The mailman brought a wonderful package from Finland today. It's from my Knit Mitt Kit Swap pal Anna.
I don't know if you can tell from the photo, but I've already broken into the chocolate! I couldn't even wait for the photo shoot for that! Anna made me a beautiful felted bag in a rainbow of colors. I really like the shape and scale of this bag. It will be perfect for small projects. She also sent the pattern for the Anemoi Mittens. I've been drooling over all of the Anemois that I've seen lately. I'm so excited to knit this pattern. There is some yummy Drops alpaca in ivory and a deep loden green, some DPNs and of course the delicious Finnish treats. Thank you Anna. I'm thrilled with it all!
Here's a closer shot of the bag.
I've got to dash out now to pick up the kids from school. (Why does it seem I'm always writing my posts in a rush these days?) But I will leave you with a picture of a new sock I've made, the mate is almost done, then I'll post a pattern. I used Socks That Rock Medium Weight in the Jingle Bell Rock colorway.
