If you all still remember, a few months ago, sometime in February, I helped Ailsa of Pick Up Sticks with her blogger template and gave it a brand new look. In exchange for the template, Ailsa spoiled me rotten with gifts!!!
First of all, she got me a copy of Victorian Lace Today. I’m definitely not a lace/shawl knitter yet, but I hope that I’ll be able to knit at least a few things out of that book!! There are a few projects that I like :up: but I’m not quite sure if I got the know hows.
Secondly, I got another surprise parcel today (hehe…not really a surprise because Ailsa did email me to let me know that she has posted the parcel)!! However, they’re gorgeous gorgeous presents!! When I opened the package, I saw a beautiful knitted gift bag in pink :yuck: (I think it’s the Bridal Purse) and inside, I found two lovely skeins of Eki Riva Babysilk in 8 ply, and one beautiful skein of Artisan NZ Merino Lace Weight Yarn.
Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you!! I love them all very much!!! :heart: :heart: :heart:

How are you?? How is ‘Leo”??? What a lovely present!! I have looked at Sharon’s book and it is divine!!! I am pretty sure you have the know how too!!!
What a wonderful pressie, and I am sure that she is very thankful for you doing up her blog banner too. I cant wait to see what you knit out of the beautiful pink yarn, and I love the lacey bag, so pretty.
Very cool! Enjoy!
That’s a gorgeous purse - you lucky girl! Alisa’s blog looks good - looks like your blog designing is a good barter business.
How’s Leon going?
Oh Ailsa is so kind. You lucky thing! Enjoy the gifts.
