A package from Anita arrived yesterday! I can tell that Anita is a much nicer person than I. (she is also an English doctoral candidate and I feel compelled to use my very best grammar and the biggest words I know)
A while back, Anita and I engaged in a little Spearfish sock side bet. The thrill of competition got the best of me and I displayed some of my ‘lesser’ character traits.
- I publicly accused her of being evil.
- I wished knitting disasters to befall her.
- I considered purchasing a gris-gris.
I want you to know that I am not proud of this behavior. Evidence suggests that Anita’s mother did a much better job with her than mine did with me.
Our wager was for sock yarn. Look at the bounty Anita sent!
a new knitting bag, luxurious Mountain Colors sock yarn, Dove Chocolates to share with my Boar and Snausages for the poochies!
thanks Anita — you’re the best!
and since you are the last person to feed him, you are Mr. Poe’s favorite! he’s easy like that.
If Anita had been the victor, I certainly would have sent her the sock yarn – I am not a squelcher. However, I can’t say that I would have been so gracious and generous.
Anita is a great teacher!

Wow, cool stuff from Anita. I like that bag…may have to walk away with me tonight.
BTW, BOE meeting has been postponed…what should I bring? Embellished cheesecake?
Wow, what a great bag! Are you expecting Katy tonight? Are you taking chances with the good stuff again or breakin’ out the paper plates and Tupperware?
; )
girls : you are spoiling ann elizabeth with all these gifts. and those bug eyed dogs definitely dont’ need spoiling but boar could use some spoiling- tee hee
Wow, Anita certainly did come through!
If you enjoyed the Jawoll, you’ll enjoy the Mountain Colors as well. I have two hanks in my stash, though I haven’t worked it up yet.
Inquiring minds are wondering what NetFlix arrival is there in the background? I’m snoopy when it comes to what people are reading/watching etc. :-)
Aww shucks! I’m blushing! I’m so glad that you all enjoyed your treats AND I loved the pics!
Have fun with the sock yarn…I wish I could knit with it, but my mohair allergy says “no!” Hehehehe!
