Secrets

Well, the secret knitting is finally done for now, though it's not un-secret yet.

But, in secrets that are no longer, I got a package from my no-longer-secret pal today!



This was an interesting swap, in that we weren't allowed to spend any money other than shipping. We sent yarn from stash, things we had crafted, etc.



My fabulous pal, mugwump, sent me some yarn, some patterns, an adorable project bag which I think she sewed, and a knit hemp grocery bag!

In fact, she did such a great job that she sent me a couple skeins of Melody (bottom left, 1st picture) in a color that I already have! No worries as this month I'll be sending her a package which will probably include some socks out of that very yarn!

And, as for things that aren't secret at all, I was at Stitch & Pitch on Thursday!



My Summer Sox were the selected project, and I got quite a bit done! I also had fun with a few knitting buddies, including my friend Nicole who has never been to a baseball game!



She was knitting this lace bolero:



Sadly the game itself was extremely boring, with no runs for the first 6 innings. Good thing we had our knitting!
