[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!

What fun! I really love those fingerless gloves.
Silken Skeins,
I’m interested in the Sanquhar Midge & Flea gloves you showcased on your blog. I haven’t seen an installment past part III. Are you continuing thiese gloves??? I’d like to see an update, or know wether you have abandoned them. Hopefully you’ve continued. What I’ve seen of them, they are exquisite!!!
Or, you could email me direct at marcher51@sbcglobal.net
Thanks, and best,
Marc
