I was at home this morning, happily spending some quality time with no less than
three new socks/mittens (left to right, that's the
Gnome socks, the
Flamittens and
Clerkenwell,)

when a mail carrier knocked on my door and handed me an oversized parcel from
Knit Picks. I assumed that this must be
the book and needles that I had recently ordered from them, but...well, isn't this box a little too large for just one book? Hmmm...
It turns out I was right to doubt the contents of the package, because I was hardly expecting to open it to find
this:

Samples of each new Fall 2010 colourway of
Knit Picks Palette to play with! Let me tell you, the new colours are gorgeous!
I hardly knew what to make of it! Neither did Bubo...

and Schnecke (have you met Schnecke yet?) was overwhelmed, to say the least!

It is all so lovely and the fact that it was a surprise makes it doubly so. Thank you so, so much, Kelley and Stacey! I will definitely put the yarn to good use.

I was actually just wondering this morning if it had arrived. Have fun with it & can't wait to see what you come up with next!
Whoooo! You lucky lucky knitter!
Totally jealous, that must have been a great surprise!
Bubo! It's Latin for Owl!
I find it amusing that I'm more thrilled with the fact that you have an owl named Bubo than the fact that KnitPicks shipped you a bundle of yarn...
But the yarn is gorgeous!
So exciting! The yarn is lovely. I can't wait to see what you come up with.
Wow, what a great surprise! I'm sure you'll come up with something unique and interesting, as usual!
Knit Picks are so smart! Your knits are so gorgeous! ;-) Enjoy!
Di Immortales!
What a fun surprise! And I notice a lovely yellow there, even better.
Can't wait to see what you come up with.
Well, color me jealous! I remember my first huge order of Palette. I sat on the bed while I unwrapped it all and arranged (and re-arranged) all the shades.
I can't imagine the joy of getting a surprise pack of free Palette!
