Dear Secret Pal,
I simply cannot believe this. I've no idea of who you are, but you've just given me one of the most lovingly thought-through and generous presents I've ever had. At first I was very impressed only by the beautiful wrapping, and from there it just got better and better. I was surprised to find a book-looking package (at least in Sweden books are quite expensive), and I was absolutely stunned to see you got me Vintage Style from Rowan. I cried. I started looking through it, and found your note on the "Salina" page, saying there's enough yarn in the package to make it, if I like. I couldn't believe it, tore the paper off the yarn package and started crying again. Six balls of Rowan's Felted Tweed in "Watery". Watery is the word for it alright. Like a fountain.
And, dear blog readers, the precious package also contained a little cross stitch kit, apparently picturing the very English house where my yarn was bought, candy, a pretty card with a wooden version of the London Eye, a knitting magazine (Simply Knitting), a lavender bag (and my yarn smells of lavender, it's just beautiful) and a hand knit hot cross bun from "
All the fun of the fair". That's a bundle of nice things I didn't even know I wanted!
Dear SP, I'm speechless (lucky thing I'm typing). I had a hunch before, but now I know for certain that you are a lovely, generous and caring person, and I'm already endlessly thankful to have you as my secret pal. Would you mind being my SP for the rest of my life?
