A Lovely Handspun Knit Cowl

I received a most unexpected package in the mail the other day with a United Kingdom postmark :-)

 
Excitement! Martina, from the blog BimbiPea, had sent me a lovely hand carded, handspun knit cowl. The colors are quite nice-ranging from a medium orange to a forest green to various tans/browns. She must have spent hours on this, working with the wool, creating this just for me. I feel quite spoiled.
 



Did you notice how she matched the buttons to the various colors in the yarn?


She also crocheted me a small blue snowflake, which I'm going to hang in my studio.
 

 
Thanks so much, Martina, for a lovely surprise! I'll be wearing it soon, out in the cold :-)
 
I'm off to start work on a new quilt for our living room.
Enjoy your day.
Judy
