So a while back, Erin of http:\/\/www.anatomyofaskirt.com\/ made an offer on her LiveJournal. She had a “blem” bag that she was letting go for cheap. Cheap? Why, that’s exactly my price range! So I dropped her a line and some cash – slightly more than she asked for, because it really was worth more – and then sat by my mailbox with a catcher’s mitt.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, I got a package from Canada, eh!
\n
\nAvast, matey! You’ll be handing over all yer yaarrrrrrrn!<\/i><\/center><\/p>\n

It’s bigger than I thought! I could fit two five-pound cones in this thing, easy. I wouldn’t, mind you, but I could. As for the blemish, it’s tiny. Really, very tiny. It’s a speck of pink under the eyepatch, like maybe the yarn pirate didn’t take off all its eyeshadow from the night before. It’s a testament to ‘s high quality standards that she let this go for a third of the price, with full disclosure, when it really is pretty perfect.<\/p>\n

And she sent other goodies! My daughter, who kept saying “Is it for me? Is something for me?” got these cool barrettes, which remind me of my days as a kid roller skating at Kate’s Skate Palace. If she gets a job as a carhop in a drive-in diner, she’s set!

\nPlus the felt piece with the iconic squirrel and acorn above, and a deer pin. I don’t know for sure what she’s using to make these, but I’m going to guess that can really rock that Gocco!<\/a>
\n

\n
\nShe also sent some blank cards with felt designs on them. Too cute!
\n

\nThese remind me of the felt animals and designs that my husband and I made for our daughter’s feltboard when she first got it, a few years ago. Picture below! I need to investigate a good glue method for these – I wouldn’t mind making more, but using fusible webbing on the first couple was a waste of time. I think we finally went with Elmer’s school glue. If you’re a crafty type, I’m open to tips.
\n<\/p>\n

So, in a nutshell, thanks, Erin. Your stuff is fabulous, as always. I’m very thrilled with what I’ve got and can’t wait to show it off to everybody I know!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kissmyknits.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/955"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kissmyknits.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kissmyknits.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kissmyknits.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kissmyknits.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=955"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.kissmyknits.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/955\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kissmyknits.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=955"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kissmyknits.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=955"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kissmyknits.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=955"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
