ESP*, stash enhancements, and a new knitter.
My SP emailed me earlier this week, asking if I had received her package... when i hadn't gotten anything in the mail by Wed, I was convinced someone at USPS was enjoying MY package! But lo and behold, I had a package slip on Thursday when i got home. I went bright and early to the post office on Friday morning, risking being late for work in Boulder in order to see what goodies I got... and was it worth it!!!!!!!!!
I wish I could have been more patient and waited until I had a camera to take pictures of the unveiling, but there was NO way I was going to wait! Thank you SP...
On Saturday, I met up with some local knitters at Borders, then headed over to String with Wanda and Michelle to check out the Noro Kureyon shrug that Stacey is making for the Knitting Olympics. And I met a new knitter!!!!
That's Cassidy's husband, Shawn. I've met him before, but Saturday was the first time I'd ever seen him knitting in his wife's store. Regardless of the fact that he went to the wrong school, any man that will pick up knitting so he can enjoy more time with his wife has gotta be a great guy. He's been knitting for a little over a week, and I think he'll soon be just as addicted as the rest of us!
Today, I met up with Stacey, Whitney (Stacey's sister), Drew (Whitney's husband), and Alice (we all know who Alice is!) for dim sum. Stacey and I wandered to a boutique... and I bought...
A very generously sized bag, and a matching cosmetics/notions bag! I love the style, size, colors,... big enough that I can lug any size knitting project anywhere.
*ESP: my secret pal has both. the conventional definition, extra sensory perception (how did she read my mind? i've been lusting after this particular knitting book for WEEKS) and she's an especially sweet pal.

Wow, to own a yarn shop and a husband who knits? Your friend is so-o lucky. But then, so are you. That book is on my wishlist.
great time! WOW now that is a husband! thank you for the yarn porn ;)
What a great gift - you got a fabulous SP!! I love that book - and Meilenweit is one of my very favorite sock yarns.
Love the avatar, altho it looks like you had the same cat problem I did - there's no black cat option. Argh.
You have the coolest bags. And your SP rocks - isn't Sensational Knitted Socks a great book?
Sounds like you had a fantastic weekend.
Love, love, love that book. I sorta feel like I now need no other sock book :)
I'm working from that book right now. I love that it takes the gauge issue right out of the equation for the most part. You have a great SP!
I SO want that sock yarn book. I've been denying myself of it for the past couple of months. you're going to make me give in.
AWWW so sweet. I am glad you like the present. Even though you could figure out who I am so easily now. :) But if you do I will still send you presents. :)
Great gifts, and a wonderful bag. These will make the Stashalong a lot easier!!
It's not sock yarn, its cascade 220. I'm making a Cat In The Hat Noni purse!
Thanks Wolverine!
Where did you get that bag? It's super cute.
You do have a grat Secret Pal. Love the sock yarn, as you already know from me fondling it. Hmm, I did not know about the bag, that is so cute. I love it. You little shopper you! ;-)
That is such a great book, I'm sure you will get lost of use from it.
