Not because of the actual knitting, but the knitting acquisition!
First Bunny and I went to Nature’s Yarns to get soles for his slippers. On the way home from there (with a stop at Bob Evans for lunch) we stopped at Uniqities and I got the Fiber Trends pattern for the adult clogs. When we got home I set to work sewing on the soles, and discovered I just didn’t like the way they fit on the slippers and the way they looked. So, back out to Fairfax where I exchanged the soles for some yarn.
Not long after I got home the mail arrived with delights galore! The new shipment from The Yarn Pirate’s Booty Club, which is just great, and a box from my secret pal!! The photos on this post are all of the great package she sent that included:
- one skein of Noro Silk Garden Sock in a blue, green, purple colorway that is just great
- one skein of Araucania Ranco in shades of pinks
- one skein of Scarlet Fleece Silk & Ivory in browns, pinks, and purples
- Cookie A’s Gothic Spire pattern
- a WHOLE LOT of SKITTLES!
It’s a great package! The yarns are all really nice and I already have ideas. The Skittles, well let’s just say the snack drawer at school will be well stocked 
Thanks so much to Stephanie of the Knitting Nurse… we’ll have to meet up sometime since she lives nearby, and I think she works at an LYS!
PS: photos of the yarns are on my stash page on Ravelry already!
Nice stash acquisition!

Glad you enjoyed your gifts. I was not a great pal, I know. I tried to make up for it with some good prezzies! Please come by Knit Happens whenever you get the chance. We’d love to have you!

Note to self: identify location of “snack drawer at school.”
Awesome yarn haul, I must say.
