The Ravelled Sleeve

Look what arrived yesterday!

It’s another fabulous package from my LSP!  There’s a knitted monkey postcard, a wonderful handknitted scarf, appropriated by my son immediately (“Look at the pretty scarf! It has squares! And rectangles!“), some Chibus (a.k.a. gigantic darning needles, or the perfect thing to seam your oh-so-close-to-finished Lizard Ridge), a red brocade purse, some great Christmas shears, a hot glue gun, a tiny photo album to hold wallet-sized pictures, a photo key ring, and a teacup fridge magnet, which has me wanting a cup every time I pass the fridge, which is often.

And these, too, of course:

Gorgeous jewel-toned Cherry Tree Hill Supersock Potluck, and a book from the wonderful Vogue Knits on the Go series to go with it.

I have mentioned before that my LSP has eerie powers.  She is either psychic or, at the very least, fearsomely intuitive.  Did I mention here that I had lost my glue gun when we moved into our house? Muse aloud about my frustration with conventional darning needles for seaming knitted stuff (they get lost in the wool, and the eyes are too small), or my inability to find anything purse-sized to store photos of my son? No, I didn’t, but my LSP has winkled these things out nonetheless.  And the book she sent me has a version by another designer of the medieval knitting pattern I was raving about on Miriam Felton’s website.  Thank you so much, LSP!
