So I did a little more traveling with a sock (different sock…the BSG socks are a little complex for a game) and joined Melissa and her knit night at a Philadelphia Phantoms game. (Stick and puck, apparently? Who knew?)
Melissa’s knitting group (the Philly Burbs Stitch’n’Bitch) is awesome. They had gift bags for everyone:
Isn’t that awesome? Two skeins of Berocco (Jewel FX and Plume FX), a skein of Valley Yarns Southwick Southwick, a kiddie hat kit with three colors of Mission Falls 1824 Cotton, courtesy of Supercrafty.com, and a delightful little keychain skein, from (as you can see) Kitty Grrlz.
But wait! It doesn’t stop there!
In addition to the grab bags, there was a raffle! And I won! Behold my new Namaste Oh Snap! bags, and! and! a subscription to Louet! A year of Louet patterns! Not bad for one raffle ticket, especially when you consider the proceeds were going to Heifer International. How much better can it get?
Clearly, spending the weekend with Melissa is good for my swag count and my posting count. I think I should be visiting her more often, don’t you? (Considering I am currently watching Slings & Arrows, eating whisky cheese, and drinking homebrewed Raspberry Chocolate Port… yes. She is lucky I haven’t moved in, to be honest.)
Love the knitwork.
