\nEEEEEEEE!<\/center><\/p>\n

Lookie what I got! A fancy-schmancy package from ! She went all out. Clockwise from top: Tons of free patterns, all of which I love. M&Ms because she knows I love chocolate. Size 1 DPNs because that’s the size I don’t have. Two chocolate loonies, one of which my daughter ate before I rescued the other one for myself. Fleece artist yarn, Merino 2\/6, more on which in a moment. A lovely card with some truly bizarre stickers – I love bizarre. Speaking of bizarre, Hello Kitty gum, with the writing all in Japanese. My daughter has already had three sticks of the pink one, which I am now also hiding and doling out as I see fit. Burt’s Bees lip balm, because Burt’s Bees is the best, and stitch markers!<\/p>\n

<\/a>Let’s take a closer look at those stitch markers. I love the Hello Kitty bunny ones, although I don’t know the bunny’s name. I believe she said they were sometimes available in her etsy shop<\/a> although I’d need to go back and look at the card to be sure. It’s midnight, bear with me. And then she made a non-dangly second set with silver and gold bumps. Those are smaller, so they’re more appropriate for socks. Isn’t that considerate?<\/p>\n

<\/a>But let’s look at that yarn! My local yarn store doesn’t carry Fleece Artist, so this is new for me! I haven’t been anywhere that’s carried it since I started knitting socks. This is a real treat, on the list of “things I want to try but will probably never splurge on for myself.” I can’t believe was nervous about getting this, because it’s perfect.<\/p>\n

Really, I’m thrilled with this package. My swapper did a fantastic job.<\/p>\n

Thanks, , after I get about five in-progress projects done, I will be very excited to get started with this! \ud83d\ude42
