More Surprises In The Mail!


Wow, I must have some good karma around me lately, more surprises in the mail. Look at all my goodies!!!

Found out last week I was 1 of 3 winners in a contest that Judith had on her blog. She had a little problem deciding on slippers..so all we had to do was post slipper pattern links, free or to buy! Easy as cake and boy were there alot of slipper patterns posted! After seeing all the patterns listed I just left the one that was my favorite and one that she had posted herself in the group! Judith is the Queen of Links and has a group which is called Links,Links,Links. So needless to say I didn't think I stood a chance to win!! Boy was I wrong!! Thank you Judith, very very much! I absolutely love that little doggie angel!! Think she knew that though from a comment I left on her blog. (she pattern tested it and I just love it) I love the dishcloth and the sock yarn..see I am supppose to get the hang of this knitting..lol Wish I could see it done in person, I'd pick it up so much easier. I took a close up of the doggie angel..its just gorgeous and Lady and Storm had to check it out too! So she's sit above my desk area now and I do love it Judith, Thank you!



My next surprise I knew was coming, just didn't expect it early.

See Interweave came out with Interweave Crochet and I hopped on that subscription fast..lol Kim Werker has a new book released the 14th called "crochet me- Designs to fuel the crochet revolution", and they started a Crochet-a-long blog for the patterns in the book. I'm really excited and already know which pattern I'm doing first..now I just need to pick a color and need a ton of yarn..over 1200 yards worth I need...lol Wonder if I could talk Santa into that...hummmm :)
Well heres's the pic of what I've decided I'm making once I have all my yarn. I do apoligized for that glare, It wasn't in the screen shot when I took the picture.
I just love It. Its called Comfy Cardi by Robyn Chachula, isn't it pretty!
I've always wanted a shrug and I think this would work just great! Now just need to decide on a color, something that goes with jeans I guess, any suggestions?
I know I have another contest prize coming..I won over at Annes for the knitted dishcloth she designed and if that wasn't a shock..lol I think Cleo had something to do with that one, but I'm sure glad!! I'll post that when it come in, I know how you all love pictures, me too!!
Hope everyone has a great week!! Happy Crocheting! :)

Wow - that shrug/sweater looks so cute! I can't wait to see the progress!

And I think I'm the only sock knitter who hasn't knit with Wildefoot. I hear it's a dream, so maybe I'll pick some up at some point!

Good for you! That angel is precious.

The shrug-eteris lovely. I think you should do it in some shade of your favorite purple, because you'll love knitting it AND wearing it!
