The box was HUGE & everything was very pretty in what looked like handmade purple tissue paper & then packed with purple shredded paper! I opened it with DD & she tried to lay claim to the contents!
First to be opened was this
Rowan Big Wool
It's a beautiful colour & enough to do something with especially when I opened this
Rowan: Little Book of Big Accessories
At the moment I'm leaning towards the mittens with a scarf from what's left out of the two balls.
next up was
pattern for the 1 skein wonder
It won't really suit me at the moment but would look fantastic on dd - a small project for next spring I think or for me in a few months when the exercise regime starts to show results.
Then I opened these
Thorntons Chocolates
yummmy - I managed to resist until DH had taken photos & then scoffed most of them!
Next I opened
200g of Sirdar Salsa DK
It's a beautiful tweedy colour but I've got no plans for it yet - it'll come to me soon.
Then
wooden bead stitch markers
and
pink motifs
and then
Rowan Lightweight DK
Finally I found another small package hidding under all the shredded paper & found these
buttons
Aren't they cute?
Thank you so much SP - I've really enjoyed the exchange & hope that you loved your gifts as much as I did.
I've been sending to The Stripey Tiger in Australia. Due to postage charges I sent everything surface so she still hasn't received the 3rd & BIGGEST package. But keep an eye on her blog & hopefully you'll see it all soon.

Welcome back!
I haven't taken part in any secret pal swaps yet, but seeing everyone's lovely parcels, I'm beginning to think that I should :)
Welcome back ... lovely to see all the goodies your SP - Emily - sent you. The photo's really do the package justice - lucky you.
Hi Emily
Yes I guessed you right - thank you so much for all the lovely presents I've really enjoyed them. I'll carry on enjoying them all as I knit them - keep an eye out for the results.
Out of interest, what gave me away?
Hi Emily
First of all I already read your blog so I noticed your writing style, usage of words & also that you always write the first person 'I' in lower case.
In emails you said that you were in the UK & that it was also your first Secret Pal.
Finally periods of silence coincided with lapses in updates on your blog - e.g. when you lost Pixel.
But please don't be upset that I worked out who you were - I was found out too!
Cheers
