SP5 is my first round with secret pals. I really hit the jackpot when I was matched
up. I have absolutely no idea who she
is, but my SP is someone I’d like to get to know. She makes jam AND shares. She has spent, apparently, an awful lot of
time going back in my archives to figure out what I like, what I do, and who I
am. She WROTE ME A LETTER! It’s one thing to send stuff, but she took the
time to write. This is to my secret pal.. I just got your
absolutely amazing package. I love it
and you knew that I LOVE alpaca, have wanted to try Knitpicks, yes I do use
stitch markers, and yours are lovely, and I think that Loop-d-loop is fascinating. I will probably make the first scarf pattern
from the green yarn. I will post
pictures, as soon as I catch my breath. My sister and her family arrived last night, making 7 people and three
cats (very unhappy, they may just run away for the duration) in a two room
house. It is WILD and WOOLY! I mean that in every sense of the word. My sister arrived with her own assortment of
knitting projects (say many bags) and has already gone over to the Merlin Tree
to draw out her own HitchHiker on my left over spalted maple. My niece’ fed ‘Sweetie Pie’, we went to pick
muchos blueberries and two pies are presently in the oven. I’m exhausted, blogging will take second
fiddle to the calamities, umm adventures. Please excuse me. I will get back
into a regular routine as soon as I can.

What a thoughtful secret pal! I had such bad luck with a couple of my secret pals that I didn’t bother to sign up this time. How fun for you to have such a kind pal!
So, Judy, do I understand that Dave will make a Hitchhiker out of your own wood? Like if I had some cherry or maple? How neat is that?! I would definitely have to get one if that’s the case!
What a special secret pal indeed! Say hi to your sister and family. Blueberry pies in the oven…yummmmm. I need a blueberry pie, maybe I have some for my bday.
I’m so glad your secret pal is good to you and your hitchhiker looks wonderful. Let me know when someone comes back to RI and I will pick mine up. su
Just clicked over from “At My Knit’s End”. Love that scape picture. I used to be The Pesto Queen, with my scapes. I planted none last fall (down from a few thousand, five years ago), but a few escapees made it through and I have replanted them and a head from the En Plein Aire Market (said with nose up!) at the Flo Gris Museum in Old Lyme, Conn.
