UK SWAP 2008

I have just opened my UK SWAP package from Salsaknits and I must say it was worth the wait. It has also made my day. I needed some cheering up and that has cheered me up.

The postman actually came with the package yesterday but I was not in. I collected it from the Post Office this morning but I had to wait until this afternoon to open it as I was running a Knitting Workshop this morning.

I came hone, made some a fennel with 2 shortbread biscuits (naughty but nice) and settled to unravelling my package.

I opened my first package which was nicely wrapped. It was two balls of Sublime merino silk aran. The colour is Coast. Lovely colour.

Second package again neatly wrapped was a skein of black yarn (non-pure wool). Again that is nice.

I also got a snaller skein of yarn with a miture of green, blue, purple and brown. That's lovely too.

I have also got a lovely book called 'Scarf style' and there are a lot of lovely patterns in this book.

Thre was also patterns for hats of three designs which I look forward to knitting: Ysolda, Gretal and Verity are the names of the hat patterns.

Now in realtion to my photograph as shown on my blog. Salsaknits picked up on the waves in the picture and has attached a copy of a scarf pattern called 'Waves' too.

I mustn't forget my goodies. I havre not one but two boxes of shortbread biscuits.

YUM! YUM! YUM"

There were also two 'handknit for you labels' and a ravelry badge.

Thank you! Thank you! Salsaknits I love my package.
