thank you to my secret pal
Mmmm, I got some package-y goodness yesterday! My first secret pal gift arrived!
That's Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sport in Blackberry and some Brittany size 2 dpns. Why yes, I have hinted at wanting to learn to knit socks recently!! What a clever secret pal. There was no chocolate in the box-- I'm assuming the mailman ate it. (just kidding, dear sp, if you are reading this-- I have to be able to tease you a little!!)
I think the time has come when I must buy a ball-winder. I have quite a bit of lace & fingering-weight yarns now, which I am terrified to wind by hand.
It is hot here today. I wish I had a summer cocktail of some sort. Maybe a lemon drop, or another fruity vodka something in a martini glass. Instead I am drinking a poor excuse for an iced coffee, featuring Trader Joe's soymilk, which really has nothing on Silk and some Starbucks Komodo Dragon, which is truly good coffee, but which would be much better over ice with some Silk French Vaniila creamer.

I've been dreaming of Lemon Drops all afternoon. MMMmmmm. Go have one anyway. You need something to wash down the coffee drink. :)

Well, you know there was chocolate in the box, but it was a loooong walk to the mail box. I became weakened and had to eat the chocolate to regain my strength. I knew you'd understand! ;)
Love, Your SP
PS. I hope you enjoy the yarn! It's one of my favorite colors.
