SockaPalTwoZa Yarn

The yarns that I selected for my pal have finally arrived. I'm planning to start off with a blue ribbing, then put in a fair isle pattern for the cuff, then turn the socks inside out and continue with blue for the rest of the leg and feet. I really like the color combination and I think my pal will like it as well. Since I seem to suffer from the Two Sock Syndrome, I better put in an order for two bamboo circs as well. Yes, that's a lot of $$, but it will be well worth it as I'm not going to stop making socks any time soon.

The shower went very well - more people came than expected but we managed to have enough for everyone, and even to have some left over. The blanket was a hit as well. I'm so looking forward to seeing my nephew all swaddled up in the blanket! God willing, I will soon be able to post a picture of him sleeping, all snug in this blanket. I'm already thinking about a tomten jacket for him as an Xmas gift . . .

No, I don't know his name yet. Sister doesn't want to announce it before he's born. Oh, well, at least it's good to know that it's going to be a boy so that I can get used to doing all those stuff that male munchkins do.
