Good evening !

I'd love to share a photo tonight of the package full of knitting needles I received yesterday from Leah over at 365 days of Freemotion Quilting Filler Designs.    If you remember, last week I won her giveaway on the Pat Sloan radio interview, where she was giving away a copy of her new book and DVD.  Well, a couple of evenings later, before I went to bed, I noticed a new post from her.  She was cleaning out her quilting studio area and wanted to get rid of some things.  She asked anyone who wanted them to PLEASE leave her a comment letting her know what they'd like.  Well, I spoke up for the knitting needles, because I've been wanting to put together a 'knitting box' for Zoe (soon-to-be 7 year-old granddaughter) to grow into.  Well, Leah put it all into a box together, my giveaway winnings and the needles.  So generous ! 

 And her book is really great.....it's a small 5 x 7 inch spiral bound that you can keep by your machine for easy reference of new designs.

I've already put the 40-inch, size 13 Addi circular needle to good use, with the purple yarn, making this prayer shawl. 

 This pattern is a freebie from Lion Brand's website that I found online last year, whereupon I made one for myself in natural colored washable wool.  I hope that this Red Heart yarn will have a nice drape and will feel good against the neck.  It's intended as a gift at this point.

Now, Kelley (that's my daughter), I know that you read my blog to keep up with what's going on over this-a-way, so I'm going to ask you NOT to follow this link, while I share a photo of a Christmas gift that I finished.  PLEASE don't click over, 'cuz I know how you hate it when you find out what the gift is ahead of time.  No, it's not for you, but I know that you still like to be surprised.

Everyone else, here's the link if you'd like a peek.........

Cute?
