EDIT: The submission form cut off most of my little essay. Let me type it again.

littleChubs, having seen that my taste in yarn is pretty hopelessly mundane (I love cotton and dishcloth-making so much), nevertheless found a way to give me something really cool. The heather-gray yarn is organic cotton, and the brick-red one is recycled. I had never even heard of recycled yarn before! (This also ties into my love of things that mean people like to call "tree-hugging hippie crap.") I'm looking forward to throwing together a pair of cloths with these, and I'll be sure to put pictures of them on this page!

But I think what I like even more is the hook littleChubs threw in. This thing is gorgeous! It's rosewood, and feels so much nicer in my hand than the bamboo and aluminum I've been using. It's silky smooth with a perfectly round shaft (distressingly, not as common a feature as you'd think in crochet hooks) and a super-comfortable thumb rest. The finish is silky smooth and flawless. Seriously, I find myself picking this hook up and just slowly turning it around in my hands for several-minute stretches. I love, love, love it.

Thank you so much, littleChubs. This is awesome.
