Happy Halloweenie!!

Happy Halloween everyone!! I got a great package in the mail yesterday, from the lovely Alarid of the Knittyboards. Take a look!

What's in it? Two GORGEOUS skeins of Silky Wool, yummy Dark Chocolate, evil Candy Corn...


And then there's the little stuff...cool halloween card, beautiful raindrop ornament from her side of the world (British Columbia!), an eagle keyring, purse sized hand lotion, pumpkin soap (with real pumpkin pulp!), BEAUTIFUL homemade stitch markers, and a lavendar sachet pouch for use in the dryer - or in my yarn!

What a great package, thanks!! The yarn color is beautiful...thinking maybe I'll make myself a pretty scarf or something with it!

Oh, and speaking of packages LONG overdue to be blogged about...here are the amazing hand-dyed, hand-knit socks from my sock pal Ms. Pixie Riot! She is starting up her own business hand dying yarns, and there are some great colors on her blog - check it out!

I've been doing some charity knitting lately too...finished a Guidepost sweater a week or so ago, and well on my way to finishing a second one... A friend contacted me because she was in need of some Chemo Caps... So I found this pattern made with Lion Brand Cotton Ease, and whipped them out. I hope they are well loved by their recipient.


Oh, and one last note...many of you are now on Ravelry, and a few are still wondering what it is. To sign up, click on the name above. To find me, I'm FiberFanaticsRUs. Hope to see you there! Oh, and I'm being slow about putting things up....recent projects are there, older projects aren't. Very little stash has been put up...I have yet to decide if I'm going to drag out and photograph all the stash so I can post it all...wow, that'll be a job!

I'm glad you liked the package! And really glad it got there-the post office lady said that I didn't have enough numbers!
