Girl Gets Lucky.
No, not THAT kind of lucky!
This kind:
Jen (in UK) knit me a boa!
Ashley and I swapped!
Um, hello, totally outswapped by what was hidden inside!!
That chocolate was a BIG hit at Maryland, let me tell ya. And as to Maryland, well, I'm even tireder now than I was last week. And I've got six pairs of socks and a lovely alpaca scarf. I mean, I WILL have. Someday. When I knit up what I bought...
[Top left: purple grey alpaca for a scarf. Top right: green shelridge farms sock yarn.
Bottom, left to right: purple/green Spirit Trail 400 yds for a pr of socks. Green Spirit Trail for a pair of knee highs. Orange/pink Spirit trail for socks. An autumn-y Regia thick stripe for socks. And an Opal i had bought previously and thought I had given away but turns out I hadn't so now I have two.]
Yes, all this despite Silvia swearing she would wrestle me to the ground if my wallet even came out of my bag. Au contraire, mon frere. Half of this was bought at her urging! Evil enabler!
Lessons learned this year: how to get from the hotel to the liquor store. Now that's something I won't forget. And now back to real life. Ugh.

Swappy goodness! I'm glad the chocolate was good--it was all I could do to keep from opening it up and having a little nibble before sending it off to you, and then being all "no WAY! I accidentally bought a bitten bar of chocolate? I am going to give that Target a PIECE OF MY MIND."
Luckily I had Frango to distract me. Operative word being had.

Love your goody infusion. That sounds worse than intended.

Your wallet didn't stand a chance. :) Thanks for sharing the precious chocolate, too!

I got distracted and forgot that I was supposed to keep you from buying anything. Sock yarn skeins are so petite though...plus we're the WONDER TWINS!
