Secret Pal Reveal UPDATED

I've been having problems with blogger not accepting my pictures but just to confirm that I've received my final SP11 parcel and REALLY happy with it. My SP included a postcard in the box and I have to say that it very firmly reminds me of myself at the moment trying to cram my stash in at home ;-)

I arrived home and found this box waiting for me:






Opening up I found an optical feast of goodies:



First of all this Italian DK yarn. Four balls of green


Along with two balls of orange and two of yellow:

Next in the box were these two skeins of green and purple lace weight yarn:


My SP had mentioned to me in an e-mail that she was making something for me but had not made any mention of exactly what it was she was making. It turns out to be this adoreable felted green piece. I'm not sure whether she intends me to use it as a scarf or as a runner as some of the flowers have been beaded






Buried under this were these two bars of chooclate with adorable animal pictures. How I wish my rabbits were this small! Also tucked away was a felted die and a 2008 calendar with a cute little snuffly nosed animal. I think it is a mouse but as it bears a remarkable resemblance to Feddy I'm not 100% certain.

I am also going to have to a have a proper sit down and read through of these two mitten pattern books as there are some lovely patterns pictured. One of the books in both English and Estonian and the other is in purely Estonian. This isn't going to cause me any problems though as I can read pictures :-D



Finally, my SP wrote me a lovely message on the back of this postcard but she got the picture so right. You would not believe it but this (as I have mentioned) is so reminiscent of my trying to get my stash in available space at home. I think I'm going to have to e-bay again.

My upward SP revealed herself to be: Kuduv koeraomanik. I've enjoyed our correspondence in the past few months and hopefully we will be staying in touch now that SP11 is over.
