My SP Reads Minds

Wow! I was so excited on Saturday to receive a package from my Secret Pal. And what was inside? Well, I didn't have my camera handy this weekend, so you'll have to use your imagination. But picture a really cute little card with Ireland on the cover, plus two hanks of this sock yarn in the New England Foliage colorway, plus the Socks Soar on Two Circular Needles book. Yay! Now here's the weird thing. Roughly two hours before I opened this parcel, I was at Knit Happens, asking Holly and Brittany whether they had that book in stock... and after some deliberation, I decided I would wait to buy it until I was ready to start socks. And then I get home and there it is! Have they been chatting with my SP, or was it just a sign from above? Either way -- THANKS Secret Pal -- you're awesome!

So, the weekend was very knitterly. [We're just going to ignore the NCAA tournament. I hope everyone else's bracket is as messed up as mine is.] Saturday I grabbed a yummy lunch with Erin and then we headed over to KH. I ended up spending about six hours there with the other Irregulars, getting my sugar high on and finishing up the back of the Rebecca cardi. Finally! I feel like I have made some real progress on this cardi... tinking back multiple times notwithstanding. [Patience is a virtue, right?]

And then on Sunday night, I busted out the Frimas sweater to work on. I'll tell you this much: There was seaming. Can you stand the suspense?
