Secret Pal 13 - Package #2

Wow! I received a package from my Pal and it is fabulous. Truly and incredibly fabulous.

See this is the box, with all these nice packages.

Do you see the ribbons on the left side? Seriously, look at them. They are magnetic and are used to mark patterns, as bookmarks and are so incredibly clever. The possibilities are great!

Oh, and here is the entire package. There are candy bars -- three Crispy Crunch bars and two Skor bars. Yummy, yummy, yummy. There are two books: One Noni Happy Stripes Oven Mittens and Trivets and Leisure Arts I can't believe I'm Felting.

To go with the Noni book is two skeins of Cascade. One skein of Citron (the light green) and one skein of Highland Green.

A notebook/journal is peeking up from the left. I love notebooks/journals and this one is perfect to tuck into my knitting bag.

And then there are the mittens.

Aren't these totally awesome. Oh, in the picture to the left the mittens are the pile of green to the left. Hmmm, bet you can't seem that well.

Can you see them now?

What kind of mittens are these, you ask? They Bella's mittens. They are based on the movie/book Twilight. They are in a wonderful green and have cables up the back and are 12 (count them) 12 inches long. Perfect for Cleveland weather.

The cool thing is that someone in my knit group had shown me the pattern and told me where to get it (through Ravelry and can be found here). I don't have to make a pair for me . . . I'll just have to keep my 14 year old from snagging these until I make her a pair.

I did try to take a picture with it on my hand so you can get a good idea of how it looks:

These are truly wonderful. And it was a wonderful package. And I am SO SPOILED.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
