Check out the fabulous mitten kit that arrived this afternoon! Rebecca really put together a wonderful kit:
I *love* the blue and orange combination of both the bag and the yarn – it’s not something I would have ever thought to put together myself, but it’s so perfect! (After all, they’re two of my favorite colors, why have I never put them together?) It will also go wonderfully with my blue winter coat. The yarn is an alpaca and silk blend. It is so incredibly soft and wonderful, I might just have to pet it for a while before I knit it up. I’ll have to think about how I’d like to do the mittens, since the included pattern is a great basic mitten pattern which leaves a lot of options for customization. Stripes? Fair isle? The possibilities are endless.
Also in this package are several packets of peppermint hot chocolate, a couple of polar bear smooches (which Denis tried to make off with but I insisted they had to be photographed first), and some lovely beaded stitch markers (blue and orange, of course!) made by Rebecca’s sister Sarah.
What a great package! Thanks, Rebecca! I’m off to go drink some fabulously yummy-sounding peppermint cocoa and pet my new yarn for a bit.
So glad you like it! I was in such a hurry to get it out (had other people waiting on my while I ran into the post office) that I just scribbled out a note. I’m glad it arrived – cheers! Rebecca
