My first swap package has arrived!! Yay! It arrived yesterday, and it couldn't have come at a better time! It was almost the end of the week but I was having a hard time making it to Friday... you know one of 'those' weeks. Nothing is going well.
Romkey spoiled me! Thank you!
Look at all those goodies! There is yarn, the blue yarn is Berroco Peruvia and the green yarn is Misti International Alpaca Lace (100% baby Alpaca). Man those baby Alpaca's are soft! It's so exciting that I now have lace yarn... I just have to figure out a good project for it now...
Here is Maya sniffing my goodies. When I took the picture she was sniffing the yarn, mamma's good girl, but she moved as soon as the picture was taken. She also was sniffing my cranberry crackers. They are CRACKers!!! They are soooo good. I was eating them all last night... 
Here Maya is checking out the new puppy in the house. My tape measure! It's a dog! The pull for the tape is a bone! How cute!
Yay! I wish I could get yarn goodies in the mail more often...

In knitting updates....
Latoya is done! It looks great...
on the floor. On me... not so much. This pattern has defined hips, me, not so much. I have no hips, so this tank top just sticks out on the sides. I am going to have to alter it so that it is wearable. So disappointing. I finished it on Tuesday but I was so disappointed I wasn't able to really talk about it until yesterday. I was so excited about it. The cable is so nice,
but I can't wear it! I was advised to maybe just serge it up the sides to fix it. Now I need to use someones Serger. Hopefully by the time I find someone who can help my fix it the pain will have subsided.
Then there is Jaywalker... that first teeny sock, has been ripped off the needles. A second one with the second ball has been started. It is a size bigger, and going well. That was a painful Tuesday.
After all that pain I decided to back off from those projects for a while. I worked on Sheldon and have him all knitted up. He is so cute! I now just need to seam him all up. That sounds like a good weekend project.
The healing has begun... :)

If you have a regular sewing machine, two rows side by side of straight stitch will hold the knitting together.
Maya is a much braver dog than Sophie (who is terrified of my retractable measuring tape for unknown reasons).
I have a serger... I need to do a quick repair on it (won't take long, just need to get around to it), once that's done, you can come by and use it if you'd like.
Hopefully you'll be able to figure out a fix for Latoya, cuz it certainly is a lovely top.
serger repaired... but I'd recommend knitting a swatch to practise on before trying it on the real thing.
