And then there were Seven

Oh man, that was a rough episode! And not for the reasons you might think. I am so effing sick of Uli not winning!!! She is an amazing designer and for her to have done such an amazing job for a plus-size woman on short notice in just about the most gorgeously flattering color scheme, and those stripes! And the paisley!! I'm getting upset again, I need a moment...

On the bright side, my fabulous KSKS pal came through like gangbusters! Cindy, you brightened up my day like you could not believe, thank you again. The bag, I cannot say enough about this groovy bag! It's made from recycled sweaters (Hey, like the bag I made for my pal), with the strap & patches out of fair isle which just tickles me to death! Not only that, she stitched my name in the dang thing! What a crafter this lady is!



Then come the Crystal Palace needles that I have been wanting to try for ages. And the cute Chibi, containing sock yarn appropriate needles w/the curved tip - I've only found the bigger size & thought the sock sized were a myth. Needle holders of my very own, some Eucalan, a sweet little Mary Engelbreit box (perfect for some stitch markers), cool "G" post-it notes, ooooh & the Red Vines!! Why are these so hard to find in Richmond?!?


And then, the yarn & pattern! Trekking XXL (which I have admired from afar) & its perfect pattern match in iknitiative's "Magic Lace Rib Socks." How great is it going to look in that yarn? I know!


Wow, so much goodness. I need to go lie down. Happy crafting to all!

I though Uli should have won that one too. She did a really spectacular job! Don't even get me started on Vincent!

Moving on..... that is a really great package!! My pal gave me that exact sock chibi too!!

Very cool yarn and pattern. I'll be interested to see them all knit up!
