I participated in the
Dogs on Thursday summer swap. I was lucky to have
Beth and her pets Elvis, Pearl, and Louie send a fabulous package of goodies to me and Lucy. A box arrived at my front door and I opened it to find it absolutely stuffed.
Clearly Lucy knew some of this was meant for her.
But first I'll show some of what Beth sent for me. She was very generous and sent the Vogue Knitting Ultimate Sock Book. This beautiful book has a nice how-to section (which I need) and lots of great patterns. Beth sent a skein of Dream in Color Smooshy sock yarn (which truly is smooshy) in the colorway Deep Seaflower. And here's a KnitPicks needle to get me going.
Lucy got some Splash Bombs! You soak them in water, then when they are water-logged we can play catch with them. What a fun way to cool off on a hot day. She also got a package of sweet potato treats for dogs.
In addition to the knitting stuff, Beth sent me a whole bunch of treats to eat, everything from Pop Rocks to M&Ms. She sent me a decoration that twirls in the wind. I will hang this up outside my front door. I received a candle that smells like vanilla wafers and a glass coaster to set it on. Another good-smelling item is a bar of lemon blossom soap.
Beth, you clearly went above and beyond the requirements for this swap. Thank you very much!

Woo-Hoo, you got a great swap package! Funny how our furbabies know whats for tehm...lol What fun things they got too!
Love the yarn, very pretty :)
You can't pull much over on the furbabies can you? And she was right too! Great package.
The real question is were the M&Ms melted? I took a chance with those since they were sooo well-contained in plastic. :)
Let me know if Lucy actually likes the sweet potato things or just eats them out of Labrador duty.
I'm glad you liked everything - now come join the sock-knitting cult! :)
WOW :-) YOu got spoiled :-)
Great swap box!!!
