An owl has arrived!

My wonderful swap package from Ferula Vector. She really put a lot of time and effort into it. Look at that scarf!

Along with the scarf was some yarn in Ravenclaw colours, stitch markers, knit simple & knit scene - fall 08 magazines. Two sets of needles size 1 & 2. I've never tried metal ones so this will be something new. A lovely smelling candle in sweet honeysuckle, some bubble stickers, a yarn cutter pendant (so cool!) and some point protectors.

This arrived a few weeks ago, and I just got the picture off my camera. Sorry it took so long!
