many things
Thank you ladies, I am now regaining. Today let me share the beauty of indredible package from my secret pal 7:
These were all inside of one package. Each time when I receive her gift, I am really touched her careful wrapping and gentle messages both told and untold....
I unwrapped them and stunned....how beautiful! How generous! I LOVE THEM ALL SO MUCH! Beaded burgundy purse, silver plated photo frame, English teas I consume everyday, a knitting-image card, a heavenly soft ball of RYC Soft Lux lavender color, and friends, you want to look at this with me:
Yummy.....my mouse watered(joke)....she is living in England and she selected this increadibly gorgeous sock yarn around her local place. The brand name is "curious yarns" and the name of colorway is "ocean", woo-hoo! The photo cannot show the accurate color of yarn, it is soooo .....overwhelming. This is absolutely my yummiest sock yarn in my current stash. I actually so much in love with this yarn so I would not have any courage to use it....just for eye, for now. I put it with Soft Rux in my yarn bascket in the living loom, I admire them every day.....thank you thank you thank you, my pal!!
But after this package, she even sent me this:

Gorgeous stitch markers, handmade by herself!! Wow! These are small ones and good for smaller progects like sock or fine yarns. Hey, I am so lucky my pal is so vastly generous, nice....thank you again, my pal! I really, really love your gifts!
So....I had better grounding a bit. But I cannot, when I am dreaming my coming spring/summer projects...I've got the yarns for them, I am ready now for:

Gwen. The yarn is same as original, Rowan's handknit DK cotton but slightly different shade. Mine is rather turcoise blue.

Sea Horse: without sea horse for mine. So it should be turned out a simple tank. The yarn is like for Gwen, same as original, Cotton Glace but other shade. This time mine is eggplant deep purple.
I have so much more project plans in my head, but always I am so late for current season's new designs to knit, so this time I would start by the newest seasonal design!
But for now...last week I just happened to hear that my dear friend who was recently expanded enoumously had got her baby girl, so I am knitting this:

Visibly I am knitting two pairs of baby sock. The complete bigger one is for another friend's 6-months baby boy, and the smaller one is for newborn girl. Let me explain: I started for the newborn but it turned out that it is a bit too big for her, and I remembered that I had to knit another gift for another baby and started a cashmerino hat in February, but could not get an opportunity to meet the mother at that time and the winter passed by, I abondoned that wool hat imcompleted. So far I decided to give this socks for him, besides the yarn is a new cotton blend sock yarn from Italy. That is perfect for everyone, isn't it??
And just for your info, my Electra is resting aside while I knit these tiny bits, but don't worry I made my resolution to complete Electra BEFORE starting any other spring project. Oh you bet I can't. you know me....we'll see, next time!

Konnichiwa, Trico-san!
I'm so happy that you liked the gifts I sent you. I wish I could send you more wool, but it's so expensive in the UK. I would love to keep you as my 'spoilee', because I really like to read your blog. Each blog entry is so sincere and generous! I hope you eventually use the sock yarn from Curious Yarns.
Take care,
Impressionknits
