Ahlan wa sahlan min Misr!

Hi everyone. :) The post title is a poor transliteration of Arabic for hi and welcome from Egypt, where I'm currently studying abroad. As my father so cheerfully reminded me last night, I come home in 34 days (not like anyone's counting...sheesh) and will be back in the land of yarn bounty, where people do NOT look at me cross-eyed when I bring out the DPNs. This is my first Sockapalooza and my first swap ever. I'm so excited! I've already starting brainstorming different patterns I might use. This all, of course, depends on my pal's preferences. :) I'm thinking something exciting, though.

If anyone's interested, I blog here.
