My swap package arrived!

and a closeup of the mitts:



The generosity of a complete stranger is amazing. The work that went into these mitts, and the attention to detail it shows, makes me feel like the human race isn't all bad :) I hope that doesn't sound too mercenary!

My partner even made me 3 knitted bookmarks that I'm going to use for the LotR readalong in March. The sock needle holders will get some use with my second guld wristlet.

Speaking of guld wristlets, here's a process shot of the first one (now finished):



I think the dark needle holder will look perfect with the wristlet.

Hooray!
