Safe and appreciated

I mailed a package to my friend in Kentucky last Saturday.  She received it safe and sound yesterday so I thought I’d share pictures of what I sent to her.  The soaker is for her 8-month old girl.  Yarn: Cascade 220 (green and brick-red) and Sensations Kashmira (aqua – discontinued).

Originally I was going to make a face on the back side but didn’t have the right colors of yarn to finish it.

I also sent her very own pair of Musica Mitts.  She loves music and commented on the mitts I made for Mr. Aitch so I thought I’d make a pair for her.
