Needle Exchange

We have had a busy weekend. I taught my final knitting class yesterday, my parents' had my twin brother and me over for cake, and my hubby went to a stew dinner. Upon arriving home last night, I found a small parcel in my mail box. Behold the amazing goodies my Needle Exchange Pal, Marianne, sent me.

There are two skeins of SWTC Karaoke. It is a lovely heather green, and is 50% soy silk/50% wool. Next we have a beautiful emerald green and blue Lantern Moon straight needle holder. Finally, she sent not one but two amazing hand crafted needles. The straight needles are from Peace Fleece. They are milled in Maine, then sent to Russia to be hand painted. Stunning! The piece de resistance are the Mango Moon circular needles. What makes them so special you ask? They are hand carved HORN needles. They are truly gorgeous, and will be a treasured addition to my needle collection.

I had to do a little happy dance in my kitchen last night. I have never seen any of the things she sent me anywhere (and I visit a lot of yarn stores). Thank you so much Marianne!
