Wit Knit: Valentines Day

Well, this is going to be mainly about Valentine's Day even though it is a little late. Valentine's Day was hectic but wonderful.

Work is extremely busy. At 8:00 in the morning, the lobby of my work was completely filled with vases of flowers, balloons, and stuffed animals. It fell upon me to distribute these gifts. It just so happened that the last vase of flowers was mine. It was great. Work continued to be hectic all day. And I knew when I got home, it wasn't going to be much better because I had a ton to do.

At home though, everything changed. My day turned around when I got my gift from my secret pal. It was incredible. A great little note, wonderfully smelling soap, set of size 10 DPNs, Simple Knits With a Twist, a brochue, a small clutch (for knitting accessories), a large bag (purse or storage), and some great yarn. I am using the ribbon yarn to make the slippers in Simple Knits. I hope, I'm not forgetting anything. Since I am at work right now, I can't really do this gift the justice it deserves. I will post pictures of it when I get home.

The wonderfullness of the day continued when Shane arrived. He got me this great manicure set. It was in a red satin bag--lotion, cuticle cream, exfoliant, nail polish, & more. It was perfect since I torture my hands. It was a very creative gift too, since I was complaining the other day that it was hard for me to knit while my hands were dry & achey.

The day ended with a homemade piece of cheesecake. Made by me of course! After things slow down at work, I am devoting some serious time to knitting. I am going to have several items complete for the Maryland Sheep & Wool Festival.
