Hagrid is my Hero!

An owl flew into Wychwood Manor this morning, heavily laden with a package from Celeena Cree.  Despite being a Slytherin, Celeena is a most generous and gentle witch, and so I opened the package with excited anticipation of what I might find inside.  I was thrilled to find a Hagrid themed kit inside, packed with wonderful handmade goodness and knitterly gifts.

I was a little nervous when I found Aragog inside the package...

And then another of Hagrid's friends, Norbert...

Celeena had also stitched a wonderful portrait of Hagrid with a quote of his that I love and shall embrace as a personal affirmation now...

She also enclosed a pen with prints of Fang's paws, a little elephant notepad (because Hagrid loves all creatures), and some of Hagrid's famous jaw-locking treacle toffee...

I love the little umbrella stitch-markers that she sent - so Hagrid, as well as the sock-shaped needle protectors in my favourite colour...

These are obviously intended for use when I knit up the Hagrid Illusion Shawl pattern that she sent, with yarn in Gryffindor colours, and the needles to make it with...

Celeena also included a packet of my all time favourite sweets - blackcurrant liquorice - YUM!!!

So feast your eyes on the fullness of my fabulous kit, they are no doubt green with envy, and understandably so...

Thank you Cleo - I love Hagrid, and this kit is so full of him, it is perfect! You truly are a wonderful witch, and I am so happy that you were my spoiler!  {{{{{{Hugs}}}}}
