Darcy was my secret pal for this Malabrigo swap and she is awesome. She sent me some beautiful worsted Malabrigo in jewel tones which I love and then filled the package with little things she knew I needed or would like. Size 3 circular needles, a row counter, a tape measure (my kids are always stealing mine) and some great patterns to try. She also included some organic coffee that I can't wait to try and some chocolate covered cashews which are already half gone and a cute fairy magnet. Oh and she included Feb. Knit 'n' Style and highlighted part of an article that talks about the Yarn Harlot being a doula! How sweet was that. Darcy, thank you for putting so much thought into this package. It made my day!

She picked this yarn for me because she knew I liked jewel tones. It is really pretty and I think it will look great knitted into the Quant pattern she sent me from knitty. I haven't tried an entrelac pattern before so it should be fun! Thanks again Darcy!

Who's your Patronus?

I took a little quiz now that I'm back in Harry Potter swapping mode. It is determine what your patronus would be. It can be found at this link.
Mine is the phoenix and this is what it said:

The Phoenix, the phoenix is a creature that symbolizes prophetic wisdom, death, and rebirth. This Majestic patronus soars onto the field blanketing your foes in fire and causing devastation to all that oppose it. You should be honored to receive this magical creature as your patronus!

Cool.

Addicted to Swaps

OK, so I'm not a very faithful blogger. Basically because I doubt there is anyone out there dying to read what I have to say. But I am addicted to swaps and I know that swap partners like to know what is going on with their partner so I here I go. I didn't let myself do any swapping during the holidays, but now I'm back on the swapping wagon (Even though I really shouldn't be doing as many as I am)
So far I'm doing a Marie Antoinette Swap, A Malabrigo Swap (both through ravelry) and I just signed up for round 4 of The Harry Potter sock kit swap. I can't resist Harry Potter and I did sit out a few rounds so I figure it's time. The button looks like I screwed it up again but it links to the page so who cares!

I made this mobius sling bag as a gift for my mother-in-law. I wasn't so sure about the colors but they are her favorites (even together). Once it was felted I thought the colors looked much better. OK, so I'm all caught up with blogging my knitting progress! Now I have to get back to the rest of that Christmas List.

I made these for Junie too. I need to add some velcro or something to the straps. I totally screwed these up the first time through but the second time it just clicked. I think I'll make a few more pair for Christmas gifts for my many neices.
