Presenty Goodness
I've gotten so many packages this week, my son has become very jealous. I got my Secret Santa presents from my various knit lists. My birthday presents. And then Jamey got a package too (his 10 year gift from his work).
First on the table: Birthday. I picked these lovelies from Knit Picks (gift card from the 'rents).
I can't wait to dig into these pattern books and yarn!!
This came yesterday from my Father.
Now Secret Santa loot! I participated in two this year. First up my loot from my Lone Star State Knitter sister, Caroline.
A "B" pillow for my back! She had meant to get me some of that purple yarn I couldn't resist at kid N Ewe--but I was naughty and bought it. Grin. The soap is Lavender, one of my favourite scents (lilac being the other). Chocolate--well that's a given...suprisingly, it not all gone yet. hee hee.
Next up: Laurel from my ravelry group, Alamo City Knitters.
That yarn? Her very own silk and merino handspun! Wow, I am naming it Twilight. It reminds me of the colours in the rain forests of Washington. Here's a close up.
Now, I am giving this to my secret santa. Shhh, don't tell her.
I finally finished ONE of the skinny scarves.
It is entirely too cold today. My hands are freezing...and me without fingerless mitts. I think I'll be casting on for some as soon as I finish blogging. My hands are freezing--little ice pops. I think our heater is from Canada and is telling us to fuck off because this cold is NOTHING compared to the winters up there. Suck it up! Grin. Gotta find myself a stitch pattern to use...
But ya know--I start a pair of mitts AND it WILL be 80 degrees. Actually yesterday it WAS 80 degrees and a few hours later snow was falling from the sky (didn't stick of course). But hey, it WILL be cold again.
