April Book Swap

This is what I received in abook swap that I pariticpated in.

I love it.

I knitted the above neck poncho using two strands of Dk yarn to create a chunky weight. It was wool that was in my stash and wanted ton use up. I am quite pleased with the results.





The yarn for this scarf was the yarn that was wrapped around the goodies I received in the magic ball swap I participated in last month. It was a quick knit but I took me a little longer to knit becasue I was knitting other things in between.

Magic Ball swap - March 2008

I took part in a magic ball swap on Ravelry. This is what Diane sent me.My magic ball partner. I am currently still unravelling as I am knitting a scarf and I just love to see the iems falling out as I am knitting. I will post a picture of all my goodies when I am done.

Neck poncho

I knitted both neck ponchos in four hours. I used black chunky wool as that was all I had in chunky. I saw the buttons at a knitting show In attended in Birmingham and thought they would look nice on the neck poncho.

Very easy to knit and looks very nice on.
