... Dear Petunia ...

Dear Petunia,

I received your package via Owl Post!


The owl that delivered the package actually had the nerve to bite me ... I'm hoping he wasn't your owl. Anyhow, I opened the package to reveal a fabulous box inside ...


... a beautiful box, in its own right. Inside the box, however ...


... were the most amazing goodies. How did you know that my local yarn shoppes don't carry Inox needles? The size 0 were just the ones I needed. The yarn you included is beautiful ... I can't wait to hex my knitting needles and see the stripes "magickally" appear. When I do cast on for a pair of magically striping socks, I'll be sure to use your stitch markers.


And as it turns out, I will not be able to make it to Hogsmeade again soon ... so the yummies that you included are going to be much enjoyed over this holiday break. (Luckily I know which color are the "vomit" flavored beans.)

The socks, however, are the best part of the package ... they're marvelous.


I love the Horcrux sock pattern and I've been very tempted to cast on for a pair of my own ... now I won't need to! The fit is flawless:


And my toes will be toasty warm when going to the movies July 11 and when cuddling up with a good book July 21. They're perfect! The many reminders of my favorite quotes at the bottom of the package were such a sweet last delight:



Thanks again for the wonderful owl package ... you really made my day.

Your devoted Ravenclaw friend,
Jenifer
