Mad Caterpillar

My Sockapalooza4 socks arrived in the mail! Here's the happy little package that showed up on my doorstep:

And here was what was inside:

My upstream Sock Pal was Tammy from Cozy Stitches -- be sure to stop by and see the gorgeous shawl she just posted on her blog! The socks that she made for me are fantastic! She used Henry's Attic Kona DK yarn dyed by Little Turtle Knits, and she used the Crusoe pattern from Knitty. The stitch pattern really shows off the variegated yarn well, and I love the deep colors! They fit perfectly -- the DK weight yarn makes for a wonderful pair of thick and warm boot socks for the coming fall and winter. I especially love the eye of partridge detail on the heels and soles of the socks, making them extra-durable.

Tammy also included a fun small project knitting bag, some Cozy Stitches Crafter's Lotion, and some stitch markers for crochet as she'd noticed I'd been dabbling in crochet lately. Thanks so much for such a thoughtful package, Sock Pal!
