I Have been Knitting

Week 6 of Secret of the Stole. This is really getting hard to photo. Final photo will have to be done differently. No matter how I photo you can not see the beads. They are there. They show up more than my MS3. They are gold lined.
I have also been knitting on some other secret knitting. I received my Wool Girl sock of the month kit. Jennifer adds alot of little extras. Stitch marker, teas, honey sticks and the cutest magnet card. I loved it all.I hope to get to start my Lenore socks soon.

Fall into Autumn Dishcloth Exchange

As you can see, I received a great package from my pal, Megan. She read my blog and figured out that Christmas is my favorite holiday. She sent an awesome Christmas themed package. A ball band dish cloth( my first one), some pretty green cashmere blend yarn - very soft-. Some scrapbooking papers and stickers, a note pad, gummy bears, lavender soap, Christmas cookies ( they are eaten now) and some Christmas scents.I almost forgot the beautiful stitch markers , they are so nice( they are laying on the dishcloth).Thank you Megan, this was a great package and I can't wait to knit something with the pretty yarn. You really sent a very thoughtful package.
