HSS4 Package

This package arrived yesterday and I was completely thrilled. Check out the socks. I have made a rule that all new socks are worn that night. These were really warm and my feet were really happy. And I love how they fit.

Check out all of these goodies. I really like the box. There is a map on the London area on it. The mug will be happily used as often as possible. And the Slytherin mug cozy comes off for easy cleaning of the mug.

But this has got to be the best bag that I have ever received. The picture fails to show the sparkly parts of the bag. Huge thanks go to my Gryffindor pal, Lady Felula!!!

Inspiration has struck and I have finally placed an order for yarn for my pal's socks. So now, I just have to wait for the delivery owl to arrive here at the snake pit. I still haven't picked out a sock pattern yet but I am sure that won't be a problem. In the meantime, I have finished knitting some Slytherin items for me. I will post pictures later today when I have some more time.
