Love is in the air
Chris and Jeanne sent me the most amazing package!
Look at that bag with all the flowers on it 
It is so bright and cheery! There was also a lovely notebook, a tape measure (can’t have enough of those), a sheepy Pez, little boot point protectors and a tiny sock blocker (so cute)!
There was also yarn Panda Cotton which I’ve been wanting to try and a very coveted hand-dyed sock yarn – dyed by none other than Chris herself! Don’t you love that card
Jeanne sent the most amazing bag (oops, I’ve already stashed something in it), Socks that Rock (Jeanne, you are a mind-reader because I really wanted some more of that) and the most amazing magnets of all the cats, pao and a really special one of me and my mum. I have to say I shed a tear when I saw that one! They are now on my bedside lamp
Thank you so much to both of you for such thoughtful and wonderful gifts!! I love them all! Carrie K and I indulged in a little coffee swap as I’d missed the Knitter’s Coffee Swap this time and her package arrived on Saturday so photos of that soon.
Tour de France knitalong news: I’m up to 5 repeats of the pattern and I’m running out of space on my needles. The post office in Canterbury are holding my new longer needles hostage so I will have to get them at the weekend. I hope that I can hold out til then! I think I’m about a quarter of the way through now so I’ll have to push hard this weekend!
Jeanne said that there weren’t many photos of Merlin on my blog so here is a new one. I think Merlin has really taken a liking to Sunshine!

What’s this change in regime? Cats allowed outside?!

I’m glad you liked everything. I’m not a mind reader…I’m a blog reader. You have said you wanted to try more Socks that Rock….someplace. I know I read it someplace.

*smile* I was with Chris when she picked out the Panda Cotton for you
Looks like a fantastic package!

Such nice goodies! And what’s with them holding it all hostage for you? Yikes. (Probably rules & insurance but whatevah!)
Cute pic of Merlin! He looks like he’s taking a shine to Sunshine.

Hi Merlin.
You keep the postmen hopping too, I see…

Samantha- I have it on good authority that Chris is a sucker for anyone who owns a black cat!
Or is that the other way around- the cat owns you.

Chris and Jeanne were so nice! I’ll have to go check out that Panda cotton too, it looks like a very nice blend of fibers. Glad to see Sunshine has other feline friends to show her the ropes
