My PRGE pal rocks again!
Lindsay of Storm Moon Knits spoiled me again! She sent me two skeins of sock yarn!
First a skein that she dyed herself, I'm so flattered to get handmade things - she is a great indie dyer, the depth of colors is more amazing in person...the richness reminds me of Wollmeise.

And then a skein by Neighborhood Fiber Company - it is a bit reminiscent of Jitterbug to me - I love purple, the colorway is gorgeous! I had just seen this yarn somewhere and added to my "gotta have it" list - how auspicious to find it in my mailbox! The colorway is named after a neighborhood in Washington DC - it is super sproingy (the yarn, not the neighborhood, as far as I know).

Other goodies included some great notecards (knitted zombies are quite hilarious) and a perfect little cake of soap in the shape of a sheep - from the Maryland Sheep and Wool Show - so I was there - if entirely vicariously!
May is a great month for me - between Mother's Day and my birthday I feel like a bit of a Rock Star (which reminds me - I beat all of the songs at Medium on Guitar Hero...*blush*) - and then I had a great swap partner, am hearing rumors of goodies being put in the mail to me from blogfriends, I won a contest (didn't I recently report I didn't have luck - oh, but this is my month - haha!), and - don't quote me - but it looks as though spring may have sprung at last - omg, I wish it were May all year!;)
psst - I am knitting away on a second sock - omg, your read that right - a second sock! More on that later!

So happy for you! How does a gal get sent so many beautiful things by knitters anyway? Sign me up!
You're really raking it in! I love that Storm Moon Knits yarn. I'll have to meander on over there and check out their site!
WOW - very pretty yarn! Lucky girl!
I love May too - it happens to be my birthday month as well! I think the leaves on the trees must know that my birthday is near, because they seem to come out in full bloom before my birthday. It's so beautiful!
PS - try Dancing Leaf. You won't be disappointed!
OMG -- they're awesome. Lucky gal!
You have the best yarn, hands down.
Happy Mother's Day.
Those colors are beautiful. I'm glad you're having an awesome May. Happy Mother's Day!
That's some very snazzy swag - how fun!
Shhhh. I think spring might be here in Michigan too....let's not scare it away.
Have a fantastic day!
Adams-Morgan is a very, very sproingy neighborhood in fact!! Hope you enjoy your new swag.
Happy Mother's Day!! Yea! to getting lots of fun goodies :)!

Lovely swap package! Oh my gosh I hope I didn't miss your Birthday...
You will have to let us know when the big day is:)
I just saw that Yarntini is offering some lovely new yarn in your color way! Man I will have to keep my eyes open for that one --It looks really pretty in many shades of pink:)
You got some nice swag! I recently made socks (and, ahem, panties) out of Neighborhood Fiber Co. and I LOVED it. SO sproingy. I love the colorway of yours...and my husband used to live in Adams Morgan!
What gorgeous yarns! And love the little sheep soap...too cute!
Awesome swag, and awesome on the Guitar Hero! Rock on!
