I've finished half the first sock isn't it lovely? The yarn is by crazy for dyeing colorway Gryffindor. You may remember I got this yarn and pattern from my pal in the Hogwarts Sock Kit Swap 5. I'm really enjoying this pattern and the triangular toe up gusset is amazing. Thank you Yarnissima for this construction method. <p align="right" ><a href="http://www.shozu.com/portal/?utm_source=upload&utm_medium=graphic&utm_campaign=upload_graphic/" target="_blank" ><img src="http://www.shozu.com/resources/messages/logo_blog.gif" alt="Posted by ShoZu" border="0" /></a></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092716467818135736.post-42280859804367074572009-01-08T13:35:00.001-08:002009-01-08T13:35:10.583-08:00Trelawneys socks<a href="http://media.shozu.com/cache/portal/media/58b81a9/16777226"><img src="http://media.shozu.com/cache/portal/media/58b81a9/16777226_blog" /></a><br/>These are an exclusive colorway and pattern from the biscotte and cie movie charecters sock club.

It had probably arrived sometime last week, but apparently Erol was sent and he has very bad aim. The package was found on the ground beside my deck. I wouldn't have noticed it there if I hadn't been hanging Christmas lights today. The box was soggy from snow and rain but the contents inside were fine. I love the socks! They are perfect Gryffindor socks and they fit wonderfully. I also got some great sock yarn that I can't wait to knit into my second pair of socks! There are two sets of needles, a mini sock, some Harry Potter gift bags and some yummy DQ chap stick! What a great package! Thank you Head Mistress! Thank you for adopting me when my partner decided to drop out! Thank you for taking the time to make an extra package and for being patient with me with my slowness and imperfect first socks. I hope you enjoy your package. I love mine :)</div>Janehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12774226231767248811noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092716467818135736.post-28006206088938462842008-11-25T05:27:00.000-08:002008-11-25T05:28:07.016-08:00Trying to contact the Head MistressHead Mistress,<br />Please check your email :)<br />JaneJanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12774226231767248811noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092716467818135736.post-90186722392629219742008-11-21T21:50:00.000-08:002008-11-21T21:51:44.253-08:00THANK YOU !!!!!<div>Thank You to our head mistress and</div><br /><div>every one who made this a GREAT! swap</div><div> </div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_kQaZkJuc1uI/SSed4h0oDNI/AAAAAAAAARA/vZp6km0NTn0/s1600-h/witch12.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5271355483337788626" style="WIDTH: 160px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 160px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_kQaZkJuc1uI/SSed4h0oDNI/AAAAAAAAARA/vZp6km0NTn0/s320/witch12.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div>Penelope of Flitwickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00427748419145066150noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092716467818135736.post-59470625394269565652008-11-21T20:08:00.000-08:002008-11-21T20:19:06.938-08:00Big thank you to Celestina CrookshanksSorry it took so long to post about my package from Celestina Crookshanks.

I finally broke down and 'borrowed' my daughters old old digital camera - it has got to be one of the first ones they made with a data card, this thing is about 3 inches thick.<br /><br />It doesn't take the best photos and the flash would have flooded out the pic, so pardon the darkness;<br /><br /><table style="WIDTH: auto"><tbody><tr><td><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/LhWE42LU5TjySzPEVdyvIQ?authkey=SsO25ITFKIs"><img src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_7LBNmPtnsyA/SRBbzoBrd0I/AAAAAAAAAgE/zo90Rfy_UQc/s400/InComing%20package%20004.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td style="FONT-SIZE: 11px; FONT-FAMILY: arial,sans-serif; TEXT-ALIGN: right">From <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/GingerGargoyle/GingerGargoyleSGems?authkey=SsO25ITFKIs">Ginger Gargoyle's Gems</a></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><br />The yarn is soooo soft! It is called "Death Eaters" by Faery Fibers ... I've never heard of them, but man are these socks comfy! They are 100% merino superwash ... its like putting my feet into clouds - and I am not a big sock person so trust me when i say you would love this yarn.<br /><br />She also made me a pushmepullyou style sock bookmark - have you seen these? It is so cute! one half is green the other grey. She even had time to felt me up a little bag that looks like a cauldron -- it is adorable (I may have to hide it from my 9yr old though, she thinks its a hat for her doll).<br /><br />Thank you Queenie!
