I know you are Very Busy at the moment, and that you and your elves must be hard at it making all those toys and things up there in Lapland. So I thought I’d help you out a bit.
I saw that Gerard and Craig from Iknit had been to America and smuggled in brought back some yarn. Their newsletter came yesterday, and when I saw what they had in the store, I knew that I had to have some. So, thinking of you, you understand, and wanting to save you some work, I made a detour on my way home last night and stopped by the Iknit shop.
Helpfully, they had a scarf already made up of the yarn. It’s the kind of yarn that doesn’t come one’s way very often, the sort that really, really needs to be touched to be believed. If clouds were warm and dry, or if candy floss was not sticky, this is how the yarn would feel. It is so soft that it feels like nothing in your hands, as though someone has merely breathed warm air between your fingers.
Of course, as I was shopping on your behalf, I didn’t look at the yarn, and I promise not to take it out of the bag until Christmas morning. I’m sure one of your little helpers will be kind enough to wrap it and put it in my stocking, maybe after your’ve been?
I hope you don’t mind. You know that I have been a Very Good Girl this year, and I promise to keep on being good between now and Christmas.
Yours sincerely

How terribly thoughtful of you! I know that Father Christmas always appreciates me helping in this way. Because after all he is a very busy fellow.
Now I’m going to have to go to iknit to see if santa needs my help with my presents…
Santa is very accomodating! I am hoping he won’t mind me getting my presents at harrogate
You’ve been *very* good this year, if that yarn is any indication! *swoon*
Oh my, you must have been a *very* good Pea this year!! Lucky lucky you. (I may have done the same thing for my birthday…)
I think I could learn a thing or two from this approach!
lol!
good for you! and even better for santa
but does that mean we wont be able to see the yarn until after christmas?!
That must be yarn must be quite something. Lucky Santa has good taste 😉
Oh it’s so kind of you to help the big guy out – well done you – and also for taking up the yoga teacher training – sounds like a fabulous 2009 in store for you :o)
Hmmmm. Didn’t I tell you you’d be hitting iKnit within the week! Us knitters are nothing if not predictable. So what you get then?
Oooo … thats lovely!
You could have one of the boys photograph it and upload it to the blog so we can see it!
I liked going to IKnit when I was in London. The only thing was it was quite a ways from the tube station… and I didn’t feel safe going all alone.
