So yesterday I mentioned that I got good mail. Have I mentioned how much I love to get mail?
Around two weeks ago by pure coincidence, two separate ladies from the US each contacted me asking if I could assist them in obtaining the pattern book that the lacy cardi is from. (This one)
So, swaps were organised, and again by coincidence, both of my parcels arrived yesterday.
First, from Tammy I received this lovely parcel.
Knit Picks Wool of The Andes, ready to jump into my dyepot, some lovely stitch markers, girl scout cookies (yum!) and a lovely little scarf in gorgeous blue and black. Em hasn't seen this yet, becuase I'm sure it will magically vanish if she does. Much the same way the girl scout cookies vanished.
And Traci sent this.
Koigu! Yummy koigu in shades of pink and brown.
What a droolworthy day! I'm sure you can see why I was happy with the mail yesterday.
The Trellis Lace Scarf is blocked. Stay tuned.

Yay for mail. I can definately see why you were so excited:)

**Did I spell that right?? For some reason, I can never spell your country correctly**

Isn't it just wonderful to get packages in the mail? It always brightens the day. Give Twinkie a big hug from me. We had a bunny, named Carrots, that was marked just like Twinkie except our bunny didn't have floppy ears. Carrots went to heaven about two years ago, but I still miss him.
