Gift Box

August 30 2006
Filed under General, Swaps

I have been away for a few days – and since getting back have been suffering with a cold – so tonight is the first time I have been able to get near the laptop.

When I got home, I found a huge grey bag awaiting me – the kind you get with yarn in – only I knew I hadn’t ordered any yarn. I hadn’t checked my mail in while so didn’t realise my Secret Pal had sent out a parcel.

Including a diamond ring with the Tiffany’s setting (I am not obsessed with Tiffany’s honest). You can see them better in the close-ups of the box.

Within the gifts was a little card – with my Secret Pal’s identity – Thank you Helen at Helishlyknitting.

Also some SW Trading Company’s Bamboo. I have never used with yarn – or any SW yarns for that matter and can’t wait to try it.

Thank you once again Helen, I look forward to reading your blog and finding out more about you.

    I’m so glad it’s arrived safe and sound!
    Can’t wait to see what you knit up with the kidsilk and bamboo.
    Hxx.

    Wow, Helen put together a great package there! She was my spoilee (and a pleasure to spoil too).
