I think my Secret Santa has been very good at sneaking around my blog and see what might be the perfect gift - because this is really perfect!
A project bag, with a knitting critter! It's big, and colourful - with balls of yarn on the outside, and knitting needles on the inside. With pockets for useful things.
And inside it?
Two skeins of - to me- new types of yarn, but oh so soft and fluffy!
And this little fellow - a piece of (I'm not sure i dare to use it) fabric so exquisit I haven't dared to take it out of the plastic protective sheet..
Thank you so much, Maria G (of http://thenextstage-maria.blogspot.com.au)! I absolutely love my gift!
And thank you, a million times over, to Chookyblue, for once again organizing this yearly event. I know it could not have been an easy task, and I hope that there will be some comfort knowing that our hearts and prayers are with you and your family.
It simply wouldn't be Christmas with out you, the SSCS and all the participants/friends!

Soooo glad you liked your gift, Tonje. I contacted Susie, from 'Threads on my Socks' via her Etsy store and asked her if she could draw up a new design of her Mice embroideries. Instead of her 'sewing'mice series of designs, I asked for a knitting mouse and Susie did a whole new pattern! Such a lovely lady! The skeins of Australian yarn are hand dyed by a friend right here in my home city Brisbane. And the cotton square is the work of an photographer/artist who lives in Cairns in the north of my state. I thought that our parrots may be a bit different to the birdlife in Norway perhaps? lol. The cotton in the square is of 'quilting cotton'quality/standard. All the best for the New Year Tonje xx
Maria has really stalked you and put a lot of thought into those beautiful gifts - the fabric is exquisite!
Gorgeous gifts, so very "you"... I think Maria did her stalking well! Enjoy!! :)
