the day I got the package, 2! kinds of sock yarn: Regia Canadian colours and some blue cotton... stuff? Looks interesting. And some blue plastic (my favourite type of needle!) double pointed needles, and a lizard, and a postcard. The postcard really threw me off - it says sweden on it, and then the candy is german, and then the package was sent via US post... I had to ask where on earth my pal was! Anyhow, SO excited about the yarn. Especially the blue stuff becasue it MATCHES the needles. (Yay!) And there was a pattern in the Fall 2006 Vogue Knitting by Cat Bordhi for interesting socks that I think will go well with the yarn.. but other projects first.

And just because, a Christmas ornament I unearthed while I was doing the tree. I think I made this when I was about 14, before I really started knitting much.
