SP11 comes to an end
Yesterday’s mail brought the final package from my SP11. After months of mystery, I finally know who she is: Paula! Over the course of our correspondence, I learned a few things about her, such as her love of sock knitting. After taking a look at her blog, my first thought was, “Wow! She really knows her sock knitting!” (Pop over there yourself, and you’ll see what I mean.)
This collection of bundles garbed in holiday-themed paper, ribbons, and bags quickly transformed into this:
Tea–four bags in a handmade tea wallet (Paula, did you sew this yourself?), and a tin of Adagio’s candy cane tea (which is just right for the season!).
Two row counters–a small round one to pop onto my needle, and a Kach-Kacha. Talk about a coincidence: just the night before, I was thinking about the Kach-Kacha that had mysteriously disappeared once a certain two-year-old got her hands on it, and I was wondering if I should get another one. Good timing, Paula!
Christmas-themed notecards, tissues*, and a magnet. And a set of mini-ornament stitch markers with bells on the ends. As you can see, Sylvia could hardly wait to investigate those “pretty shiny things.”
A tin of green tea mints (I love these things), a copy of Kim Hargreaves’ Pipsqueaks
Thanks, Paula, for sending such wonderful treats and being a terrific SP11 partner!
(Here’s one funny thing: Paul’s upstream SP11 pal was Deborah, who was my downstream SP11 pal!)

Awesome goodies! Isn’t it a small world. Paula emailed me the other day and told me she had you!!!
I was afraid you would get Pipsqueaks, since I got it months ago! I made the tea wallet-it is my first one. Mine came out upside down, and backwards and I had to take the whole thing apart and resew it! I love Etsy-I got the pattern there. I knitted the mitten on dpns, which I try to avoid otherwise. I had fun collecting gifties and spoiling you. Happy Holidays
Great stuff. Can’t wait to see that book!
