Double Your Pleasure Sock Swap - Package Arrives

Nothing like an envelope full of peppermint tea!
Loving the sock yarn - now I have to decide what to make with it.
I pair for my partner and I keep the other yarn....decisions decisions. No hints here!
2 x50g balls of Kaffe Fasset Landscape Striping by the look.
1x100g ball of Moda Vera Noir in Merlot.

P.S for those that are wondering I did go back and buy more perfect buttons for the new cardi.
Sewing will have to wait until I am home in daylight.

Bag Swap Award - Images & Maybe a bit more

I've had some fun putting together some images for bags and badges for awards.

The first and third are for images on either side of a tote bag.

The second (Which I have in a few colours) is probably going to end up on some buttons.

How cute are they!

All Wrapped and Ready to post

I love gift-wrapping something nicely.

This is Japanese paper from a local shop that sells it cheap..it is magic and soft and beautiful with the Purple Jute tied around it. It is qutie magic looking!

I can't wait to see my pal's reaction. I have included a couple of books I hope she likes to make up the budget.

I have a second one to post...due to the Swap organisation.

We seem to have nearly everyone on track for delivery. Let's see how it all works out shall we.

I am really looking forward to the

Bag lady Swap Frenzy + Noropups in limbo

I have been busy with the logistics of getting the Bag-Lady swap (Ravelry Aussie Knitters) up and running. It has been challenging and we have had a few headaches and I am actually genuinely suprised that we have had very few personality issues - but nothing runs 100% smoothly and the odd hiccup is to be expected. It's good when you have a partner-in-crime to help sought it through.

I have started my bag which should be fine over here as, in theory, only my swap pal should wander over here for a proper look (Or have I)....and anyways it doesn't look much in bits. When I get to the finished object I will only flash just a corner.

It does look a little scary in pieces doesn't it?

My plan is to knit a couple of bags over the next 2 months so that I have a few to look at but no-one knows which is the realy bag-lady swap bag. I will flash bits of the bags...but not the whole thing. It will amuse me at least.

My poor noropups (as everyone has christened them have been a little neglected waiting commencement of the heel (soon my little friends).

I am off work with big plans of knitting and sewing and spent nearly 3 hours in spotlight at auburn yesterday (most of it in queues waiting to be served).
