My Rowanette Exchange gift

Friday was pretty pants as days go. I'll spare you the details but I got home feeling really sorry for myself. But that feeling soon went away. There was a parcel waiting for me on the doormat. The husband barely glanced at it before sighing 'more yarn' under his breath. He admittedly has a point, but this time I had not been shopping, it was my Rowanette Exchange gift from Amanda.

I tore open the package and here's what the lovely Amanda had sent me.

Aren't I lucky? It's a very thoughtful gift.

The socks are really lovely and fit me perfectly. I did take some shots of them on my feet but somehow I managed to blur them all and it's way too dark now for me take some more shots so I am afraid that you'll have to make do with these. The yarn is Regia Landscape Twilight by Kaffe Fassett. I think that the pictures just about capture the colours of the socks. Amanda is clearly a lovely knitter as the socks are beautifully knitted.

Also in the gift was a skein of King Cole Zig Zag Sock Yarn in the Granite colourway (the husband thinks that this should be turned into a pair of socks for him).

And aren't these just sweet?

Thank you Amanda, I am delighted with my gift!

(I am also very shame-faced as I am really really late sending my parcel off to my recipient. I just hope that she likes it and will post about it as soon as I know that it has arrived.)

Finally, a certain young cat couldn't quite work out why I would want to take pictures of socks instead of taking pictures of her. We had quite the battle of wills (which I eventually won).
