Sorry to James for the delayed posting! It's been a crazy-busy week and my tardiness does not reflect my excitement!

This is my first RedditGifts exchange. I wasn't sure what to expect. My Likes/Dislikes were scattered and silly; so I was interested to see what would come of it.

First came the book: Traditional Scandinavian Knitting.

I thought it was extremely thoughtful because I had mentioned my Danish genealogy and my envy of people who could knit. But, to be honest, I thought "geez, this is a great book but my comment on being envious was because I am HORRIBLE at knitting." I've tried to knit many times and just can't get into the act. But I love knitted things! My mom is knitting master. My friends are knitting masters. And, then there is me. I've made a few sweatbands but that's about it.

But the following day a magical machine appeared at my apartment: Knifty Knitter!!!!!!!!

I was so flabbergasted! Thanks, James!!! It was perfect and I can't wait to try it out and make some of the cool ponchos and scarves pictured on the back.

Super awesome awesomeness.... I just hope I can make my giftee just as happy!
