When I mentioned to my Secret Santa I would be traveling for the next year and would like to learn to knit, I was expecting a pair of knitting needles and yarn, but ravensgirl2785 went all out!

Not only did she give me one of her own personal knitting needles, she included practice yarn, tangerine yarn, AND a pattern to knit a dishcloth!

Also included was a hand-felted alpaca fiber soap! Not only will it exfoliate my skin as I clean, the fiber can be used as a pet toy after the soap is gone! The last 2 gifts were wrapped and my family advised me to wait until Christmas to open them. One is most likely a coloring book (hence the colored pencils) and a novel. I can't wait to start using all my new gifts!!
