This was for my upstream SP5, Weaselrina. She was a wonderful upstream - I asked to split the SPing with my sister, who had just gotten into knitting, and was in a tough spot with health and money issues. Weaselrina gifted her with great patterns, needles, yarn, and accessories for a new knitter. I never blogged about the last package - unfortunately I was quite sick with pneumonia when I got it - there were four skeins of worsted weight Misti Alpaca in green (lurve!), three cedar balls, two skeins of blue Lamb's Pride Worsted, and one Vogue Knitting book (which wasn't even available here at the time!). (Plus, one Fuzzy Feet pattern, for the yarn - and yes, we really need slippers up here!). One of the cedar balls was immediately grabbed by the cats, so I quickly popped the other two into WIP (aka UFO) project bags... the books and patterns live with their brethren, the Lamb's Pride went with my sister, so here is what is left to photograph:
Green Misti Alpaca worsted:
Oddly enough, the Mrs. Beetons pictured above were the first pattern that I've knit out of the online magazine, Knitty. This used up bits of leftover luxury yarn, that I felt bad leaving to languish away unloved in the bits 'n' bobs bag. The green on top is Elsebeth Lavold Angora, the light green is Kidsilk Haze in Jelly, and the white peeping out is Plymouth Baby Alpaca DK. The beads are czech glass in green and bronze.
