Yay!!! Lookie what I got! I love paper and pens! I am seriously always buying pens and hoarding them because everyone keeps taking them out of the drawer or my purse.... :( Not these. I am hiding them in the place I hide my candy..... :D And the paper, too. Thank you, secret pal! :) Oh, and the butterfly is a hint of what she is making me.... Now she's got me guessing. ;P Oh and an update on the garterlac dishcloth. I ripped it out. :( I got to the part where it says 'pick up 8 stitches...' got that. But then it says: "*K 8, turn, K7, SKP, turn.* Repeat between the *s another seven times..." That is where I said 'huh?' Do you literally do that seven times or are you supposed to be able to count out K7, K6, each time? Cuz that's where I can't do it.... :( Oh well. Maybe someday it will just come to me out of the blue. Or someone will show me what it means.... Well have a nice Monday everyone!Monday, March 05, 2007

Cute gifts, Tina! I'm sure you're also spoiling your other secret pal ;)
ReplyDeleteThe garterlac looks hard, and I wouldnt attempt it since I'm just a beginner in knitting. But I think you'll be able to do it next time ;)
Thanks Mimi. Maybe I'll try it again and take it in to an LYS and see if someone in there knows how to do it?
ReplyDeleteI am trying to spoil my secrt pal, and my secret pal is spoiling me. :D It's fun though. I haven't done a secret pals swap in a year, I think.
