Swap package

I took part in another swap this month, the European swap on Ravelry. The moderator kind of forgot the swap, so it was organized by another member of the group. I thought that it could end bad - but it didn't. It ended great! My swap partner Fairytalefelter aka Dawn has received her package and here's what she sent me.

And I sure want to! After a major loss of my knitting mojo lately it has luckily returned just in time for my birthday, which happens to be today!

 

So what better way to celebrate than with a Knit Night with the ladies! Let's face it: I don't have family where I live, and my best friends are the dames from my knitting circle - so I'll celebrate with them. In fact, I am planning on casting on a cowl.

 

Will you join the celebrations and knit a few rows with me today?

Mexico Colour socks
TicoTico socks

A friend of mine asked me to make her a pair of socks. She told me the size and her wishes, and added "they can be just as bright and multicoloured as you'd like".

This used to be my stash back in 2007

As you know, I love goals, plans and lists. I posted my 101 in 1001 volume 2 list in January, and this here is going to be my list of Knitting Goals for 2012.

Two first times with one project - crochet and t-shirt yarn

Crocheted squares

Last year I tried my hand at making t-shirt yarn. You know the one where you cut old t-shirts into strips and pull these into thick "yarn"? I cut 4 t-shirts and an old tricot shirt of mine and worked these into yarn. They "marinated" in my stash for a while, until a few weeks back I decided to see if I could crochet little baskets of them.
