A package for me today! | August 23, 2007 @ 1:28 am |
My first SP11 package came!
My first SP11 package came!
OMG, today I received a package from my Sock-It-To-Me pal! She is really on the ball and apparently from Denmark! Oh and she knows me oh so well. Green & Black’s almond chocolate! I had a hard time not eating it before I took the picture. And now it’s gone. Poof! She also sent me a gorgeous bit of roving, with dark purples, browns and a little blue. It’s kinda pushing me to actually sit down and learn how to spin. *sigh* I feel like I’m under so much pressure to knit a billion things right now – christmas, gifts, swaps, etc. that I think the only time I will be able to sit down and do it is when I go to Benediktbeuern. But I have a bunch of roving to test out so I’m set! She also sent me a big pin thing (sorry, don’t know what it is, maybe a stitch holder?) with some cool buttons, one of which is a cute pink elephant!
I *finally* sent out a package to my Sock-It-To-Me pal. I hope she likes it. Nothing knitted in it (cast on for it today, yikes!), but some knitterly goods and some sweets.
And I cast off my second Montego Bay and it is blocking as I’m writing. I am out of silk so didn’t cast on another one. :( I’m trying to be good and not buy any…but…oh…love…Marisilk! Where are the pictures, you may ask? Yeah, don’t have any…yet.
I finally bought my ticket to go to London in October for the Knitting and Stitching show. I am soooo excited! I also bought my tickets to go to the show, I will be attending a Rowan runway show!, I made my arrangements at the hostel so I’m good to go! This will be my first knitting show and I am so excited! Although who knows how much money I am going to blow there. Kinda scary!

Wow!! I can’t believe how fast she sent out that package – nice goodies, who doesn’t love a bit of chocolate goodness.

Oh, I’m a bit confused…. Can’t be your first SP11 package or you have two pals??? I haven’t yet sent out anything, as I’m waiting to get something first…

Nice package. It could be a stitch holder, it looks like a skirt pin( of course the proper name for it escapes me now. I use to go to hair shows( great fun) but a knitting and stitching show I’d have hardly any if any self control.haha..Sounds like fun!!

Green and Blacks is like crack, I swear…
I went to my first Knitting and Stitching show last year, in Dublin. It says something that I’m bringing a little wheelie suitcase when I go back this year!

Looks like a kilt pin to me, but I’d use it as a shawl pin.

I’m glad it arrived safely :)
The pin is probably a kilt pin, but it’s sold as a shawl pin. I use mine to keep my stitch markers in order though ;)
And I could see that you suddenly didn’t have the amount of needles of a certain size that you though you did. Hmmm – new package ideas ;)
And since the stamps/packaging gave my location away *g* any specific Danish items you’d love to try out?

oooh Kris, you should try danish Licorice or kransekajer :) which is an almond cookie thingy. And Onion patterns (sewing), a kreative kvinder for inspiration ( craft/sewing mag) maybe some Drops yarn :)
Hej, Guess who fra Kiel!

Such a lovely package — that roving is beautiful. Yep, the pin looks like a coiless safety pin, kilt pin, and/or stitch holder to me — I say use it for what makes sense to you! And how exciting to go to your first knitting show in London! (Jealous)
