A Sweet Surprise
I got mail!
To arrive home after a busy Friday at work, before an even busier Friday night and see a package stuffed into my little mailbox was the sweetest surprise imaginable. I know that this kind of squishy package can only mean more wool, or knitted stuff, or fibery goodness. This package is part of the Pay It Forward Challenge that I signed up for in November. Each person that signs up for the challenge will get a handmade gift, but they must promise to give 3 handmade gifts over the course of the year. 
Thank you, thank you, thank you to Michelle from TheSweetSheep.com who sent me the most scrumptious blend of merino, silk and angora yarn. It is soft and warm–hard to imagine wanting to wear something warm now that May is almost over…

Self striping, softly spun singles…..the most perfect alliteration….almost too perfect to knit with. I need the perfect project. I wonder if it will go well with my impulse purchase of discount merino/alpaca/silk
It would certainly be a vibrant project….
I have given away one pay it forward gift to Lisa who told me that these mitts were useful for this past cold snowy winter.
It warms my heart to know that there are people out there who are paying it forward, spreading the joy of handmade crafts far and wide. I hope that the chain that we’ve started will continue.
How can you pay it forward today?
