It was very cold here this morning (-25 Celsius) when a poor, icicle-laden owl landed on my doorstep. Poor Artimus! It seems he was delayed by Customs...in Quebec. I'm not sure how that happened--the fastest route to my place would be via Toronto--perhaps he got some bad directions? Poor owl. We're going to keep him here for a few days so he can defrost, and bundle him up well before we send him back.
Dorian was super excited about the package. He couldn't wait to break into it!
The first thing I found was a letter from Canada Customs. :S
I don't think anything was damaged or missing from the package, though.
Here is how it looked:
I was pretty excited when I found out that Antonio was going to be my swap partner. He has an uncle who dyes yarn (and is pretty good at it, as you'll see!) My package came with two skeins of yarn: one, from his uncle's Paca Peds, dyed an unbelievable variegated blue, and the other, a one of a kind semi-solid blue worsted weight from Lorna's Lace. I'm not sure what I like more: the yarns or the felted bag they came with!
Almost as cool as the yarn are the local items he picked out for me:
Mmm...I can taste the wings now!! (And the wing sauce is milk-free, so my poor allergic sister will be able to indulge with me.)
I also got two sets of Knit Picks Harmony needles; one for a hat and one for a scarf. There was also chocolates (yum!) and a sweater stone
Thank you so much, Antonio! You're the best!

Glad to see that everything arrived safely. Were the patterns in the package? That's the only I didn't see in your pictures. Hope you enjoy it all, it was a very fun kit to put together.
It does look like a marvelous package! Maybe the people at customs wanted to see the yarny goodness? That yarn was simply GORGEOUS!
