Spring is here! :)

Posted on April 14, 2010 by Knitty Attitude

I think the spring has arrived here in Iceland. At least in my part of town ;)

I KNOW my birthday isn’t until the 28th (and that day I have a really big test… great timing!) BUT I opened one present today! I joined a Birthday Swap on Ravelry and was paired up with a girl that lives in Italy ans has the same birthda. Today I got my present and just needed to get a little brake from things so I opened it and BOY did it make my day!

Look at all the goodies I got:

In the package was:

Benissimo – a magazine I don’t understand a word in but that doesn’t matter, I understand knitting ;)
2 skeins of Needful Yarns, wool.
1 skein oh-so-beautiful handpainted wool from Fyberspates  (oh my the colors! :) )
1 skein kettle dyed Malabrigo yarn (oh boy do I look forward to knit with this yarn!)
6 handmade stitch markers
soak fiber washing “soap”
2 plates of chocolate mmm…
pink pen
handsoap
lip balm
Weleda cream (I’m guessing sun cream :D)
A birthday card

Thank you Azzuka! :)

Treasure swap!

Posted on October 14, 2009 by Knitty Attitude

I joined a Treasure Swap on Ravelry and my first time participating was in September. For those who are not familiar with swaps:  It’s a group of people that sign up for a swap. The group is divided to pairs and each person needs to find things to send to their partner. In the swap I joined there is a list of things you are supposed to send to your partner, for example: yarn, knitted goods, hot drink, pattern and so on.

So… I spent September picking things for my partner, looking out for colors I knew she likes and trying to find something that I would love to recieve.  In the end of September I sent the package off and today I recieved mine!

AND HOLY YARN!!! It’s was packed with goods!

(sorry about the darkness of the photo… I was just in a hurry
to take a photo before the cat eats the chocolate… ehm…)

SO in the parcel (and on the photo) was:

Knitting magazine.
Rowan from kids to teens magazine
2 skeins Classy from Dream in Color, one blue-ish, one green-ish (lighter than they seem on the photo)
A calender for 2010 with wonderful photos.
Tapestry needle set
very cheerful measurement tape for cm. and inches
stitch markers
magnetic page clips with beautiful pictures
chocolate
gourmet hot cocoa mixes with various flavors
a letter from my partner in the swap
