Who has the greatest Secret Pal???? I DO!!!! I came home from a rather long day at work to find my first package from my SP in my mailbox. It MADE MY DAY!!! I got so many goodies, I don't know where to start - I got Opal sock yarn in a colorway of pinks and a little blue and a sock pattern to use it on - I can't wait to get started! I also got some real Colinette wool from the Colinette shop in Wales! I've been drooling over Colinette yarns, but I haven't splurged on any yet. I have to find a special project for it. I also got the most gorgeous stitch markers! This is especially exciting to me because the only stitch markers I have are little plastic green ones. They do the job, but I don't particularly like them...now I don't have to use them! I also got a wonderful-smelling lavender yankee candle and some YUMMY lotion by Decleor - I've never used this - but I'm a body-products junkie! I can't wait to use it!
So - THANK YOU SECRET PAL!!!! I can't tell you how much I appreciate your thoughtfulness!
I admit - I was a little bummed today that Mac had to be out of town - I mean - it IS Valentine's Day and all...but (his) work won out! (To give him a little credit - he did leave a sweet card and some fun surprises for me - he sent me on a scavenger hunt around the house) but - my above-mentioned package in the mail and getting to spend the evening with Jake (my 6 year old little munchkin is a sweetie!) made it a fun Valentine's Day anyway!
One more picture to share:
This would be my first sock (the second one is in process...). It is by no means perfect - but its a start and I'm relatively proud (ok, pretty proud) of it. I think I understand socks much better now and can't wait to perfect my technique!
That's all for tonight...
Thank you again Secret Pal!
I'm so glad you liked it, I was wondering when it would get there! Still thinking what to send next, I'll let you know as soon as I post anyway. Well done with the sock, I knew you could do it.
