Mail Day!
Oh, the mail man brought good stuff for me from Opal! The cookies and macadamia nut chocolates were in serious danger once Lexi saw them. She grabbed the boxes and ran (for kind of chubby 3 year old that girl is fast) yelling “Opal cookies!” (Think she might remember the last box?) I recovered most of the cookies safely.
The shawl is Kiri and it’s absolutely gorgeous, the pictures really don’t do it justice. I’m not really a shawl person but I have a hard time taking it off. My poor sweaters are getting jealous and my jacket is threatening to run away.The size is perfect too, long enough to wrap around me and stay in place, not overly large (so that I don’t drag it through my coffee cup or catch it on things.
Opal’s mom sent me the journal and towel. The red yarn is actually quite lovely, Opal is too hard on herself, this fiber wanted to be spun this way. But then she sends it to me for plying, then she tells me just to keep it. I think she has yarn dismorphic disorder. Save Opal from the tragedy of YDD.
I’m so glad you liked your birthday swag and I’ll have you know that yarn wasn’t supposed to have slubs!
