One Skein Gifts

Today was a much better day, and thanks to all of you who gave nice comments, you are so wonderful.

My One Skein Pal sent me my second skein and my knitted gift all in one package, and it turned up just when I needed a smile put back on my face.

She sent me a lovely skein of New Zealand yarn from Utiku Yarns it is 100% wool in a some lovely green shades, I love green. I never use to as when I went to Catholic School as a young girl, I am talking primary school, we wore Bottle Green uniform, and I wasn't that impressed with that colour for many years, but over the past probably 6 or so years, I have been getting back into green colours. My knitting gift was a Clapotis Hat, yes you read it right, A Clapotis Hat, in lovely colours, which probably won't go to bad with my green Clapotis, my One skein Pal also made some stitch markers for me, thank you so much to Knitting with Zen for my wonderful gifts.

I'm glad that today is going a little better. The colors of the hat are gorgeous! Though I am now going to be noodling all day on how to knit a clapotis hat. :)

Great pile of loot! My primary school colours were purple and green, a bit like Wimbledon.

Good luck for the next few days.
