Oh my goodness, I came home early from work and had the most wonderful package awaiting me! My Secret Santa went all out, and in addition to three skeins of amazing bulky wool/alpaca from DROPS, she also sent me a fantastic postcard and candy!! I couldn't be happier. I'm right about to take my preliminary exam for my PhD - so this was wonderful timing! I won't be able to start knitting with it until afterward (a little under two weeks), but I can't wait to start browsing patterns. The color is absolutely gorgeous, I love everything :D Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you!!
