Thank you Secret Supporter!! :)

To my wonderful Secret Supporter Arlyne -- THANK YOU!! ☺ I LOVE the gift!!

If my camera were working at the moment I would have posted a picture, but I'll describe instead... baby blanket knitting book and needles and baby yarn! How absolutely perfect! I mean, seriously, how perfect?! There is really nothing I love knitting more than baby blankets and the thought that I get to knit for my own baby just has me all choked up. Thank you so much!!

I have it on good authority from your Secret Supporter (whoever she may be...) that your gift is leaving town today... I SWEAR!! I'm so sorry it's taken... uh...her... so long to get it out. *hangs head in shame*
