Surprise From Canada!

Thursday, January 24th, 2008

I found a great surprise in my mail box today.  An envelope from Canada.  I was confused, didn't remember ordering anything from Canada...  To my great surprise it was a beautiful card with a nice note written inside from my partner.  She even included some yummy maple sugar candies from her "part ...

I'm with you textilejunkie on the so-not-done phase. Still -- we press on.

All Done!

My project is blocking now! :) All my goodies are collected... Now just to wait to be able to mail it. ::sigh::

Finally some progress

Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008

I've read that many are already done - oh but that is so not me. :) After a few false starts, and a week and a half to wind the yarn, progress is finally being made. Here is the arty shot - you know so you can't really tell what ...

The Home Stretch!

Tuesday, January 22nd, 2008

We're in the home stretch! And, because of this, I'd like to give a few, important reminders: Your packages need to be mailed between February 10th and February 16th.

I'm done--my project is better than anticipated (I actually "covet" it myself!  (Oops! Thou shalt not...)) and I am in the process of gathering up thing to go in the package.  That is and interesting task...what does a Wong-with-a-Hawai'ian-connection living in the Lone Star State put in her package for goodies?????  Pineapple ...

Starting Over

Sunday, January 13th, 2008

AAArrgghhhhh! I am so mad at myself...LOL! I was almost done with Dani's first sock and wanted to doublecheck the foot length so I went to the original email I received. Thankfully. Oh, I had correctly remembered the foot length but NOT the circumference. These socks will be too tight ...

My first update

Sunday, January 13th, 2008

Just wanted to let everyone know that I haven't forgotten about the swap. I want to thank Kim for a lovely package for the holidays. It really made my day and I loved everything in it. I have started my project for my swap partner (I'm actually almost done) and ...
