Oh my, I don't know how I missed that thread:think but I went through and read every postsing for SIX PAGES! You all were busy PMing back and forth and I was clueless - I guess so caught up in my own psychosis I couldn't see the skein through the sheep:no - Okay. That was really bad.

 

The hug-ghan (I'm calling it a hug-ghan 'cause it IS a big wonderful hug from all of you) arrived yesterday while I was at work. I called my husband at lunch as I always do and he said, "Your yarn is here." and I said I didn't order any yarn ('cause we're sorta broke:blush ) and he says, "It's big and soft and it's yarn." and I said no, it isn't yarn. It must be something of yours. So then he says he tore open a corner of the package and it IS yarn. So I said, "Wow, that must be my scarf from the Scarf Swap on Crochetville! That is way too fast!" And he says, "This is one big-*** scarf. :D Honey, I don't think it's a scarf." Then I was so curious I told him to open it, and then he got all funny and weird like I've-got-a-secret and he says, "oh, Honey, some people really love you a LOT." and wouldn't tell me what it was!:no

 

OH BOY OH BOY OH BOY! When I got home (I actually left work EARLY :yes) I could not believe it! I rolled around on the bed with it and looked at all the squares and came on Crochetville and tried to figure out where the heck this came from and who was behind it!

 

Suddenly I realized I'VE GOT TO POST THIS! DUH! So I hijacked the camera from my daughter and the batteries were dead and then I found more and got my son to take pictures (he's confirmed that I'm nuts) and Chelsea the wonder-mutt was so excited 'cause I was so excited so she tried to eat me:angry but DS gave her the rest of a turkey sandwich instead. Then I tried to upload the pictures and Kodak EasyShare had taken over which would be fine if I had Kodak EasyShare but I have a Fuji Something-or-another, so I had to find the disk and that, my friends, is why I didn't get it posted until this morning! Got up early to grab some computer time and load the pictures and now I've got DD and her friend cleaning the house:eek while I talk to you all!

 

So thank you so very very much and I will go to the original thread and PM each and every one of you to personally say how much this means to me!:hug

 

**edit**

I forgot to say thank you SO MUCH for the Michael's card! I have a coupon for 30% off the ENTIRE PURCHASE at Michael's and I'm going to get some yarn for.... what else? An afghan! Fun FUn FUN fUN fuN

Just wanted to let you know what I did with the Michael's gift card that was sent - you'll be so proud! I had a coupon for 30% off the entire purchase (and they don't put those ones out too often) so I bought the yarn I'd been wanting to try, the Lion Brand Cotton-ease in the color Berry to make the Kimono Inspired Cardigan from the February '07 issue of Crochet Today that I picked up at the market last week.

 

I made a gauge swatch and even this is not the yarn suggested in the pattern it came out perfectly, was a dream to work with and has a lovely appearance! I'm very excited about this project... oh, and I currently have 12 projects going:eek ...

 

Again, thank you guys with all my heart! I'll never forget what a kind thing y'all have done for me!:manyheart
