The postman arrived this morning whilst I was waiting for a colleague to come and pick me up to give me a lift to work (the car broke at the weekend) and he brought me a parcel.

I had to hurry to open it before they arrived as there was no way I could go to work and not know what was in it. I was so excited when I opened it and realised it was my first parcel from my new Sockret Pal.

I rushed to find the camera and took some pics so here they are –

She wrote me a lovely note explaining why she had sent the things she did and she’s obviously been lurking here finding out all about me!

what’s in the parcel? Well first out was a fantastic book … 

combining my two favourite things – knitting and reading – has to be good.

The patterns in here are fabulous and should provide lots of inspiration…especially as I found quite a lot of lace weight wool when I was sorting the stash at the weekend

next was  this

that’s a skein of Posh Yarn Lucia Sock yarn in Passion which may become socks but on the other hand may become some lace. The colours are very me and I think it’s most likely to become socks as the colours are perfect to go with my clogs 

and I’ve been looking for some yarn to knit some clog socks for months! On the other hand a lovely lacey scarf/shawl to wear with my clogs would be fab too….I really would look Victorian then…off t’ mill wi’ ma clogs and shawl!!!!

Finally in my sockret parcel were these

The two things on the left are handmade toiletris specially for people training to walk/run any distance (to soothe my aching muscles from my Moonwalk training) there’s ”Marathon Bubble Bar Slice – refreshing, warming, minty bubbles to help you warm down after exercise” and “Wiccy Magic Muscles Massage Bar – essential oils for serious aches and pains” They both smell wonderful.

I have to stop my hubby eating the mini-eggs now……

Once again – thanks so much to my sockret pal….you know me far too well it’s quite scary.
