Swappy time
January 18th, 2008 by Cecilie | Filed under Books, Random.I love participating in swaps ![]()
Rigth now it’s a Vegan post-holiday swap, over at the group Vegan knitters and crocheters at ravelry. The swap was a great idea, and the fact that ravelry exists makes it so much easier to join something like that.
I haven’t sent mine yet, but I hope to do it in a couple of days. I went a bit overboard with yarn shopping for my partner, and tomorrow I’m off to get some cheezly and stuff like that for her. I’m extra motivated to do compose a good package now, after I got mine today *squeee*


When I got home today I checked the mail, a nd the second I opened it, a nice smell started drifting out of the postbox, not strong, but really nice. And in my joy I discovered a package, for ME!
I ran in and tore it open, and inside I found
- Blue Sky Alpacas Dyed Cotton (organic) that I’ve wanted to try for a long time, I prefer stroking this yarn over any other I’ve stroked so far
- a bag of loose tea, with bits of fruit in it
- a 101 Vegan book in swedish, with recipes, looks cool/fun/educational
- a bar of Lush soap in peppermint, the thing that smelled so good
- A handmade sock-bag, with the words “I knit socks” embroiderd on it, lined and in a lovely floral fabric
- Small bags of a nutty spread
- a cute pen with fruits on it
- and Blue candy! I love blue candy!
- and a sweet letter
Malinmerino, that sent me this, is awesome. Words fail me when I try to say how much I digg this package, you really hit the spot with this one. It made my week



I´m so happy you enjoyed your package! I love shopping for swaps, and when it hits home, well - my work is done! I hope the colour of the yarn is bright enough to call neon! And yay - you like blue candy too!
