A Knitter in Transition

A Knitter in Transition

This is my secret pal!!! she has been great.

Through my morning sickness, my husband went to the post office the other day and brought me my package. I was so excited to get it but just haven't had time to blog about it yet.

I got three awsome packages in the last couple weeks. First i got the wonderful multi colored yarn. I can't wait to do something i can do with it. Then in the next two packages i got Cinimon yarn!! i love that color. Along wiht all the hooks i need to learn how to do cabling. I have so wanted to learn how to do cabling... I am so excited. Now that package my husband ended up opening since he thought it was a present sent to us for our wedding reception. He likes opening up packages. I wasn't suposed to open it until the last box came. well, the last one came yesterday, and i got lots of stuff... cool stuff!!! would i expect anything else from this wonderful SP?

She made it personal by sending a cute little rattle for the eventual baby! it is so cute. i wish i had a way to take pictures of everything but the webcam on my comp doesn't work anymore due to my wonderful sister-in-law's in attentiveness to her baby who just came up and practically ripped it off. oh well, to go on to what else i received.
A pill box/keychain thing which under great suggestion by Ashley (secret pal) will be amazing to hold the little row counters and place/stich holders that come wiht knitting. man this is so cool. I received 2 bamboo handles so i can make a purse, they are really cool. I am just afraid i am going to screw up the purse now since i have never done anything like this before.

Ashley did a great thing, she made me a CD that is titled "Jessica's Cable Tutorial" which has a cable tutorial with all i need to know about cables, a cable video with examples of cables to show you how, and a knit pics cabled purse pattern for me to knit!!! ooo i can't wait to get started! I found three rolls of fabric to put in my purse. they are really cool fabrics and I love the asian look.

Ashley also found that i love to scrap book, and sent me some beautiful origami paper that i can use as scrapbooking paper. Little did she know i lvoe making origami!!! so i may just have to put some of the paper aside so i can make my chinese lanterns and swans! and a note book which i will definately use when i need to write down all my stitches to keep track of. i have realized my memory has gone to the dogs lately.

another thing that continually makes me smile are the postits with the dog and bone on the front. they are so cute. and yes ashley i am so happy to finally have my dogs back. they just need to get used to the new house... which i am having a hard time getting used to. I miss my other one so much. I would give anything to move back there. but it is now on the market and probably will be sold soon. :'(
here is my house on the market website:

YYAAAAAAYYYYYYYY!!!! I am so glad you got it and liked everything!! See how it all came together with the yarn and the cable needles and the cd? I was so excited about that idea, I was like a 5 year old at Disneyland.

I'm so glad you got your pups back and are getting settled. I'm so sorry you had to leave your loved house, the things we do for love...
