Welcome Letter

By January the Christmas trees, holiday lights and cheerful decorations are all boxed up and put away, ready for the next year. I always find this a little sad and wish that I could make the holidays linger just a little while longer. With this in mind I thought it would be fun to host an Apres Christmas Sock Swap so the holidays would last a few more days before we return to normal routines.

I want to thank each of you for joining my cozy little swap and would like you to take a moment to review the terms of this sock swap.

1. This is a Secret swap. You will knit for your pal and your pal will be knitting for someone else.

2. Please use a secret email when you chat with your pal and feel free to comment on her blog, secretly of course.

3. Socks will be mailed to your pal on January 4th, 2008. Do not send your socks early.

4. Feel free to tuck in the package any treats that you think your pal would enjoy.

5 The total value should be no more than 30.00 us dollars.

6. Contact your pal at least once a month and of couse when you send the socks.
