Fun Mail
After a productive day at work followed by a trip to the grocery store, there’s nothing I like more than coming home to a fun package.
I opened up the puffy envelope and peered inside:
It’s a package from E (of PokingMyEyesOut)!
Inside was a pair of Clover bamboos in US2 that I lent her so she could start her first Jaywalker and a handknit Soleil, wrapped in cute star tissue paper!
E had a … bad experience with gauge on Soleil and her version ended up too large. Rather than frog Soleil and reknit it, she decided to mail it to me!
I tried it on almost immediately after I put away the groceries. As I walked back to the living room, DH walked in the front door and gave Soleil the husbandly more-than-a-nod of approval. I guess the plunging neckline and yarnover holes at the hem are acceptable (HA).
Thanks, E! I love it — but I’m sorry it didn’t work out for you! [and hey, that's one less pattern I have to knit... ]
Love packages. So glad Soliel found a home!
wow what a nice surprise! and what a great gauge accident! my mom thinks she will be recipeint of one of those accidents…she’s dreaming though. i have to make that top by the way. too cute!
