Package!!!
I got two packages this morning - a whole heap of textbook (woo my life is so exciting when I get happy about textbooks!) and a package from a (now not so secret!) secret pal!
Inside was a gorgeous little bag, and a lovely hat, and some teas! I love tea and I really appreciate someone buying me some 
.
The hat was Coronet from Knitty abley modelled by Oscar there (so it’s probably a smidge big for my head but that’s ok because it covers my ears!!!) and Sophie from Magknits, in the most perfect red Cascade 220. Oscar said that it was the most perfect felting he had ever seen by the way. I feel very loved and thought of when this was made, and want to thank the lovely Christine for my package!!!
In other knitting news, I’ve made lots of stitch markers:
LAST of all: is this for you? Are you my secret pal? Do you love these so much you want me to be your pal? Hmmmm - all will be revealed in a few days!!
Ok I lied - one more thing. I love dyeing yarn and will put up a tutorial shortly on it but I wanted to say that I find it fantastic that I can love it so much that a skein of yarn moves me almost to tears. Here is the skein:
What a lovely gift!! The knitting, the tea!!! How excellent! The colours in the skein of wool are beautiful, all oceany and it looks like Coles bay: the beach and the aqua water near the sand and then the deeper greens and blues!!

I of course know who your secret pal is, and I am not saying. hehe.
I am looking forward to your tutorial on dyeing yarn. I have always wanted to try it.

The yarn was so hard to part with! And the guy who bought it seemed delighted by it!
And now I know who my pal was and wow was the package gorgeous!
