Sock Swap Swag


I got my package from my Hogwarts Sock Swap partner in the mail. I was quite impressed with the stuff she sent me! The socks (which were beautiful) fit perfectly, while the books she got were fun to look through. She got me a nice set of size 3 bamboo needles (which the timing for couldn't be more perfect) and yummy yummy candies. Even the packaging was cute (a little halloween themed chinese take-out box). XD

I had so much fun doing this swap. I would happily (and eagerly) do another. Thanks so much to my Swap pal Daisy Boomslang (as I know her by) for being a wonderful partner. =D

Hogwarts Sock Swap Year 2!!

I've decided to join the Hogwarts Sock Swap (Year 2, since I missed Year 1). As such, I'm going to try to earn my House a few points by filling out this questionnaire. Hopefully Slytherin will win the House Cup. OH! Sign up for the Hogwarts Sock Swap begin July 14th. Sign up with me! If year 1 is any indicator, it should be loads of fun. =D

Hogwarts Sock Swap Questionnaire

  1. What Hogwarts house have you been sorted into? Slytherin
  1. Shoe size? Size 8.5 ladies
  1. Foot Length? 22.5 cm
  1. Foot Circumference? 22cm
  1. List your three favorite double-point needle brands, including size and length.

      a. Clover Takumi Bamboo DPNs Size 2
      b. Susan Bates DPNs Size 2
      c. Clover Takumi Bamboo DPNs Size 3

  1. Would you like to try a new brand needle? If so, which brand? Size? Length? I would seriously love to have a set of KnitPicks 6'' size 2 DPNs. Seriously.
  1. If you are a RAVENCLAW, do you prefer the colors in the film or the book? Do you have a strong preference? Doesn't apply to me. I'm a Slytherin. ^^;
  1. Allergies? Do you have any? Will your knitting be exposed to smoke or animals? Leather. So don't knit me leather socks, ok? D= My knitting will be from a smoke-free, pet-friendly home.
  1. Are you an international participant (outside US)? Are you willing to have an international Hogwarts Sock Pal? I live in the continental US. As for an international sock swap partner, I can do it if needs be.
