[K is for Knit Me]

well, well, WELL!!!!

I have been officially SPOILED by my awesome partner, hazelly!!!

I have to say that my camera is very old, so the photos will definitely not
do justice to the goodies my partner sent --
Hazelly, if you have more pics, feel free to share!
eta:  grrrrrrr!  took a couple of cute photos, and doggone camera went on
the fritz, so this was the best I could do at re-assembling the goodies and
re-taking the photo.....hazelly, you'll notice the 2nd bag of cookies never made
it back from the kitchen  (YUM

My name is Karen,
so here we go:

pkg pre-opening:


and here is post-opening:


K is for Knit Me  (notice the neat packaging with cute little handwritten cards for each part of
the pkg??  Adorbs!)
This is a skein of the softest, most beautiful HANDSPUN yarn -- this would have been sufficient
for the whole pkg!  I know what a labor of love it must be to spin such great yarn!
Thanks a MILLION -- I mean it!

A is for Adorn Me
The cutest hoopla (had totally forgotten this was on my profile faves....so cute!)
and stitch markers that I just love (can't get enough of these....always need more!)

R is for Rinse Me
Wonderful-smelling soap from a local soapmaker who attends her knitting group

E is for Entrust Me
My favorite type of bag, the Japanese knot bag!  And would you believe she HAND-sewed it???
Excellent work!

and finally
N is for Nibble Me --
Luscious cinnamon roll cookies (both iced and uniced) as well as some authentic Turkish Delight
candy.....mmmm mmmm GOOD!!
My dtr and I have already sampled all of the goodies, and
I believe I will have those cookies for breakfast for the next few days; they taste JUST LIKE
cinnamon rolls!

All I have to say is OUTSTANDING!
Thanks for a super pkg, hazelly!!

Well, I rec'd from my partner patty o furniture
on Friday, but made myself wait until I had her pkg almost ready to go
before I opened.
Wow!
She crammed so much good stuff in that lil box   
My camera is not the best, so patty o, if you have pics, please post!

The whole she-bang:


Mmmmm, cute sewn ornament pouches with yummy candy corn inside!
also such cute stitch markers and Witches Brew hand sanitizer  (I think?)


and just LOOK at all of the neat hand-carved stamps!!
very impressive~


plus lots of extras~~


Thanks bunches, patty o!!!!

so, I opened my pkg.....
(((((drumroll))))))

crazyda sent a super pkg!!
Thank you SO much, partner!!

My name is Karen (+ last initial G)
She was so creative in naming the items AND the wrapping!
Just look:

K = Kaleidoscope packing, containing Karen Knowledge  (things I like -- she pegged me perfectly!)
yarn, knitting stickers, a bird windchime, and CANDY to spell my name!!!!!    this always thrills me
for some reason     Oh, and the Nerds Rope might just be half gone already   




A = Amarillo(yellow) wrapping, containing Appliance hanging towels, for oven or fridge
R = Red wrapping, containing a Russian nesting doll room sign
E = Ecological, economical wrapping, containing an Evergreen forest picture frame



N = Noisy wrapping (it really did crackle a bunch when I opened it  containing a tree noteboard

G = Green wrapping containing a Gold, glittery glasses case with gems



Thanks for being a great partner, crazyda!!

Time to post my pics!!

Here is my pkg from the lovely sinellia:

First 3 items I opened were
Round = the cutest hoopla -- I love this darling marshmallow!
The letter T = Green tea that I'm anxious to try
Funny = a pattern book for easy crochet critters -- I'm glad they are Easy, since I'm such a
beginner with crochet!


Then we get to:
Green = amazing green yarn by Madelinetosh (love love love this yarn -- gonna find a special
project for it!) and some cute green heart buttons
Hard = crochet hooks (LOL we were thinking along the same lines for each other on this letter!)
Local = choc covered raisins  (mmm, mmmm, good!!)
and
Sender's Choice = a sweet little zip pouch that will keep me organized~


Thank you, thank you!
You did a great job and definitely hit the target with this pkg 

As always, if you took any pics you want to share, feel free!
My photo skills are kinda sad, LOL

So my partner overwhelmed me with goodies yesterday,
(see the huge box??)

and here is the list:
Local = a cute tote bag & pin from her LYS (I'll have to check it out online)

Round = local handspun (I'm guessing bec. it goes round & round as they spin?)
Absolutely gorgeous sock yarn in the loveliest colors!

Green = recycled yarn (known as stash  It is SO soft -- cannot wait to work with it!
and my LYS does not seem to carry Berroco, so I don't get to check it out IRL usually! TYSM

Hard = 2 sets of DPNs  (I'm always misplacing 1 or more of each set, so this is such a useful gift~)

Sender's Choice = stitch markers handmade of Michigan copper -- they are beautiful!  I'll have to try to take a closeup scan....
here we go:


Funny = a CLOCK!!  Did you make this yourself?  It's so cute & funny    Balls of yarn and it says:
"Who cares Let's Knit!"  

and last and best -----
The letter T = a THROW!! She crocheted the prettiest, softest throw evah!!
I am amazed that you made this in such a short amt of time!  It's fantastic
