Secret Pal

I gave my final secret pal gift today. The first three gifts were anything, but this last, reveal, gift was supposed to be handmade. So handmade it was.

And it contained this knitted gift:

Pattern: Gretel by Ysolde Teague
Yarn: Malabrigo worsted

And this sewn gift (it was definitely a hit with the recipient):
