my beloved secret pal

today is officially the end of SP5, and i'm showing you the last package my beloved secret pal had sent me last week. aren't they the prettiest yarn? i especially adore the blue variegated sock yarns my talented pal had spun up. she is an avid spinner! also, aligned with her usual sense of humor and witty personality, she had gifted me some yarn from possum fur (see the oatmeal color skein)! but that's not all, i also got a whole bag of rowan's rowanspun 4-ply. red and tweedy, enough to make a top! perfect for the upcoming weather change. bliss...

so, who is this wonder person? she is the author of this fascinating blog- pesky'apostrophie. her lovable characteristics certainly slipped in this interesting blog of hers. more, i'm lusting over all those beautifully handspun yarns of hers.

the past three months, i have been sending secret packages to becky. a new knitter who is just venturing into the wonderful world of sock-knitting. it is interesting to follow the journey of knitter, hers is of no exception. and, i do hoped my gifts for the past few months had enriched her life in some way, a good way.

this was my first participation of the secret pal thing, and it may be the only one for now. i was happy to have met these two lovely knitters and felt lucky how wonderful the organizer had made this experience an easy one; however, i would like to simplify my life a bit and try to shop for myself for a while. uncertainty is beauitful, and i'm leaving that for later.

so, thank you, rox, for organizing the event; mac, for being a wonderful secret pal;becky, for loving my presents. and thank you, my lovely readers, for thinking of my overworked arms. hopefully, i'll be sharing some actual knitting with you soon.

First off, are you okay down there in AL?! I was thinking about you while I was up in the Whites for field work... I am sending my heart out to everyone on the Gulf who is struggling right now... I love your last package! What beautiful yarn you received! Isn't Becky great! I discovered her recently too and sent her my leftover skirt yarn... I am sure you know that she is going to make one too :)

I'm glad to hear from you. Lovely package from your SP. I'm with you on the sp thing - a fun way to meet new knitters, but maybe it's good to take a break every now and then. Take care of yourself.

hope you and your family and friends are okay in alabama. many of my family members live in alabama too, and i was so happy to hear that they are all okay. very nice package from your SP!

hey there, glad to hear that you are okay! You got some really nice yarn from your sp. How lucly:) I'm still waiting patiently for my first package to arrive.
