Damn it, why do I procrastinate? Even when I know I'm doing it and exactly how much it will fuck me up? Stupid self.
If you figure it out, let me know.

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2011: Maybe the even years are better
Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Christmukkah, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. 2011? Room for improvement. Srsly.

SO MUCH HAPPY!
First of all, every things wrapped in pink fabrics. YAY! PINK! REUSEABLE! FABRIC!
Yes, I am like a 3 year-old playing with the box, the wrapping paper is a GIFT TOO!
Ahem, really lovely knitted deep pink slitted scarf. It's warm, but lightweight, so PERFECT for our weather. I do believe I have something to wear with my new hat to Christmas Eve Service.
(so, a knitter? or a knower of knitters? hmmm)
Next, a set of gorgeous notecards. The paper is thick and lush. The design is of KNITTING (I sense a theme). Not people knitting or the instruments of knitting, but the knitted pattern. So it is evocative of intertwined leaves or Celtic ivy. Really cool pressed in design in a very soft blue.
(The cards can be bought online or at a few retailers, so that is not a clue. more hmmmm)
Lastly, a blue glass bottle which is almost too pretty to put into a bottle tree, but I do think it will go into the one, I plan to make in my back yard. Maybe I will use it in my peacock colored living room until then though, because it looks really nice in here.
(no clue with that gift)
The card with sassy elf says I am mostly nice, but kinda naughty.
OK, the zip code tell me OHIO! (Now I will be singing, O-H-I-O, maybe I'd better go home).
So now, if I cross-reference the exchange participants with Ohio, I get....OH HELL, I don't know where everyone lives. WE SHOULD HAVE STATE IDENTIFYING EMAIL ADDRESSES!! I AM WRITING THE PRESIDENT TO GET THIS ADDRESSED!
Well, you have me thus far, BUT I WILL NOT GIVE UP. I WILL SOLVE THIS RIDDLE.
Quick, hive mind, who knits and lives in Ohio?!?!?
