It’s here, it’s here!

My ISE3 package has arrived. I wasn’t worried because Ingrid sent notes from time to time so I knew she was planning and working. We exchanged e-mails, I took a photo of the scarves I owned, described the coat I most often wear in the winter and then she had some cashmere yarn dyed especially for me by the talented Nic.

I really love the colors and the stitch pattern is truly beautiful. This is such a fine gauge that I am amazed she finished in time it must have taken hours and hours to knit. The beaded fringe is the perfect complement and I can’t wait to wear the scarf. It’s recently turned quite chilly in the mornings so Ingrid, your timing is perfect. Thanks so much!
Also included in my package was a bar of chocolate with black pepper and a bar of chocolate with orange and spices. Those are right up my alley and different enough that the boys in the house won’t snarf them when I’m not looking. There were some really neat little cookbooks (she’s obviously been paying attention, you can never go wrong with a cookbook for me) and some fabulous Fleece Artist sock yarn. I’ve not yet tried that kind so I’m really looking forward to seeing how it knits up. Ingrid, you’ve truly gone above and beyond the call of duty!

What a gorgeous scarf! And the rest of the package is fantastic. You’ll like the Fleece Artist — it’s one of those yarns that practically knits itself.

The scarf was as fab in person as it is on the blog. Beautiful colors and it went so well with the sweater and the boots. I think I am going to have to get me a blog and get in on some of this fab stuff. OH wait I have to have a computer first…I forgot…. Well one thing at a time.
