OH MY GOSH. My yarn exchange match REALLY outdid themselves. I am so, so happy! I opened the box and and was first greeted by a BIG bag of M&M's (YUM) and a box of tea. Serious sleuthing must have happened to figure out that I am a tea lover, so way to go, SS! I can't wait to try the chai (perhaps while casting on...?).

Then I removed the top-secret bubble wrap to reveal...holy crap!! SO MUCH YARN! And SO PRETTY! I am not exaggerating or being facetious when I say I squealed with delight. AND they sent me patterns for suggestions for what to make with the yarn! I cannot wait to make my first pair of socks with the gorgeous rainbow yarn...and to make Henry's rabbit (which I have been wanting to make forever, but I don't even think it's in my Ravelry queue, so my SS must be psychic) with Brava. I have always wanted to try Brava, so I'm super excited! And the shawl pattern is gorgeous and will go perfectly with the autumn-y colored yarn. I have never seen (let alone used) such gorgeous yarn before.

Ok, seriously, SS. I don't know how you did it, but you read my mind on everything. You are amazing. I just wish I knew your reddit username! Please reveal yourself!

Thank you, thank you, thank you! You are amazing!
