I finished off 2014 with one more swap to a buddy in the United States. This was such a fun swap, I had lots of fun knitting these socks for her, making her some special stitch markers, and putting her gifts and goodies together.
I also received two swap packages in the mail. Just in time for Christmas, it felt like Santa was being specially nice and sending all the goodies I love.
The one package, from New Mexico, included stunning yarn from The Painted Tiger, socks, a hat and mittens, a cute pin, lovely candles and chocolates, and a most useful row counter bracelet! In Blue! How did they know? I don’t have one and adore it.
My other package was all the way from Washington State, and included one of my favourite yarns, Manos in Handspun. I love the scarf that was knitted and gifted to me, it is so soft and drapes beautifully. I am looking forward to winter to wear this beauty.
Details of the scarf is here. 🙂
This was a special and perfect way to wrap up my 2014 and take a break for the Summer Holidays.

Such fabulous swap gifts! I adore the scarf in particular for both its colours and interesting stitch pattern. Enjoy your break:)
It is very pretty, I love it. I updated the post to add a link to the buddy and her projects and Ravelry. 🙂
What a perfectly wonderful way to wrap up 2014! Swaps sound like they are so much fun and a great way to “meet” new crafting buddies 🙂
I really do enjoy the swaps very much. You do meet new friends. 🙂 that becomes very good friends in the end.
And I love all the goodies we share.
