Last week when I got home there was a package from Kathy. I wasn't expecting anything - so I tore it open.
Funny thing is - while the note was in Kathy's handwriting - it was signed by Lucy! See this is how blogging and ravelry works - you make friends, somebody mentions something you might want (like some templates for adding grippy paint to the bottom of your socks) and then offers to go pick one up and mail it to you.
Because you are on a very tight budget (and you like this person, in this case it's Lucy) you offer to send her some orange yarn you have for the pumpkin socks she's wanting to make.
She then contacts another bloggy/rav friend who just happens to have an etsy store and voila! you are no longer carrying around your current sock project in a ziplock baggie. Thanks Lucy & Kathy - it's a fabulous bag.
Amazing how that works - huh?

ReplyDeleteEnjoy your bag!!
ReplyDeleteThat was sweet! I love Kathy's bags!! :)
ReplyDelete"Ain't" the net wonderful, especially Ravelry?!
ReplyDeleteKathy's bags look neat, but nothing is as good as the pair you made me. I love them.
It's a nicer bag than the ol' ziploc, to be sure! And I think I follow the twists and turns of the history of the package...really nice surprise!
ReplyDeleteOh, how sweet! That bag is super cute.
ReplyDeleteI'm confused at how you got from sticky sock paint, to a project bag... oh well, cute bag!
