I've been spoiled!

Today is a dreary wet day, and I've a bit of a cold. But look! Andromache Tonks has spoiled me!



The box is opened to reveal a lovely note and some very nice stitch markers and


And here's the haul


What an amazing spoiler! Peaches and cream in a sunny fun color, and the Opal sock in Dumbledore (squee!) that I'd been wanting. A handsewn bag (love the colors!) and a GORGEOUS crocheted bag. Tasty snacks include yogurt covered gummi bears and peppermint bark (love it), some personalized bookplates, and a long Addi lace for making two at a time socks/magic loop. And patterns, including Elphine which I'd been wanting to do, and toe up cast on and knitting two at a time sock info. And the Magic Mirror socks! I'd not seen that patt before but it looks like fun. And those beads - I'm looking forward to what those will become.

Thanks so much Andi!! You're the best. I've sent your Owl back to Portland.

Wow, I think my owl deserves some good rest and relaxation after getting that package to you THAT quickly! I'm so glad you like everything. Full disclosure: while that sewn bag is handmade, it was not handmade by me (thank you, Etsy!). The crocheted bag, on the other hand, is a completely original creation--I made it up as I went along, according to a picture and specifications I had in my head. :D

The Peaches & Cream + beads were a last-minute addition acquired on a trip through Joann's on the way to the post office (they're in the same parking lot, I couldn't resist). When I realized that the things I was collecting not only all matched each other, but they went along with the colors I'd already put together for you...they had to go in the box.
