I've Got Mail!

I know, I cry poor and then get a package in the mail. It makes no sense.

Shopping and getting mail are two things that make me very happy. Once those two things were combined in the Internet I became addicted. There is something magical about browsing through item after item, reading descriptions, adding and deleting from my shopping cart at will - all in my pajamas and at 2am and with no salespeople or anyone else to bother me. And then a few clicks (and about a week) later I have a present in the mail!
Sigh.
In my defense, it was a very small package, containing only the needles I need for the Monkey Swap Socks - the metal ones to replace the Sock Stix that snapped in half in the middle of a K2tog. I know. I have contacted Lantern Moon (and they were very nice, indeed) and I'm going to let my LYS know. At this point, I don't even really want a replacement. I clearly am not meant to have those beautiful, smooth needles. Sadly, I am too rough. Or tense. Or something.
Double Sigh.
I have finished 14 (of 22) repeats on Kerri's garter, so I'm going to work on that tonight and then it's time to MONKEY again!! The Yarn Harlot will be here on Sunday and I want to try to get a picture of her holding my Monkey swap sock so that I can send that to my pal with her package!! Cool, right? I'll (apparently) be helping out by taking tickets so I have been promised at least a quick "hello." I will try no to go all stupid and I will try to control the sweaty nervous talking thing. And also the gushing super-fan thing.
Oooooh! And I figured out what washcloth I'm going to make for that swap!! I'll give you a hint... it involves entrelac. Cool, right?

Knit on!
