Stitching Santa 2017

Hello everyone! This is my first post in a year and it is good to be back!

Once again I took part in the Stitching Santa secret Santa event that the lovely Sewchet runs each year. I had a huge amount of fun creating a package of goodies to send to my recipient and was very excited to receive a parcel a  week or so ago, which has been residing under my tree…

We weren’t at home on Christmas Day so I opened my parcel first thing Boxing Day morning.

I am a very happy camper! I have a ball of Scheepjes Merino Soft (and it’s gloriously soft) ,  four mini Yarn and Colours skeins, a beautiful crocheted hook or pencil case, a pattern for some beautiful mittens and a handmade black Labrador Christmas ornament. The way to my heart is indeed through Mollie!

Scheepjes Merino Soft and a pattern for moss stitch fingerless gloves!

I haven’t worked with this yarn before, but I have used other Scheepjes yarn in the past and it is very nice to work with. This ball is in the perfect shade of blue grey and I will enjoy using it very much. The pattern is very attractive too.

Yarn and Colors minis

I have seen people posting about these minis and have been curious to find out more about them and maybe have some myself! So I’m really delighted to get four little minis, all in shades of blue, which is a colour I am very partial to! Bottom right is the exact shade of my sofa!

Handmade hook/ pencil case

I am really delighted with this. My hooks will have a happy home in here!

And finally! A Mollie Christmas ornament

I cannot tell you how pleased and touched I am to receive this. It’s absolutely fabulous.

Thank you stitching Santa!

The lovely person who sent these to me didn’t reveal herself, but I’ve had a little snoop about and I think it’s Jenny, the author of the pattern, who blogs at Iamsimplyhooked – so thank you very much Jenny!

And thank you Sewchet for another fun year!
