UK Swap Parcel has arrived!

I collected my UK Swap Parcel this morning from the Sorting Office this morning - it actually arrived yesterday, but a certain person was out knitting for the day......

So Haven't I been thoroughly spoiled rotten??!! A huge thank you to my Spoiler - Katherine or 'Yarny Mammoth' to me! There was an amazing amount of presents, all individually wrapped. Katherine certainly did her homework on me!

This is what Katherine sent to me: postcard, Edinburgh Book Festival Bag, Crochet flower, bamboo knitting needles, set of three crochet hooks, ravelry badge, 2 balls on noro kureyon, 5 balls of purple touch feely yarn, "Blissful Brownies", "Easy Knit Socks", "Easy to Crochet", "Knitting in no time", Alpshabet beads, green & black dark chocolate and butterscotch chocolate, 3 scented candles, flannel, floracologie lavender bath soak, Scottish Breakfast Tea, Fun baking cases, Lindt Lindor chocolate, and build your own Stonehenge kit - all individually wrapped in beautiful paper and ribbon.

That's what I call 'Spoiled'!!

Thank you Katherine!!

UK Swap QOTW 4

Sorry am a bit behind with all this, so here we go!



What is your favourite thing that you have knit? (It might not be your favourite thing to wear but it was the most enjoyable to knit). Most things I enjoy knitting for one reason or the other. I like to try a different technique then adapt it to a few things. I'm into short rows at the moment. I'm doing a rug, I've done a face cloth and plan to do another rug but with some eyelets in or some fancy stitch to enhance it.




What is the worst thing you've ever knit? Golly gosh! The worst, hhmm. Wouldn't noramlly get finished if I didn't like it. I was disappointed with my Baggy Trap bag, but I know where I went wrong and will eventually do another one but better next time as i like the overal shape of the bag.




What are your favourite knitblogs? Don't tend to read knitting blogs. Blogging is a fairly new thing to me and am just getting into the habbit of reading blogs of those I know!




What is the most amazing knitted thing you have seen (This Ravelry thread might help) Ok, I went to this thread, would love to browse it, but, I haven't got the time or patience for my laptop to go through the hassle of 'not responding' every time (honest!) I turn a page..... sorry.... the mystic waters shawl looks amazing though.




What is your favourite knitted item to wear? Post a picture if you can. I havne't made anything to wear as such for a while. I've been doing bags and accessories and scarves and face cloths etc!! I find it difficult to find a pattern of something I like that is in my size. My favourite knitted item I didn't knit, it's a very long lacy/crochet jacket from Monsoon in greens. I don't have a picture of it.....

UK Swapee Uncovered

I've been told who my UK Swap Partner is! Loads of info about them, lots to think about. It will be alot more easier than the first swap I did as I had very little to go on. I think I've been matched well with 'Swapee', a bit uncanny on some levels. Perhaps there are actually people out there that are a bit like me after all, hhmm!! And oh gosh I really can't wax lyrical on here about what I might do or get for the swap without giving it away..... dang!
