Ravelry swaps are now a bit of an addiction…
From Trash To Treasures was a swap that had no budget at all… The intention was to spend as little money as possible for your project – the focus was on recycling, re-using and re-purposing!
From Australia I received the most stunningly impressive parcel of goodies…
- Six skeins of handspun Australian purple wool
- A beautiful cable/textured/beaded/charmed Christmas stocking made of rescued wool from an ex-sweater
- Mini pincushion, mini needlecase
- Knitting needle bangles
- CANDY…
And the BEST BIT:
- Handmade socks TO MY VERY OWN MEASUREMENTS!!!
- What a lucky girl!
In the other swap, entitled Shiny Pennies, you had to spend a limit of $10, send yarn, a pressie that would be considered a shiny penny (ie a happy thought!) and a little note…
I was sent all the way from New Mexico…
- Beautiful hot pink sock yarn
- Lavender soap
- Handmade necklace
- Handmade stitch markers
- Tootsie Rolls (specially requested American Candy tee hee!)
- An original page of sheet music to be my shiny penny – I’ll be making it into these shortly…
Aren’t I a lucky girl??
And I have now caught the swap bug… watch this space for as many post-Christmas sign ups as I can manage…
