My First SP6 Package!

I just got home from my Stitch 'n Bitch meeting and what do I find waiting for me? My very first SP6 package! (First SP package ever for that matter.) If you're wondering what SP means, then how did you find this blog? Pretty much everyone I know that reads it frequents the Knitty Coffeeshop boards lol. SP is "Secret Pal" it's like a secret santa only not just for Christmas. Anyway, look! See that chocolate? It's white chocolate. My favorite! And there's white chocolate truffles in there too! I've never actually had truffles before, so that's a treat! I can't wait to try one! That yarn in the front is "Rio De La Plata" Handspun and Kettle Dyed 100% Wool. There's 140yds of it there. I have no idea what it will be. A felted bag perhaps? A hat? I just don't know! It's so pretty! I love the colors. I also got the new issue of Interweave Knits, which I actually haven't bought yet. I can't wait to flip through that! And a pad of very pretty recycled paper fom Hallmark. The card she sent was very cute too. And talk about nice hand writing! I wish that were a clue. If only people typed like they wrote. I do know that my SP is in Deleware. Or do I? Was it sent from another source? Is my SP trying to through me off? Hmm...Well, whomever she is - I do know this - I love her already! What a great package! Thank you SP!

I'm glad you liked it all! The Interweave Knits is actually last summer's issue. I thought that since you were in a state in the south you would do better with the lighter knits in the summer issue. And the paper? I bought it in Japan (that might be a clue) And I was so tempted to eat those white chocolate truffles!

Oh, uh, It's last years? I was so excited I didn't even look that closely at the details. I did find a bunch of stuff in there that I'd love to knit! And it's especially perfect because I've been trying to figure out what I can make for my sister in Phoenix! Now I don't know what to knit her first!

I just splurged on some Rio de la Plata. It is so buttery soft and the colours are gorgeous! I think mine will become a hat.
