My CS3 Package

So I participated in a Color Swap Package through Ravelry. My color was pink!!
I still LOVE the color pink, it will always be my favorite. :) No matter how many times I try to change things up I’m always drawn to pink.

My entire box and the card smelled of chocolates and mint! :) I received everything in a pink (silk?) Della Q drawstring bag.
I recieved:
“lace & eyelets 250 stitches to knit” by Interweave Press
2 skeins of Cascade Yarns Indulgence - 70% alpaca, 30% angora
A bag of Milk Chocolate M&Ms in pink!
Brocade Frog: Skinny Frog Fruit Dip Mix
Almond Roca Buttercrunch Toffee (mmmmmmm!!!!!!!!)
Seattle Chocolates
Salmon Mint Tin says “Don’t get vaught with fish breath!” lol
Earthly body Hemp Lip Balm with a heavenly scent (I’m totally addicted to chapstick. seriously, Mike says I have a problem :D lol)
And I got a beautiful handmade cowl!!

I love love love my awesome package with pink everything! Oh and by the way, I just came home from the gym and I just inhaled about half those calories that I burned off! :) haha! I had to really hold back on the almond roca so that it could make the picture. :)

Toe-Up Sock




One of the ladies in our local knitting group taught me how to make a toe-up sock!! It's actually my first sock ever, so I'm totally excited about that :) YAY!

The Who Hat




This was the project I made for my swap partner. I could have sworn I sewed those buttons on straight!! lol It drives me nuts to see them crooked!

Those are supposed to be owls, in case you couldn't tell.

Devra Hat

Doing it the second time was much easier since I figured out what I was doing. And I have no idea why the brim was so hard to figure out the first time around because it made perfect sense the second time!

I double stranded the brim and like it so much better. Just adds extra thickness and form, plus covers the plastic material better so I can't feel it poking through when I pick it up.
