Last week we made our every 12 weeks “Beer, wine and steak” shopping trip to Fredericksburg/Spotsylvania so I was able to pick up my winter comfort box from this past Christmas. We don’t get in to “town” that often, having a pretty full life here in King George. I have been buying these for several years now, although I have yet to knit any of them up - definitely on my “to do” list now that I’m retired. They always put together a nice package and try to locally source the goodies that they include. This year they even personalize the project bag, which was a really sweet surprise.
Here are all the neatly wrapped goodies prior to unwrapping them. I’m not going to have before and after for each package as I am just not that person. So here are all the goodies after unwrapping.
Starting at the top, just above my name, and going clockwise: A beautiful card from a local artist, a short folding ruler that also lets you do wraps per inch (and has the wraps per inch for different yarn weights on the ruler), a Pom-pom, a notions tin (they included one last year as well, and we all know how we love our notions tins), Andes mints (quickly eaten - shared with my husband), lip-balm, leather sew-on gift tags, and the yarn. There were also two $25 gift certificates to the shop, which was a nice surprise. The yarn is from 29 Bridges Studio across the Potomac River in Maryland. It is sport weight, 100% superwash merino, and the colors are (from right to left) Afterglow and Lapis.
