Santa was very kind to this knitter. As the resident Santa in my home I did some knitterly things for myself.
I ordered some fiber and sock yarn from the Woolery during a holiday sale. I picked these out specifically but when the box came, I had forgot what I ordered so I left it in the box for my stocking. I also ordered a mystery box from KnitCircus to surprise myself and when it came I left the box closed.
On Christmas Eve, I opened the box and closed my eyes. Then carefully pulled the items out and put into my sock without peeking. I really really like surprises and this was about the best way I could manage it. I came away with the following
- 250g of Bluefaced Leicester in Gray
- 250g of Corriedale in Natural Stripes (brown/white)
- Uneek Sock Set in Zebra
- KnitCircus Greatest of Ease in a OOAK Prototype (pink)
- KnitCircus Opulence in Prototype (Orange)
- KnitCircus Spectacular in Clear Skies Ahead (Blue singles yarn)
Absolutely no plans for any of these items other than they brought me joy on Christmas morning. Does anyone else ever go to these lengths to surprise themselves?
Happy Knitting!!
My Tangled Yarn Knitting Adventures 
Well, maybe not the closing eyes but I’m seriously thinking about doing it. Especially since I don’t need another yarn advent calendar!! So tempting to put one together this spring and I definitely won’t remember what skeins I picked by December. I buy myself most of the Christmas gifts “from” my husband. I did send the links to knitting stuff I wanted to my daughter so I’m very happy with my presents from her. 🙂
I bought all my presents this year and wrapped them without peeking. So I was (mostly) surprised and didn’t get anything I didn’t like/want.
