Kit of all KITS!
A huge Hufflepuff HUZZAH and thank you to Fiera Firenze for an amazing package...she's outdone herself, no doubt, and surely this gets a spot in the Best Kit show!
I knew something was up when the package arrived because the cats simply wouldn't leave it's side...
Awesome house scarf!!
Two skeins of black sock yarn, one of yellow (480 yds!), and one in my absolute favorite color in the world!!! Also, a great resource for me because she must telepathically know I am the worst lace knitter ever - First Book of Modern Lace Knitting by Marianne Kinzel. She also included some handmade soap and a little 'Puff yellow handmade felted bag with wooden handles!!!

Worst 'Puff ever??
Could be me...
Forgot to post last week, got caught up in work and worked pretty much non-stop from Friday night until Sunday, when it was too, too late.
Boo on me. Big, big apologies to my housemates. I assure you no one feels worse about this than I.
