This thoughtful wooly gift arrived an hour or two before I started recording my latest episode. At first I thought it’s my usual Row One monthly subscription that arrived. When I opened the package there were two ‘kits’ in it and an envelope.
•
Inside the envelope there was a little note saying it’s a gift from a crochet friend and it made my heart jump. I shared many times that I use the Row One subscription mainly for my Coziest memory blanket and I received lovely reactions. I carefully opened my package and thought what a thoughtful gift the people at Row One Yarn sent.

I was SO excited and at the same time busy getting ready for the recording. While preparing all my projects I thought to include this lovely wooly gift in the “ what arrived in the mail ” section. 
And so when I recorded the video I excitedly shared this wooly gift and sent a huge thank you to the Row One people and I explained that I don’t expect to get any gifts.

After the video was uploaded to YouTube I also shared this cheerful wooly gift on social. I tagged Row One on my stories and this morning while chatting with them on IG, I understood that this wooly gift was sent by a lovely follower! Amazing Sandra was so kind to send me this amazing gift. OMG, I was so embarrassed. Mainly because I already shared all the excitement on my new episode. And I though to myself – This is SO me! Silly me!! Where my head is? 
So the question is: why didn’t I get who the sender is right from the beginning? Well first I thought that the name Sandra on the letter is one of the Row One people. Secondly I was in a rush to film my new episode.

So, I think you can understand my mistake here. I probably should have had to wait and open my package quietly later in the day. Or maybe not. Because thanks god I have my blog and I can fix it all here.

So here I am, sharing all the embarrassing details about this wooly gift I received from a thoughtful follower Sandra. THANK YOU SO MUCH SANDRA! Here is the video in which I share my excitement, in case you want to watch it.

There’s a lot shared on this episode including everything I’m busy with. I also answer your most asked question: “How do you cope?”. Hope you’ll enjoy it. And please let me know that I’m not the only one who fall into these mistakes. xxMo

Oh no, you’re not the only one who falls into these types of mistakes. It happens, and I would guess that Sandra is very understanding. Mo, you have been such an example of how to live during very terrifying and troublesome circumstances; I believe that is prayer being answered on your behalf. I hope you will find sustaining comfort in the Holy Scriptures.

What a sweet admirer! You certainly deserve the surprise Mo!
I love the square you used for the Coziest Memory Blanket. Have you published that pattern?

God bless you, Mo. I hope everyone gets returned to their loved ones as soon as possible. My prayers are with you and yours during this time of war. Keep you all safe. Sweet Sandra was right to send you something to lift your heart. I’m glad she did. I look forward to getting my kit from you….
Sometime could you show us how you join your memory squares as you knit along. I’ve always wanted to do one of those blankets. The first time I saw one at a knitting guild, she had just finished it and had used an i-cord binding for the border. It was gorgeous. I love your blanket. Much love to you.
