Oh goodness, two days in a row! I am feeling so spoiled, and it’s not even my birthday yet. 🙂
This time, I came home from a hard day at work to find a surprise in my mailbox from Singular Stitches. She and I had an online discussion about sock knitting a little while ago. I really admire her skills and enjoy seeing her beautiful, often delicate and lacy, creations come to life. When I asked her about needles and such, she asked for my address and said that the yarn fairy might pay a visit.
Of course, I forgot all about this discourse, so when I saw the package, I recognized the name of her town and thought, “What could this possibly be?” She outdid herself, of course, sending a set of double-pointed needles that are perfect for knitting socks and two skeins of a delightful yarn that will match nearly all of my dress pants for work, I think! She even handmade the card inside, which is just beautiful.
I’m nearly speechless from all of this kindness. Thank you so much! Now I just have to have you teach me how to actually knit the socks… 😉
Sorry for the dark photo. I used the flash, but it was getting ready to rain outside, so the lighting was very poor.
Oh, those will make lovely socks! And it’s not difficult when you get the idea (and smart person like you will get into it in no time). 🙂
Now… when is Jenna’s birthday? I’m just curious… 😉
How sweet of Lynn to bless you with that gorgeous yarn and needles. Good luck learning to knit, Jenna!! I’m sure you’ll catch on quickly. 😀
Wish I could help you with your clematis pruning question. There are 3 categories of clematis, each with it’s own pruning time. Mine is one that flowers on new growth, so in late winter she is to be cut down almost to the ground.
How thoughtful!! Love the colour of the yarn. Have fun!
Ooooh, I can not wait to see them when you finish with them! What another awesome surprise!!!!
One day I will learn how to knit too! I just can’t add any more projects right now though!
Oh boy, have fun with these goodies!!
Woohoo, another lovely gift from Lynn … how awesome! 🙂 Now we’re going to be hanging out waiting to see them knitted up 😉
Jenna, you are quite welcome!! 🙂
And, yes, I do expect to see a picture of your finished socks posted on your blog someday! 😀
Can’t wait to see your socks all stitched up Jenna.
