I love mail. Not the bills and such, but everything else, just gets me flying. You know, makes even a bad day a good ole happy day. Happy days make me happy. Can’t you just feel the giddiness? Well these last couple of days have been really good mail days, so let’s just say I’m happy, happy, happy.

First came a package from Blue Moon Fibers I dug right in and started me some socks.

I did attempt a close-up. Here’s the blurry mess

The next days mail was a double whammy. Not only did I receive the long sought after Knitters issue #58 from ebay (so I could knit me some fish), I also recieved the last package from my Secret Pal. And what a package it was. It brought me to tears. Could have been a hormonal thing - but I like to think that she totally threw me over the edge. Because she did! Not only did it include a wonderful letter and pattern (that I forgot to include in pics) it was full of all kinds of fibery goodness.

Sock yarn that she dyes herself:

FaerieLady sock Tots yarn
Left is Waves and right is Autumn Splendor

and then some yarn for me to dye:

dyeables
soon to be colored by me

Then we come to the buttery stuff. This stuff is smooth and I can’t wait to spin it. I should say I can’t wait until I have the nerve to spin it, I’m so not worthy.

My secret person was Kae also known as the faerielady. Kae you spoiled me rotton with this last package, your to much! But as much as I love all the fibery goodness I think I enjoyed your frequent mails and such even more. And now that we both have come out of the closet (so to speak) ;) I can pick your brain! You can pick mine also if you like - but um,yeah, there’s not much there. Thank you for everything - your the best.

    What a great package. I’m happy to see you had a great time and I made a great match with you two. Hope to see you in SP8. Take care and have fun spinning & dyeing.
