colorful surprises

Here's a tantalizing glimpse of the soon-to-be-unveiled secret whatzit project. I'll be posting the pattern this week on Free Pattern Friday. It's taken me much too long to bring this fun project to a close:



Any guesses? It's not any of the things that you all guessed before (though now I want to make all of these things): leg-warmers, hat with tubular ties, gloves or a uterus.

Also in the surprise category, I'm putting the final touches on the last package (sniff!) to my Secret Pal. The theme for this package is rainbow. See, it's a theme and a color at the same time - brilliant, eh? The big question is, will she notice??

The main feature is some undyed superwash merino sock yarn, a rainbow of Kool-Aid packets and some other little dyeing-related odds and ends. And of course some random treats to further convey the rainbow theme. I hope she likes it. I've had a great time getting to "know" her and putting prizes together.

I also can't wait to find out who is the sweet and thoughtful knitter that's been spoiling me!
