On the Hooks: I got Yarn!

In which I channel Bart Simpson, brag a ~~little~~ lot and get ready to hook. My poor family. For the last two weeks I was channeling my inner Bart Simpson*:

But instead of a spy camera, I was waiting for the yarn I won during a giveaway on the blog Crochet Concupiscense. It was Kathryn’s birthday and she was giving out the motherload of goodies. During the contest I drooled over the pictures of what I was to win. After I won (yay me!) I squealed and squeed over the excitement that the e-mail notification of my win gave me. Then I waited. Kathryn was kind enough to e-mail updates about mailing the yarn but that didn’t stop me from random stops home, eye balling every package delivered to the house or randomly calling home to see if “anything came in the mail for me” or checking Kathryn’s site to look at the giveaway and make plans about a possible yarn thing.

Last night as The Bee and I were picking up items at the market, Mom called me to inform me that there was a package for me and it was heavy. Could it be my haul…? It was!

I tore through the box, excited about what I would find. There were the balls of yarns, magazines, hooks, everything as pictured. Kathryn also enclosed a handwritten note congratulating me on my win and loads of books with ideas for me to use.
