First, my great friend and neighbor got me the 2012 Knitting Calendar. She's been doing this for several years now. Like always, I don't open it until January 1, and then I don't peak ahead. (Well, almost always...)
My husband, who knows me so well, and has noticed that I almost always have a pair of socks on the needles, got me this great Book of Socks. The patterns seem just my type when I need something besides plain vanilla. Not too fancy but with some interesting texture. I hope to cast on for a pair in the very near future.
Then for Christmas, DH got me a pair of Ashford wool carders. (This time he had help....meaning that I picked them out. He's good at picking out books, and maybe yarn, but carders would be beyond him. Hey! They were almost beyond me...)
All-in-all, it was a great haul with the promise of great things to come!
