Earlier in the year, I got the opportunity to swap with a buddy all the way in stunning Finland. And what a super swap it was.
My package quickly made its way to Birgit in Finland. I made socks for her, and they were the perfect fit.
Then the wait began. By now you all know that my post here can be slow at times, and once again it seems to have been the case. The darling Birgit was really worried, but I assured her all the time not to worry, it will arrive eventually.
And it did. Unfortunately by the time the package arrived, Birgit had already sent a second package and they both arrived at the same time.
I was so very happy to receive these stunning gifts and goodies. Gorgeous socks, my favourite yellow mittens, and a stunning pair of fingerless mittens, with beads and lace detail. So pretty, I am looking forward to winter to show them all off.
I got yarn, that I have already caked, stitch markers, a Moomin tin, chocolates, stationery and a notebook, the cutest needle holder, so much to mention.
Yes, I have already caked the yarn and will be looking for a pretty idea soon to knit myself a pretty something with real handdyed yarn from Finland.

Wow that is a wonderful set of things! How nice of her to send you another package in case the first had been lost. that’s so generous.
P.S. I think your doggie is SO CUTE!!
Hi there, Thank you for your comment. so nice to hear from you. Indeed, she was so extremely kind. I have decided to “gift” some of the items she sent, in order to pay it forward. I am sure she will love it and totally understand.
Thank you, my doggie is so spoiled. She is getting older now, and is a very quiet doggie. I love her to bits. 🙂
What a lovely idea!
Our doggie was an older one when we adopted him. We had him for 3.5 wonderful years, until he died last June. Older pups are the best!
Please kiss your pup from me, and have a lovely weekend.
Hope you had a great weekend. We had rain all weekend, and hibernated as much as is possible. 🙂 It was good after the holidays, perfect way to get started back into things.
So sorry to hear about your doggie. Yes, I love the older doggies, so are just such peaceful friends and buddies to have around.
Enjoy the new week and take care. 🙂
Wow, such beautiful goodies and so generous. What a perfect way to start the new year xx
Thank you, indeed was a great swap, and she was so generous. Loved the goodies and was very spoiled.
Happy new year to you as well. xx
You are so loved! 2 packages of wonderful goodies. The fingerless gloves are really beautiful! I love the lace pattern on them. Enjoy all your wonderful gifties. I look forward to seeing what you create with the yarn.
Hello, and happy new year to you.
I loved the goodies, and have decided to share some of the gifts, as I was totally spoiled.
The fingerless gloves are absolutely stunning, I will be wearing them a lot in the coming winter.
🙂 Have a great week.
