Eliza and I had a little mini sock swap with ourselves- we each a) secretly picked a sock pattern from the other’s Ravelry queue, b) knit one sock, and c) sent the one sock, pattern, and the rest of the yarn to make the matching sock. No more second sock syndrome!!
Eliza chose the lovely Leyburn sock by Pepperknit:
Which is utterly fantastic. I love the gorgeous Koigu that she used-a lovely springy yellow. I’m so excited to knit the other sock with this scrumptious yarn! I got a kick out being sent Koigu from the States- Koigu is produced about 4 hours away from me, so it’s pretty local, as far as Canadian yarns go!

She also tucked in a cute little squid (who now doubt had very comfy ride to Canada with all that Koigu), and a CD mix of awesome tracks! Below is a sampling of a couple of the great tracks she included:
The Blow- True Affection
Of Montreal- Wraith Pinned to the Mist and Other Games
Awesome package. Thanks so much, Eliza!!
P.S- I’ve been on a butterscotch kick lately- probably from making Eliza’s Butterscotch Monkey sock. I recently made a vanilla and chocolate bundt cake, complete with butterscotch sauce (from scratch) and pecans. So. Damn. Good!!! I’m going to make this again, for sure.
