Even the Glumster of Grim (me) experienced some Christmas cheer. That was greatly enhanced when I received a package from my Christmas Around The World secret swap pal.
Dorothea is the wonderful person who was meant to spoil me. And spoil me she did.
It is so touching that someone I don’t even know carefully selected gifts for me and
sent them all the way from Germany. It is hard to believe they are really for me!
I adore the little wooden ornaments and the darling kitten chocolates, the scented candle, the gummy bears and card! I am looking forward to knitting with the pretty Silk Garden Lite yarn and the Addi needles! One of the wrapping papers features a knitting Santa!
Dorothea also printed out the Calorimetry pattern for me and it is protected in a transparent sheet, perfect for the binder of patterns I’ve started.
What is most amazing is the beautiful knitted shawl. The colors are lovely and I can’t wait to wear it! I will treasure it for all time! Dorothea, you’ve really brightened the
end of my year. I cannot thank you enough for your kindness.

Hello Jenny and happy new year! Glad to see you got spoilt by your swap partner. I love the look of the choccies, but they’re probably too cute to eat (well nearly, lol). The shawl is *gorgeous* - it really suits you too. Having just had my first bash at lace knitting, I know that Dorothea must have worked hard on this for you. Wonderful :)
