Finally, week late pics of my Shimmer tank :]
Self designed pattern. First one ever. I'm proud :]

Next up: Felted bag [hot pink and black, using Lamb's Pride] - my first ever felting project, unless you count a few swatches I did a couple days ago.
& probably Ginger from Rowan's Summer Tweed. I bought and wound a skein of it in the color Vanity that I fell in love with a few weeks ago, to see if I liked working with the yarn - I've heard not so fabulous things about it, but me - I LOVE it, I had no problems knitting with it at all, and I like the unique texture. I like it a lot. Infact, even though the tank top only calls for 4 skeins in it in my size, I'm tempted to buy a full bag of 10, or maybe even more. I love having full bags of yarn. It's part of what inspired me to buy 9 skeins of Shimmer even though I was almost positive I'd only need 6 at the most. 9 was all LYS had and I liked buying them all.

In my head I'm justifying it as, "Well, I can have a Summer Tweed OUTFIT. A tank and a jacket to match!" - but I don't know if I would want to do two projects in the same yarn. We'll see. I just want the bag.

I want to make another post for this, but I got a package from my WONDERFUl secret pal! I should really take pictures, but I'm without batteries. She [or is it he?] sent me a wonderful package with some great smelling candles, candle holder, body scrub [I used it this morning, and my skin feels great] - annnnd some awesome Bone Knitting Needles, which are totally fun, and.....the best of all of all of all of all.....Sweater Design in Plain English by Maggie Righetti. I adore it. Adore it. It's going to be so useful. I had listed it somewhere on the Secret Pal quiz thing, in the part where it asks what books I've been wanting or something like that, but I didn't expect to get it at all. I also got a cute postcard included in the package, and a nice book mark :]

As for the person I'm secret pal to...I'm having fun spoiling her secretly :] Can't leave any big hints, but I'm on the hunt for another interesting package to send. My secret pal has inspired me :]

Hope life is well.
