Background: My sister-in-law knits. I do not.

Rob: [looking at mail] You got some kind of envelope or something.
Me: Um, that certainly narrows it down.
Rob: It's handwritten. It's from a person, not a company.
Me: I got mail from a person? Huh...
Rob: It's one of those yellow padded envelopes.
Me: ... OH I KNOW what that is! It's YARN!!
Rob: Like we really needed some of THAT.
Me: It's pretty. I'm going to give it to Rosemary.
Rob: [relieved] Oh, okay.

Heh. He had exactly the stereotypical reaction to yarn coming into the house... and he's not even partnered to a knitter. I could hear his eyes rolling from the next room. He and my brother should chat. :-)

Ooh fun!

He certainly did have the sterotypical reaction. You should have heard Dave's when I got home from Sock Camp after three (eek) visits to the camp store0.

Speaking of socks, I'm bringing two more pairs for you. These are two 100% wool pairs I knit for myself and then managed to shrink with not careful enough washing. Now they don't fit me, and you're the only adult I know with smaller feet than mine. It's more fun to hand them over to someone else than to try to figure out how to make them longer again.

EEEE! More SOCKS! I will, um, probably not wash them properly either, but I'm totally happy to take them and wear them until I goof. Thank you! And now you get some yarn in trade. Don't tell Dave. ;-) (kidding - he reads this, so it's too late)
