Not a regular Monday
The day started out much like any other, until the doorbell rang…
Standing at my door was a lady dressed in blue uniform. No, not a policewoman. The other blue uniform. An Post. And into my hands she thrust…
Yippee! Knitter’s Treat Exchange goodies for me. I realise it’s past the 5th of May but my treater told me it had a long way to travel. Yep, all the way from Down Under! So, waiting only long enough to take the initial photo, I ripped open the padded envelope and…
Wow! Lots of goodies compressed into a small space.
So, waiting only long enough to take a second photo I, with-excitement-likened-to-a-10-year-old-girl-at-her-birthday-party, began to open each yummy parcel.
Treats for the hands and eyes—
hand-dyed sock yarn, a book, and beautiful stitch markers
Treats for the tastebuds—
coffee, fairtrade dark chocolate, and a unique Aussie herb (with recipe for using it!)
Treats for the kids— (yes, I’ll share)
Cadbury dairy milk chocolates
And all those treats came from Donyale at Indulging My Inner Knitter. Many thanks for putting together a very lovely package to start my week off right!
That’s a great Treat package, Cheryl. The yarn is beautiful and book and other gifts look great. My package still has not arrived and my poor Treater is getting really upset, God love her, that it has not arrived. I have replied to her and told her it would be all the better when it comes.
Enjoy.

I’m very jealous! The packaging on Time for Tea is so beautiful. I always love anything where pink is the dominate color.

Yay! I have been hovering and waiting to see when it would turn up - glad you like it all - I really enjoyed putting it together and hope that the book will be put to use when you all gather together for your knitting group - I can see you all, hovered over to see if more yarn is in your future…heh heh.
The coffee is locally roasted and is fair trade, as is the chocolate, and the forest berries is really yum if sprinkled on fresh berries and left overnight then served with a huge dollop of fresh cream.
You will have more than enough yarn there for 3 pairs of socks - I am interested in seeing how it knits/weaves up.
YAY.
