Unexpected Generosity

Just before the Big Day, I got an e-mail from Erin.  We started an on-line friendship about a year ago when she started Show Me Your Stash.   When I saw that she was dyeing yarns to match blogs, I asked if she’d do one for my new PoMo Golightly blog, and she obliged with great results.  We talked about Project Spectrum, and the idea that she do a sock yarn club tailored to PS came up, and my friend RAN with it.  She gifted me with a subscription to the club, and I loved to get the package each month; her skills and confidence as a handpainting artist grew every month.  Last October one of the highlights of Rhinebeck was meeting Erin live and in person for the first time. I felt like I was meeting a pal I’d known for ages–isn’t that one of the beauties of the blogsphere?

Anyway, back to the e-mail.  Erin wrote a little about her creative journey and beginnings, and to celebrate my new beginning with Neal, she gifted me this.  I’m flabbergasted, awed, humbled, and thankful.  She’s done amazing things with her creativity in the last year, and I’m proud of her.

Thanks, Friend.  I can’t wait to watch what you do in the next year!  Muwah.
