So, out of the blue, I got an email a couple of weeks ago from Kathy (a.k.a. Grumperina) saying that I was the 50th person to submit a picture of my completed Jaywalker socks (see my Dec. 2005 posts) to her gallery. She said that she was giving out prizes for every 50th person in her gallery. She then gave me a mind-boggling list of choices for my prize (including any kind of sock yarn I wanted in any colorway I wanted or a book or something else that I picked). How generous! I chose some Lorna’s Laces sock yarn because we both like it so much and I made the Jaywalkers in Lorna’s (I left the color up to her). So, look what came in the mail a couple of days ago:
Two skeins of Lorna’s Laces Shepherd Sock yarn in the Valentine colorway (which I have been coveting, by the way) and a big bar of organic chocolate with almonds–my favorite. How cool is that? I feel quite pampered! Thanks, Kathy!
