Thanks to my SUPER AMAZING Secret Santa, that is. I got a huge box from Amazon today at work, and had to wait several long hours before I could get home and see what my Santa had sent me. AND IT'S AMAZING.

Amazing. Amazon. Hmmm.

I'd mentioned that I had recently gotten really into crochet, and wanted to expand my knowledge of needlecraft into the world of knitting. So they went above and beyond, and got me a huge set of beautiful bamboo knitting needles, a lovely floral knitting needle carrying case (floral print is my FAVORITE!) and a book to help me learn how to cast on, cast off, and knit like a fiend. I'm so incredibly thankful and grateful for this amazingly thoughtful gift. You are a really wonderful person and I totally appreciate it! <3 <3 <3

ETA: holy guacamole, there's more. Yarn. Beautiful hand dyed yarn from the Etsy shop of another redditor, no less, which makes this either the best reddit stalking ever or one heck of an amazing coincidence. I got 500 yards of vibrantly dyed squishy sock goodness and a bonus 3 mini skeins in some super cute colorways. Once I finish hyperventilating I can't wait to knit something up.

ETA 2: for the curious, here's the Etsy shop. https://www.etsy.com/shop/CelestialStrings
