Kit Swap

What kind of kit are you interested in receiving?

Knitting only...tried to learn how to crochet but it just doesn't happen.

At the moment I've just discovered araucania yarns which I love and I'm drooling over some marisol yarns which I just can't justify buying at present. Can't go wrong with Rowan. Love pure wool and wool blends.
