The Mother Load
If you suffer from yarn envy or wish you'd joined the Knitter's Review Secret Pal Exchange, you might just want to skip my blog today. Why? Because I have been completely and utterly spoiled rotten by my always fabulous secret pal. Whanna see?
My dear husband (who thought he was picking up new kitchen cabinet hinges - hee hee) waited in line at the post office last night to pick up my package and came home with a huge box! When I opened it, I found this:

And inside was:

Some fabulous Fleece Artist Kid Aran - two skeins of the most marvelous colorway. This stuff is sooooooo soft and yummy. I have no idea what to make with it, but it has to be something worthy of such beautiful yarn. There was also a sock pattern and beautiful yarn, beaded coasters, a knitting calendar, chocolate, and hand and body balm (sorry for the blurry picture, I was really excited and was having a hard time holding the camera steady).
And since our secret pal exchange is coming to an end, I found out who has been spoiling me for months. The best part is it's someone I already know! Leanne. She's been super sneaky - I had absolutely NO IDEA that she was my secret pal. Isn't that fun? Now we just need to figure out when we're going to meet in person.
Have a wonderful day and I hope someone spoils you.

Haha! I'm so glad you enjoyed this. It was like Christmas watching your blog and waiting for you to get your package. You were so much fun to spoil.

No doubt, those are wonderful gifts! I am quite jealous. I heard there was another knitting calendar out there, but hadn't seen it. Too cute.

Wow! That is WAY better than cabinet hinges, I must say. I've got to get in on one of those knit-exchanges.
