Box O'Sox

I recently won a Box O'Sox from Barbara Bretton on the Romancing the Yarn blog. Barbara said, "I'll stuff as many skeins into one of those Priority Mail "shoeboxes" as I can." Did she ever! Here's the goodies:

A big THANK YOU to Barbara for the prize. This Box O'Sox inspired me, but more on that later. ;-)

Stash Enhancement - Astrid's

This was one of my first online sock purchases and of course I pick a place that's overseas. ;-) The shipping was enough to make me reconsider, but with the coaching of ozknitter, we came up with a plan that I could live with. lol Unless you're combining an order with friends, it really is best to stay under 475g to keep the shipping charges manageable (at least it was for me). Astrid was very patient and kind to this American newbie sock knitter. I LOVE the yarn. The images online just don't do the colorways justice.
