I had a lovely surprise in the post today. It's really made my day at the end of a pretty grotty week.
A while ago Vic contacted me to ask if I had any yarn left from the Round Dishcloth as she was crocheting a sweater for her niece and was running out of yarn. I'd bought a pack of six balls from Lidl and it was only 100% cotton so it was very cheap. So, of course I sent as much as she needed plus a bit...just in case!
Fast foward to today. Vic sent me a lovely parcel to say thank you!
In it was a cute card with Iced Gems on (do you remember those?), a bag of very tasty , very posh white chocolate raspberry eggs, a lovely little suitcase with choc eggs inside and a stunningly beautiful crocheted book mark.
I'm already tucking into the posh chocs! The book mark will be used in my knitting books which I have a habit of leaving open so the spine gets knackered and the little tin will be used for stitch markers etc when pickle has eaten all the chocs!
I certainly hadn't expected anything in return for the yarn so thank you SO much for the parcel Vic! Vic doesn't have a blog but here is her Ravelry page. Isn't that sweater cute?

The Bookmark is gorgeous - and do you know I've just realised I hadn't "friended" you in Ravelry.... how did that happen???!!!! - Duly amended now! :)
Ah good knitting karma - can't beat it - that is a lovely book mark :o)
What a wonderful surprise. The chocolate raspberry eggs sound delicious.
You are a lucky woman...those goodies look yummy...cookies and wine...sounds so good...to me!
Love that bookmark. I was sick on iced gems a a party when I was 5 so can't look at them without feeling a bit queasy....even 40 or so years later.....!
Lovely gifts!
What a lovely thank you. Good knitting karma strikes again!
