Amanda, of Joli House (go check out her blog -- it's choc full of great projects and beautiful pictures) had sent me a lovely gift package:
- Posh yarn - a silk merino lace weight yarn with a whopping 1200 yards. Isn't it a great colour! And the yarn is soo very soft. I'm thinking I'd like to make a top - maybe spook, or grannie smith, or marianne, or...
- A great knit mug. Funnily enough, I'd just acquired a similar mug from Starbucks (I'm sure you've seen them around blogland already, right?) and had told Joe that I was going to acquire a whole set. Seems Amanda read my mind and is helping me on my way :)
- And check out the festive shopping tote. Love it!
- But most of all, I really like the adorable card -- a picture of Amanda's daughter Lily (who, by the way, is an amazing knitter - her fab projects are also showcased on the Joli house blog). I see a future Kim Hargreaves in the making ;o)

So glad you liked it all. You deserve it!
And of course you'll have Spook finished by the time you come over for Christmas and I'll be able to see it!! :D
WOW! I love that yarn!

That is a lovely gift! Amanda is very sweet.
Such a lovely gift!
I love that pretty, clear, bright blue. It will be lovely for any of the projects you linked to.
I enjoy receiving mail packages too.
Hope all is well.
What a great package! The yarn is beautiful and will look great with any of the patterns you linked to :)
Lucky you, what lovely yarn and does that mug look knitted? Do they sell them like that at Starbucks? I've never seen any!
I have Spook on the needles right now but it's not gonna be picked up any time soon, I gotta ton of other wip's I'm trying to get done first.
