A weekend of nice surprises!
I received some very very lovely things in the mail this week! I am so floored at the generosity of people out there. I have made some great friends through this blog and I thank you! Let's see now, where to begin........
First I got some amazing stitch markers from Anna take a look:
I immediately took off the boring old white ring marker on my sweater and I am using the blue one now! They are soooooo pretty! Thank you Anna! Oh yeah, she sells them! Go buy them!
I got a lovely skein from Audrey for some super secret knitting (shhhh.....)
Isn't it pretty?
Then Kris sent me a package and this is what it was:
A Professor Pez tee shirt! I bet I am the only one in Camillus New York with one of these! Also in the package was this:
Sock yarn and purple and orange alpaca! YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you Kris!
With all of this stuff I really need to do some producing. Which I have been. I whipped out these fingerless mits for a friend this weekend. I added a flower on the bottom wrist because I think it needed something extra. I like how it turned out.
These are great for a really really quick gift. You can make the pair in about 2 hrs. Finally I have a super secret "thing" I have been working on all week. It is done and will go in the mail today. I can only show this for now:
It will all be revealed soon....
