My package came from the Monkey Swap Three from the Swap Hostess, Rebecca of Socks For Mum. The paper was really cute and the address label had monkey stickers on it as did the note! This package included a huge pile of my favorite monkey things.
The socks are lovely and even have the picot edging I so coveted. I’ve been really good not checking out Rebecca’s blog. It’s hard when you know who your partner is. Anyway, she solicited information on what stuffed monkey to send and you guys definitely picked the right one. Although, you can’t see his red tail in this photo.
We must think alike, because we gave each other the same wind-up monkey. He moves from side-to-side on his arms. I loved it so much that I was bit sad to send him off, but I got one from Rebecca! I am going to bring it to work where it will provide me with hours of distraction.
Can you see the polka dots that are behind the top of my socks? Rebecca apparently has some skills with cutting plastic, because now I’ve got my very own homemade sock blockers! What a great packaging idea! I’m going to make a lot of use out of them. You can see it better in this photo.
The package included Lorna’s Laces, which will make lovely socks. I love Lorna’s Laces and though I probably won’t use them on the selected pattern, I don’t lack for sock patterns to use the yarn on or yarn to use for the pattern. The pattern was Gothic Spires. Whee!
Thanks Rebecca. I love the package!
