Do you get one of those gifts each year that is THE best gift and it feels like it might be THE best gift you've ever been given in your entire life?
I received one of THOSE gifts last night.
Once a month or so, I meet up with a dear friend of mine in Coralville for some knitting... we chat, we drink, we knit. It is wonderful fun. It provides us a way to stay connected even though we are miles apart.
As mentioned, part of this evening involves knitting, and I needed a couple more pairs of needles last night that I didn't have... I was ready to drop a good load of money... we got to looking at the interchangeable needles... *ah, a dream*... gorgeous and plentiful and satisfying 40 different sets of needles... but alas, way too expense for a whim purchase...
... next thing I know, my dear friends (another gal joined us last night) were deciding to purchase this set for me for Christmas (and my birthday next year, and you know, every year after that... HA!).
How do I even thank these gals for this gift of kindness and generosity? Maybe knit them something... ;) Who knows. All I know is that I have two of the bestest friends a girl could ever ask for... and not just because they bought me a wicked awesome gift. I know they love me and want the best for me and would do a lot for me... and THAT is truly the best gift I could ask for.
