Ravelry Swap

I just realised I'd forgotten to post the pics of the cosy I made for the Ravelry swap. I was lucky enough to have knitwytch for a pal who is rather fond of witches - so a witch was the obvious choice for a cosy. Here it is:



I love how this came out - it was very hard putting it in the post box but I am pleased to say my swappee loved it. It was knit with 8ply wool on a 4.0mm 40cm circ and DPN's, the eyes and mouth were sewn on later with felt since I'm terrible at embroidery (though I've only tried it once!) I'll try and get the pattern up sometime after christmas for anyone who is interested.

My tea cosy swap arrived!!!!!!!!!

And I want to send the biggest THANK-YOU to my swapper cseneque

I got a huge suprise when I arrived home from work tonight to find a parcel waiting.

In it was the most awesome black and white stranded tea-cosy - a perfect match for my teapot - twinnings english breakfast tea (one of my faves), oreos (in the white box), green & blacks organic chocolate,

some gorgeous Jo Sharp Alpaca Kid Lustre in the most magnificent shade of blue, some lovelyNaturally Haven 4ply merino, not one, not two but three washcloths and some fantastic stitch markers (and I very nearly purchased the same set from live2knit this morning!)

I feel so spoilt and am already tossing around ideas for the yarn and several oreos have already been consumed and I'd just like to say THANKYOU once more!
