2006-09-13 * Prezzy!

Yesterday, this arrived in the mail

A thrilling package from my lovely friend Anne. Do you see how pretty it is? And the amazing "handmade by" card with the elegant crossed knitting needles beneath?

More wonder awaited me-- this was inside the lovely package:

No, my hands weren't shaking, and no there isn't a filter on that photo-- that is the true glorious, cozy, snuggly, fuzziness of the luscious kidd mohair lace scarf Anne knitted for me! And just in time too, as a cold front is sweeping down from the Yukon (yes! from the Yukon! they said on the news!) and bringing back the "summer" weather. But now I'm prepared, and a warm throat will make all the difference.

Otherwise it was a busy meeting day today. I got to have my weekly chat & nosh with Toast'n'Candy, who will be test driving my business card holder design for me- I hope it holds up! The extent of my crafty activities was this:

Pinning pattern pieces to the pretty, mossy baby-wale corderoy I picked for my kicky little fall dress (yes, it is short, but will be worn over my jeans to avoid scandal of any kind). Turns out I don't have enough fabric for the facing (they don't have 45" fabric in Europe, apparently, so didn't warn me about that on the back of the pattern), so I will have to either face it with something else, or perhaps bind the neck and armholes with seam binding instead... we'll see if I get around to finishing it tomorrow!

coveting: oh please, bring back the weather from Baja and can this weather from the Yukon!
