Yarny goodness!


My package arrived from Jo today -- it's gorgeous!! Two skeins of worsted in lush greens plus brown, blue, and gold! We traded 200g, and the skeins she dyed for me are siblings: same colors, different techniques. The color selections couldn't have been a better match for me; it's like having my favorite cabin in the woods right here in my stash!!!


She sent two patterns: a lovely little handbag pattern from DROPS, and a moebius scarf/shrug from KnitPicks.


She also included a bar of handmade soap, and some hot cocoa!

I can't wait to knit with it, as so on as I decide what to make!!

Packet send.

Hi Cathy.

I got your packet send today, but because of easter it will take a time before it go out from Norway. We have a lot of free days in easter and tomorrow they close very early and open first at Tuesday for work again :o)

Had a fun time dyeing your yarn, almost like I kept it myself, LOL.

on the way

Hey Wendy!

your package is on the way. hope you like it!

Yummy!!

I received this yummy BFL ultra superwash yarn from Meghan today. It was worth the snowy, wet, slushy treck to the mailbox!! She labeled it "calming waters" it is beautifully dyed with blues and greens, my favorite colors. She included a fingerless glove pattern and a sock pattern, I think I am going to make this into socks!!! They are the perfect color for my bluejeans!!

Thanks Meghan, and thanks to Felicia for hosting the swap.

Show & Tell!

Hi, just butting in from the last swap to show off the yarn Celena dyed for me. It was a sock yarn swap. I thought I loved this yarn while it was a skein, but look how it's knitting up:

Package sent!

My package is in the mailbox awaiting the postal persons arrival!! My partner should have it in a couple of days. I hope she likes and enjoys it, in my opinion it is one the prettiest skeins I have dyed. (ya, I pat myself on the back, but I had a tough time putting it in the envelope to send off!!) :-)

Also, the person you are dyeing for, is dyeing for you! I've already received an enthusiastic email from Wendy, my kind of group!
