First of all, stealth project:

The Kittyville hat from the Stitch and Bitch book. Yes, I am that goofy.

Second, from the best Secret Pal in the world:

Which I unwrapped to reveal:

The green yarn is Nashua Handknits Creative Focus Worsted. The pink/gold/green is unlabeled, but looks very spiffy. It will be interesting to see what it says to me.

Mike immediately tried to lay claim on the chocolate covered macadamias. In fact, the package got opened before I got the picture, because he *had* to have one before going to work. He was late today because his alarm didn’t go off. As opposed to being normally late.

Air freshener for the car, which is good since I’m driving his these days. The book is Vogue’s American Collection, and has Lily Chin’s Reversible Rib Shawl, which I’ve been pondering lately.

And, the best thing of all? I’m sure you’re all wondering what that is.

Opens up to this:

It is, simply, the coolest circular needle case in the world. My SP had it made JUST for me. I *adore* it.

SP: *squees and hugs* You’re the best!
