still alive! it's been quite a while since the last post but i've been busy dealing with lots and lots of stupid bullshit. i got my november package from my secret LJ pal a couple of weeks ago and i'm just getting around to posting it.
that's mason-dixon knitting, some (what appears t0 be handmade) wooden DPNs in size 10.5, and a skein of patons SWS yarn in the 'natural' colorway. that's patons new yarn that's 30% soy, 70% wool, and 100% soft and delicious as far as i'm concerned. I think that it's going to become some sort of a hat but i'm not too sure of that yet. my secret pal rules! i can't wait to see what's in the next package!
i also got a christmas present from one of my coworkers today, it's a small box called the "winter knits kit" and it contains a bunch of dk weight pink yarn, red circular needles, a yarn needle, two stitch markers, a short 'how-to' book and 25 cards with patterns for winter-related things on them. how awesome is that??! those are three of the pattern cards, on the left is a gorgeous table runner with a lacy leaf pattern up the center, in the middle is a beaded ornament pattern and on the right are some angora socks. this is probably the best preseent i've received so far and definitely is going to be one of the best i'll get for christmas, i know. and it's not even christmas yet!!
awesome!
