Fabulousness in a Box!

A normal morning... Get ready for work, breakfast, podcasts, a bit of knitting, etc. Walk in the rain to work, and what should I find in my office but my first SP9 package! How exciting! My secret pal is so thoughtful! Of course I have to give a complete run-down of the contents!

There was a card to greet and motivate each gift. My secret pal has paid quite a bit of attention to my blog! In the background, you can see a package of Mini Milanos from Pepperidge Farm next to a box of assorted Tazo teas--a heavenly combination! Milanos are one of my all time favorite cookies! Next to the Mini Milanos, you can see orange and red notecards--great for keeping in touch, old school-style. I love stationery--my yarn stash only recently surpassed my stationery stash! You can see a huuuge box of Jujyfruits in front of the Milanos and Tazo--to be snuck into and enjoyed at a movie theater! How fun! Though I'm not sure they'll make it to a theater! ^^ You also can see two hanks of Knit Picks Memories yarn, Flying fish color. I just love the blues, greens and browns on it! Together with the Knit Picks metal dpns hiding behind the card, I'll knit my first pair of socks! I wrote that I was interested in learning to knit socks, so voilà! But first, I need to finish at least two of the four projects I've got going at the moment. I've already downloaded the instructions for sock-knitting from knitty.com--- very helpful! Leaning on the Knit Picks yarn, you see a package of cute, Clover, sweater-shaped dpn holders! How great is that! Also behind the card, you can see some packages of Kool-Aid, for more dyeing attempts! Black Cherry, Slammin' Strawberry Kiwi and Blastin' Berry Cherry---can't wait to see what colors they produce! And last but not least, two balls of Lily Sugar 'n Cream cotton yarn, for my placemat/coaster project! It's such a great package! I'm going to have fun fondling my yarn until I can start knitting/crocheting with it! Just need to finish two projects, but this is a wonderful motivation to get cracking!
