Thank you Rachel!!!

Rachel is ofcourse the name of my wonderfull SP9 and I am am really ashamed for posting pictures and thank you’s so late (I received her final package a week and a half ago! Shame on me!) .I was however busy with starting my new temp job, the positive thing I am not a secretary any more and don’t plan on being one ever again.Back to my sweet secret pal. I want to thank her for being so thoughtfull and especially for accepting me flaking out from time to time. I’ve really enjoyed chatting with you over e-mail which was as fun as being spoiled. So thank you!
Back to my presents, this is what I got:

A box of very nice chocolates (which my boyfriend keeps ogling), some Brittanny birch needles (no she didn’t sent me one, the rest I am testing out on a sock that probably will never be finished). And some lovely Texere Tweed yarn 3 skeins. Beautiful colour by the way!

I think it might be perfect for a felted bag of some sorts (maybe I’ll design it myself).
i can actually ride my bike to my new job which I am very pleased about (saves money and is excercize!). But my last bike was stolen which is what you get for living in Amsterdam. So I decided to buy a brand spanking new one instead of spending my money on some second hand wreck. To deterre thieves I had my boyfriend customize it a bit with..

ARGYLES ofcourse, the boy just can’t stope spray painting argyles, I love it!
Haven’t you been knitting you might ask…..well,yes I have, on this:

Evelyn Clark’s Swallotail lace shawl from fall 2006 Interweave knits. I am really enjoying it and I am using lifelines instead of frogging the thing three times and throwing it in the corner. Sounds better right? I haven’t touched Sienna or finished swatching for Venezia. Sometimes you just have to wait for the right time.
