Undeserving I might have been, but I've been thoroughly spoilt by my spoiler, Ruth*. She sent me a box filled with individually wrapped goodies:
What patience and care to wrap each thing separately! What's more, some providence made the box arrive on my birthday, so you can imagine what fun I had unwrapping everything.
Lots of yarny goodness: Debbie Bliss Maya in 05
A lovely pale blue cashmere lacewight from Hipknits:
It looks good enough to eat! Some more from Hipknits, silk lacewight this time:
Then some yarn from Handpainted yarn which I'm hoping to knit into a purse:
Then the yarns spun (or dyed) by Ruth herself for me: This is 50% wool and 50% silk
12 hanks of this mmmmmMohair:
Doesn't it look like a sheep?!
My first wood-y hooks (the packs said needles, but I'm guessing 😉 they're hooks, and made of Indian wood, besides!):
Then this monster thing of beauty:
My dream-come-true! Tunisian hooks in ebony and bamboo:
And to go with them, naturally,
This book is now out of print, but I have a copy now, yay!
Also, this thread (rayon, linen…):
Some non-yarny goodness:
A thriller:
Strawberry soap:
Chocolate:
Mind that drool puddle!
And tantantara…the ultimate spoilingness:
It's official, you may please refer to me as Princess or Your Spoiled Highness from now on.

My goodness, that is quite a package! Look forward to seeing what you turn it all into. *What* is that large hook for?! And the midnight blue skein is gorgeous.

Hey! Glad to see it all here! (and so sorry for being slack and not popping by sooner)
Now, I wonder whether there’s any chocolate left? 😉
It was lovely to spoil you, and I’m so pleased it arrived on your birthday, of all days, and that it arrived at all! xx
