Dear Abi - it finally arrived!

You dear, dear girl!

I assume you sent this out sometime in August before you left on your world tour and honestly, I had given up on it.  But Monday, when I went downstairs to get the mail, look what was waiting for me!

I can’t imagine what pocket dimension it has been hidden in all this time, but I was overjoyed to see that it had finally arrived and wasted no time at all in opening it!





What absolutely beautiful yarn!  It was incredibly kind of you to send it for Dulaan projects - believe me, it will come in very handy and will make some very warm, very lovely things :) In fact, I can’t wait to get my fingers in it!

It’s a shame that the hat for your dad didn’t fit him, but it is a welcome addition to the Dulaan bag.  Some child will be very happy to have it, I imagine and it’s such nice work :) It must have been hard for you to part with!

The super-bulkies are just scrumptious - both to the hand and the eye and I will have to give some thought as to how best to use them since I haven’t worked with yarn this size before.  They are very soft and cushy and so I expect anything made out of them will be very warm and comfortable :) The wools are very nice too - maybe I can make something that matches that nifty little hat!





But this was completely unexpected and is completely enchanting!  Merino lace weight in periwinkle!  Be still my heart!





That is so my color!  I already have an idea about how I’d like to use it.  I have never had a fancy scarf before and I’m thinking this might be just the thing to make it out of.  And the little ribbon just makes it all the more special.

I have to tell you that I have missed Noblin Knits (which is, I imagine, on hiatus until next June) and sometimes go and look at your Summer Nights, wondering about taking a stab at it!

Thank you so much for your generosity and thoughtfulness.  Wherever in the world you happen to be, I hope you’re having the time of your life!

Warmest best wishes -
Robbyn
