Knitters Hodge Podge Post

I have been meaning to blog for some days on a number of different things. Some Items I received from my SP8, the progress on my Clapotis, some awesome project bags that I acquired through trade, and late breaking news on the Petals Collection.

So lets begin with my SP8. Earlier this month she had surprised me with the most beautiful set of swarovski crystal stitch markers. I have used these several times--most recently to keep track of where I should be dropping stitches on my Clapotis. Through several email exchanges I mentioned that I was in need of some more of these and that I was looking to purchase some. She is so awesome!!! that she in no time whipped up another 25 markers and dropped those in the mail to me with additional goodies (some handspun purple yarn, lollipops, and pink pen). Needles to say, I was jumping up and down when I got her post and saw what was inside. Thanks SP8 --You Rock! Here they are along with Clapotis in progress:





Next in line are a couple of project bags that my new blog pal Leah made for me. I was visiting Teyani's blog and came across the prettiest Sock Project bags... Teyani mentioned that she had received these from Leah. I quickly contacted her and entered into a little deal of my own. Here is what I scored:

Note: This all transpired prior to me entering the KSKS sock bag kitting project.

On the Sock Yarn front: I had signed up for the Petals Sock Club over at Sundara Yarns and I received my first shipment yesterday. This is a 6 months subscription but now that I have received my first shipment--I can already tell that I will need to extend my membership and go for the full year! Be still my heart! Look at this package of sock yarn goodness:) Isn't it Divine?
