This package included the Scarf Style book, a needle roll, a big mug with Alice in Wonderland on it with tea, stitch markers (always need stitch markers), lotion, and 3 skeins off a cotton acrylic blend in a very interesting color &#8212; it&#8217;s a sort of rusty looking red &#8212; I&#8217;m thinking of using to try my hand at one of the crochet scarves out of the book.  And a basket&#8230; mustn&#8217;t forget the basket&#8230; can&#8217;t forget the basket, everything came in it. \ud83d\ude42  What&#8217;s funny is I&#8217;ve been contemplating an attempt at wrangling my needle collection.

Two skeins of Cherry Tree Hill&#8217;s Possum Lace in Tropical Storm&#8230; 960 yards of 40% merino, 40% possum, and 20% silk lace weight yarn.  I had a horrible rumor that Cherry Tree Hill is discontinuing this yarn, so I decided I had to order some before it became impossible to find.  Judy at TheKnitter.com got it to me really quickly (NAYY) along with a skein of Trekking XXL.  Thankfully, I have no idea what I should do with the Possum Lace, so I can stick with just Birch, Ribby Cardi, and The Third Incarnation for now.<\/p>\n<p>Okay, that&#8217;s all for now&#8230; I&#8217;m being distracted by Celtic music on my television&#8230;.
