Lucky me!

A week before my birthday, a package arrived from my dear friend Susan.  She always manages to send me a birthday gift well ahead of the actual day, and I love knowing that I have her package to look forward to.  This year was no different but I have to say that she really outdid her usual generosity and thoughtfulness.



Susan isn't a knitter but she knows of my obsession passion, and went to her LYS which happens to be run by a serious shepardess!  Look at what Susan bought me.




There are four skeins in this bundle -- first of all, I've never seen a bundle presented quite like this and I think it's amazing.



This is a combination of worsted, thick 'n thin, boucle, and silk.  The colors are stunning and I'm pretty much in awe.




Not only was this bundle in my package but Susan also added a pattern -- described as simple but not boring (I'll say!) -- and I'm looking forward to casting on soon.




I know how lucky I am to have so many wonderful friends.  Thanks, Susan, for always making my birthday extra special.  Happy weekend, everyone. xo
