It seems to be more of a birthday week than a birth day this year. Gifts keep arriving and I become more and more amazed. Mme Purl is coming to visit in May and we’ve been plotting another dye session. Yesterday afternoon I noticed a truck pull up and leave a rather large package next door (their house number is the same as ours only theirs has an R after it so deliveries often get placed on the wrong doorstep). I really thought nothing of it since I knew things were coming but I never dreamed such a large box was for me. I was out late at knitting and when I returned home, there was that gianormous box in the living room. Mme Purl has seen to it that I’m ready to dye! Thanks Mme Purl, life is NEVER dull with you around. I think I laughed for about an hour before I could finally go to sleep, I was just so surprised.

Also arriving yesterday was this book that’s been on my wishlist for quite some time now.  The very first time I participated in Secret Pal Diane sent me a copy of Knitter’s Stash and I’ve wanted to knit the embroidered tea cozy from that book ever since.
