The Target box was nothing exciting, and I'll go over one package another day, but here are details of two of them.
First up: My friend's husband wrote a book! (Well, it's a novella, but that totally counts.) I backed the campaign, and my copy came yesterday!
And it's good, thank heavens; it would be so embarrassing to try and deflect talking about it otherwise. Interesting character, good story, I want to see more of Inez. Recommended if you like space/sci-fi reading.
Next up: squishy mail!
*Most of us are American, anyway: one woman is back in Canada already.
They mentioned one that was new to me, MidKnit Cravings (what a great name), and I had a fun poke around the website. I started looking around for three skeins that would work together for Casapinka's Magical Thinking pattern (which, she notes, is not a poncho: "This is an important point as I have a teenaged daughter and cannot cause her social annihilation by designing a poncho, so please follow this rule of nomenclature.").
I ended up messaging back and forth with them on Facebook along the lines of "do these colors work together or would you suggest something else" and a few combo considerations later, ordered these:
The yarn is 100% merino and super-soft! This is Blowing Bubbles.
This is Unsupervised.
And this is Droplet.
I think they're going to make a fun not-a-poncho. And for now, just looking at them makes me smile.
