Paid forward

As regular readers should know, I am fond of getting mail. Well, good mail, although I think that is implied. It's always a pleasant surprise to receive something unexpected. Such a package arrived this week.

You may remember that I pledged to participate in the Pay It Forward exchange. I have yet to live up to my end of the bargain, although a certain project that was giving me fits a week ago just might have something to do with fulfilling part of it. Out of the blue I received a scarf from Jennifer, who was doing her part in paying it forward.

I have been in need of a shorter, heavier scarf, which is why I'm working on one currently, but the one she made for me comes at a perfect time. The weather has turned cold again, and the scarf she knitted specially for me will be very handy. I wore it today and will be toting it along back from the area where it came when I go to the film festival this weekend.

So, thanks Jennifer! I've enjoyed knitting things for others, including those I've come to know through this blog. It was equally nice to receive a handknit.

By the way, Jennifer recently broke a blogging dry spell for some important news that you all should check out and congratulate her on.
