Fall Swap Treats As you may have noticed the postal workers have been in strike, but it looks like things are back to normal. This morning, I got this amazing package from andreainblue, it was part of the New Season Swap I organised on Ravelry, she has included all my favourite treats, M&M’s Twizzlers, Jelly Bellys and even some macadamia nuts.

Fall Swap Yarn One of the things I love about swaps in getting to try yarn that we can’t get in the UK, andreainblue included some Berroco Jasper – she mentioned it is a new yarn and that it would be perfect for making Le Slouch (a pattern that has been on my Ravelry list for ages).

I haven’t been doing much knitting recently, I have several projects on the go and I seem to have stalled on them all. I was so close to finishing Gretel before I left but couldn’t get the last few rows right – the cables were wrong when I followed the pattern, whilst I was away Ysolda posts an amended version of the pattern – so at least I can finish this piece.

I had finished one of my Baudelaire socks, and had started the second one – only now I have decided I want to make this socks longer – so I have ripped back the rib on the first sock and placed it back in the needles.
