I finished my scarf made out of the yarn my PRGE Pal sent me! I love it!
Before I could finish this one, I had to make this Dragon for my son! I got the kit from Morehouse Farm.

I got a wonderful birthday surprise! My pal sent me 2 skeins of 127 Print Filaturo DiCrosa wool in a beautiful colorway! I just couldn't wait to use it so I already started knitting with it!! I love it! I also received a nice Birthday Card and some chocolate (yumm!) that isn't in the picture because my son and I ate it already!! hehe
Thank you so much! I love the way this yarn knits! It's fantastic!!
