Another SP6 package, out of favour with fibers

It seems that I am out of fiber's favor lately.
The underwire in my bra not only has puctured through the lining into my underarm, but for what seemes to be no reason at all, the strap just broke.
I have recently found holes in the underarms of two of my sweaters.
And All the aprons I put on at work are torn or ripped.

Is it tattering season??

I got a package from my secret pal today!
She (I'm assuming) sent me a box of bath salts and soaps, a copy of KnitLit too, and some facy schmancy beaded stitch markers (That would also make fabulous earrings... idea!)
Thank you very much to my thoughtful pal!

I've been very sick with some kind of throat infection thing lately, and my doctor keeps misdiagnosing me. I am off to see an ear, nose, and throat doctor on Thursday. I apologize that I haven't been posting much, but I actually don't have a lot of knitting going on right now because of being sick, and also making up schoolwork from being sick two weeks ago.

My honey Neil and I are going to be having our one year anniversary on Saturday, which I am very excited about. Hopefully I will be well enough then to go to dinner with him. Wish me good health!
I will always wish the same of you.

And finally, a prayer for you and your knitting:
May your sheep be woolly,
Your dye vats be vibrant,
Your spindles spin steady,
May your yarn never tangle,
May your stitches be strong and even,
Your needles be smooth and far from hungry pets,
May your projects never bore you,
May your imagination and creativity be infinite,
May your hard work be appreciated,
Your care always returned trifold,
Your garments go to whoever shall need them most,
and never ever shrink (unless you want them to.)

SP6 Package

I got home to find a package from my secret pal!

It's a little hat kit with two skeins of alpaca/acrylic blend in a chunky pink color (very soft,) a set of Fiddlesticks wooden dpn, a card, and a chocolate bar (from Trader Joe's, my fave!)

Thank you very much pal!
I can't wait to start my first winter-prep project!

Usually by mid-October I have my winter-prep going strong, but until this week, it's been humid and 70 degrees out. This week it's been rainy, damp, cold, and blustery. The leaves are finally falling, but I think mostly because they're being forced off the trees, still green, by wind and rain.
So with a chill finally in the air, warmer garments are on the brain, and a chunky pink hat is the perfect way to start!
