This week, I have been making the parcel postie earn his wage. A couple of fibre purchases (There’s no point letting poor innocent fibre sit languishing in someone’s shop, now is there?) and a couple of lovely surprises!
First up, a parcel from the lovely Donna at Randomknits. She knitted a gorgeous little cardi for Tille, out of the SOFTEST hand dyed sock yarn EVER. Just adorable, and perfect for spring over a little dress or top.
Oh, and y’know… just this ole thing. A skein of Plucky Knitter MCN!! Can you say smooshy? Yes. Excessive fondling has been had. Thank you Donna 
It truly brightened up an awful week!
And then, I got a Rav PM from someone saying ‘Have you gotten the parcel I sent yet?’ Huh? OH WAIT, this was from a lady to whom I sent a spare part-ball of discontinued Bendigo Rustic, so she could finish a vest for her son. I’d totally forgotten, and it was more a Random Act of Kindess on my part, because I love helping out a Knitter In Kneed. Heh.
What was in the parcel? A thank you note, a pic of her son wearing his vest (Adorable!) and a knitted hat for Tille So sweet. Thank you!
AND another surprise parcel find in the PO box, another bag full of clothes from Dr Cris for Tille (we are in hand me down heaven) and the crochet hook I left at her place. It’s like Christmas!
See, I always knew knitters are kind folk, but this week has been proof. Thank you, lovely knitterly friends. I hope I can pay it forward soon..
Char!! don’t you think that you’ve paid it forward a million times helping out Lucy and Me (and I mean Bluemeanie Lucy not baby Lucy) to get our shit together when we had new babies on the way! You don’t need to pay it forward.. this is more like your karma dividend from all the great stuff you did to help us out!
