I got a very secret like package from The Infamous Ms. Knitzalot. Inside was her true superhero identity.
Here is the secret like package:
She sent along a lovely 7 page letter to explain who she was. It had a kickass game of HangMan so that I could make a guess at her secret identity. *L*
BUT before I get to the exciting news of who she is I'll show you what was all wrapped up in the paper.
One Skein Clutch & Stitch Markers :D She made me the cool stitch markers herself.
Here's a larger picture of the clutch. (Clickie to make biggie!) I couldn't get a true color of it with my photos. Early morning light in here is kinda weird.
Pretty damn cool eh. That was her first time felting and it's just perfect! :D I'm going to use it the next time the honey takes me out for drinks in honor of the former Ms. Knitzalot. Thank you, Sweetie!!! :D
And now the exciting reveal. *HappyOtterButtDance*
Who is she, this superhero of the funny, this sweetiehead of the library, this sailer of the Alaskan waterways, this fellow drinkie enjoyer *L*...
Why none other than:
The Ultra Faboo Bookish Knitster!!!! :D
Go check out her blog and say hello. She is really funny and interesting. She has a lively personality and is a pure joy to know. I'm really REALLY glad she was my SP, not just for her super cool gifties, but for getting to know her super cool self. :D Mainly for that actually.
This friendship is just beginning and I'm very pleased I had the opportunity to meet her in this big ol' world of ours. :D
And That's what Secret Pal and all these weird anonymous swaps should be in my not so humble opinion. Cause without the personal interaction it's just some stranger mailing you stuff.
Many Many Thanks to KnitWit Momma who was our SP Hostess. She did a great job keeping it all simple and easy and gave us whatever info & support we needed throughout swap.
This was my first swap type thing and those two really made it a positive experience for me.
My SP person that I gifted is away at the moment, but when she gets back I'll tell her who I am and all that jazz. Should be interesting. ;)
Isn't this cool? I'm so glad I know who she is now. I looked at that list so many times and never saw the name Bookish Knitster. o.0 I'd have known who she was just by that alone. I must be going blind or something. Although it is a pretty big list. *L*
Isn't that a lovely way to start the Friday at the start of a Long Weekend. :D
I love the buttons on the purse, it's a fabulous touch. And, being obsessed with stationary as I am, I love the paper for her reveal letter!

Yay!
I love that clutch. I am so glad you got such a wonderful person and had a good experience with that swap, sweetie. Having a good partner is what can make or break a thingy like that.

What a great way to wrap it all up. I've never done one of the swaps but I've enjoyed following the stories I've been reading. Your final one to your pal was terrific.
Have a great weekend.
