Wheeeeeeeeeeeeee-eeeeeeeee
Seekrit Pal strikes again! Parcel 2.5 arrived!
How lucky? As you can see, The Greeb was inquisitive to see what was under the tissue paper, once the box was opened. A ball of yarn and a CD, and another ball of yarn and two tubes of beads. I love beads, I love bead knitting. Once everything was removed there was a little scroll message, telling me that I am the very fortunate recipient of a wound ball of Trekking! And the colour is perfect for socks for me. Oh yes. And the wound jade laceweight is Zephyr. Now then, I have heard about these two yarns, and have been wondering just what they were like, and I can tell you that they are both very lovely indeed. I just started a hemp jumper last night, but I think the Trekking will be next, and I think it will be the toe up sock recipe posted to the Summer Knitty.
I love the Zephyr too, it is a gorgeous colour (wool silk mix I think, it is delightfully soft and strokable). The beads are both in shades of blue and one set will look superb as an edging trim on the neck and sleeves of the hemp jumper currently on the needles.
And once the box is empty, as you can see, Greebo takes possession. He likes boxes. In fact all boxes belong to the Greeboid one, and it is only a matter of time before they return to his domain, and he inspects them carefully. Then they disappear. I do not know where.
Many many thanks for starting my week off work perfectly SP!!!
Edited to add: I just re-read the scroll, and my SP dyed the Zephyr herself! Wow! Thanks!
