Thanks Stripey

I had the great pleasure of spoiling The Stripey Tiger in Secret Pal 5 last year. We hit it off & have kept in touch since the exchange finished. Recently I have continued to spoil her by sending a ball of Opal Rainforest Tiger & the Tiger Cubs as she is expecting her third baby next month.

Who could resist with a name like The Stripey Tiger? She just had to have her own Tiger yarn & the baby some tiger socks.

Anyway - the tables have turned!

On Wednesday this arrived:

I was really good & didn't open it until DH came home as I wanted the photo above as the paper was so pretty. It contained these:

Stuff Sack

Handmade by her own fair hand this is the best present ever! It's already been used at the Art Gallery & at the swimming pool whilst DD was training last night. I can see this being used ALL the time for socks, sleeves & other small items. There is also something else about this that I can't share now - will do soon after Sunday.

This yarn is really beautiful - blues & greens with a purple thread through it. My first thoughts were Branching Out. Can anybody suggest any other patterns?

Really cute & I'll have to hang on to this one!

Thanks very much Stripey & I'm sure if you do start selling the Stuff Sacks they'll be VERY popular! Cheers!!!

I can really see both of them working well together. As for the wrapping paper I can't believe it is wrapping paper it looks that good!
