On Friday I received a little envelope from The Knittery - just a normal envelope, not big enough to contain yarn which I might have ordered while "sleep-shopping", so clearly that wasn't it.
So I opened it to find this:
A $20 voucher from my swap pal - thanks mystery pal!! How wonderful, and such good timing - I'd had a bad week at work last week and so it arrived at just the right time! Ooooh, now what will I get...more sock yarn? Maybe some 8ply merino/silk for another clapotis? Or some merino/silk laceweight? Decisions decisions....

You Know Who...well,you don't yet LOL!
you have a very nice swap pal RR. A treat like that is so well deserved. Make sure you let us know what you spend it on!
Thats a really nice idea, its great to choose something for yourself. I hope this week is better.
Birthday next week? Happy Birthday fellow Scorpio! What a great idea for a swap gift.
Sleep shopping - Hah! I do that too. I think I may have ordered some frying pans last week. I'm not sure! Love The Knittery yarn!
Oh, it's always nice to have a gift certificate, isn't it? I tend to spend them fifty different ways before deciding. The browsing is at least half the fun. Enjoy!
Oh, I love good decisions!
Oooh, lucky duck you! What a nice pick-me-up. Decisions, decisions....
"Sleep-shopping", LOL! I am SO going to use that one when the next parcel...um, make that parcels, arrive this week!
That's a lovely swap pal! I hope things get better this week for you.
I am sure that knitters have esp and know when to send parcels on just the right day. Lucky you!
Oh lovely, nothing much that's better than a gift voucher for a yarny shop!! I hope you enjoy the process of choosing, and well as the final purchase!
Sleep-shopping. LOL :)
hope you have a better week this week!
That's great...you can pick out what you want. Hopefully, that cheers you up.
Ah, retail therapy. Is there any better way to lift one's spirits after a shitty week? I hope this week works out better for you, and that you get a lot of fun out of your gift certificate. Yay for "free" yarn!
There is a tea cosy swap and I didn't know about it?!?!? Dammit, that's one I would've signed up for alright. My brain and energy levels have really got to get out limbo; there's cool stuff happening out there!
Well work may not have been much fun, but in reality what is more important, knitting, family and friends of course. What a lovely surprise there are certainly some lovely people out there and it must make your swap pal feel good knowing that they have made you smile and feel better.
what a sweet surprise! And happy birthday for next week, fellow Scorpion - I've got another week to go!
