Back at the end of last year, I posted about Pay It Forward, and at the end of last week, I received a surprise parcel from Lindsey, containing an entrelac beret and Calorimety, both knit from her own handspun:

The photos don’t show just how soft and snuggly they are. I really wanted to have modelled photos of them, but we’re all suffering from a nasty bug at the moment, so I look terrible and really don’t want to inflict myself on anyone.
But I wanted to share them anyway, because I love that she knit them for ME from HANDSPUN and when you’ve spent the best part of a week mopping up various leakings from small people, a surprise parcel is very welcome.
Thank you again, Lindsey. *blows kisses*
Suffice to say, not much knitting has been going on other than a bit of stuff for the Loop. Hopefully normal service will be resumed in a few days. Until then, send bland foods.

Those are gorgeous! That entrelac hat just about makes me swoon.

I’m so glad that they made it to you and that you like them! I hope everyone is feeling better over your way, and I’m glad I could provide a small bit of cheer for you.
I heard a rumour that spring may be heading to Britain (a foreign notion around these parts–we hear that the snow may be with us until sometime well into April, at least!), so perhaps you won’t need them much anymore…..but I hope you enjoy them whenever the weather permits.
*Hugs*
