[Oh dear, make that "yesterday", as I didn't get this post finished before midnight.]Â
My Secret Santa Sister’s present arrived, and I was persuaded to open it a little early – oh, they had to struggle as I resisted bravely. [You do believe me, don't you?]
 First there was the big box …
… then inside it, there was a huge tote bag tied with pretty glittery ribbon ..
Inside that, there were  …
… two small gift bags, a knitting calendar (a pattern a day, I think), the two latest issues of Interweave Knits, a hardback notebook with an embroidered flower on the front (not as shiny as the flash makes it seem) and a bag of gorgeous wool roving.
In each gift bag, there was a Polish mug [my SS and my DH share a Polish background] with some Hershey Kisses in it topped by an angel ornament
But the best of all were …
… warm socks with cabled cuffs, matching fingerless mitts and an earflap style hat in Noro, which fits very well.
I tried to get a picture of the cable detail, but it still doesn’t show well.
Last but certainly not least, the tote bag itself, which is enormous, with 3 huge pockets on the front – very useful in a tote bag for crafters.
Didn’t Nancy … I mean Secret Santa … do well? She really spoiled me!
