Back to our normal scheduling…
Posted by Dee under General, Swaps
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.
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.
