Revelation

Secret Pal 8 is drawing to a close, and my SP8 sent me an e-mail telling me who she is. She's Chrissie, she lives in Singapore, and her blog is here. When the list of participants in my group was posted on the SP8 site a couple of weeks ago, I visited the various blogs to see if I could identify my SP8. When I read Chrissie's blog, I was 99 percent sure that was her--partly because she was in Singapore (and the gifts she sent me arrived in envelopes from the National University of Singapore), and partly because she described the contents of the packages she had sent to me. But I didn't want to say anything about it in my own blog until I was sure. After all, what if I was wrong? What if there was another SP8 participant in Singapore who was sending her pal gifts like the ones I received? How embarrassing if I was wrong!

Anyway, now that I know who my SP8 is, it's been fun to look through her blog and get to know her a bit. Aside from an interest in knitting, we also have graduate school in common (though it sounds like she'll finish her dissertation before I finish mine!).

In her e-mail to me, Chrissie suggested some sites to look at for information on spinning: here, here, and here. I am really looking forward to trying this out!
