This is what I used:
In Walnut
and
Strawberry
This is what I made :)
I call it a lap blanket because it is the size of my lap :P
I also call it a shawl and scarf. Although it's a small scarf... it still works. Needless to say, I was happy when I finished it. I think that I am going to give it to my Mom for Christmas. To this very day, I still sleep with the two blankets that she crocheted for me when I was a baby. So, it's important to me to give her the very first thing I ever knitted and completed. I hope she likes it!
So... I bid on some Lion Brand knitting needles on eBay.... I won them! They are brand new and here is the reason why I am soooooo excited... they cost me $8.99 (plus shipping) for 5 pair! They are BRAND NEW!
AWESOME!!!
Nearly $50.00 worth of needles for $8.99!
I don't think I'll get my Vickie Howell yarn : ( BOOOOO! For a straight week... I would open the mailbox... nothing : ( I've lost hope.

Hey Ali,
Thanks for the blog comment! SP11 is still in progress, so I'd wait about a month and start doing searches for "Secret Pal 12" on google. That's how I found SP11. Then you just follow the instructions on the webpage (usually email them with your name, age, contact info, and your blog URL), and the hostess will assign you a secret pal, and assign you to someone else. There are a lot of swaps out there (some for dishcloths, some for scarves, some for socks, etc.), so just search around on the 'net until you find one that you're interested in! :) Happy swapping!
