Surprise from my last Sock Wars target

There was a box propped up on my mailbox door today. I wasn't expecting anything, so I was very curious. I should've recognized the name Pammy Knits on the box, but haven't been adequately caffeinated yet today. Pam was my last official 'kill' in the current Sock Wars. When I read online that she'd received the socks and that she liked them, I was happy. I didn't think about it again until today. She sent me a box of goodies as a thank you! Pam's generosity and thoughtfulness included:

• A set of cute sock-shaped point protectors.
  
• A set of handcrafted wooden knitting needles with ladybug finials.
  
• An Evelyn Clark pattern for Oddball Sock Monkeys. Lately I've been making more monkeys that I have socks. This pattern uses leftover sock yarn. Perfect.
  
• Colinette Jitterbug sock yarn in yummy colorway Florentina. I have been wanting to try this yarn. I also have this thing about Wales, where Colinette yarns come from. Whenever I need to go to my happy place to calm down, I go to Wales. Now I can knit a whole pair of socks there.
  

Pam, you're wonderful for doing this. Thanks so much.
