My package arrived!
by kingofthefrogs
it was an exciting moment, coming downstairs this morning to find my package waiting for me! My mum and sister watched in bemusement as I photographed it and then unwrapped all the little parcels inside! Once I was done it looked like this:
There were lots of lovely goodies inside, based off my picture being of the sea, and very cleverly, my posts on ravelry boards!
Fibre-wise there was a skein of Cherry Hill sock yarn, in a lovely bluey greeney colourway, some sari silk threads for spinning, and a bundle of combed merino tops in sea green and turqoise with a sandy colour in there too! very sea-y! There was also a book of crochet hat patterns and two sets of gorgeous ceramic buttons - one with tall sailing ships on (i'm going sailing on a tall ship next week!) and one with seahorses on :-)
Then came the treats! A "Big Blue" bath ballistic from Lush - it has sea salt and seaweed in it! Some posh chocolate with orangey bits in, as well as a chocolate orange and some mini chocolate bars and gummy sweets :-D
And the bit that made me giggle: a Dr. Who shiny pencil case with a Dalek on it!! Inside that is a Dr. Who pen and pencil, a ruler that says EXTERMINATE on it, and a rubber with the face of Dalek Sek on it. Over the course of the swap Tiggerbee and me were exchanging emails on the various developments in the sci fi programmes we watch, so this will be a lovely reminder of my swap pal, as well as being a handy thing to take to lectures!
Yaay! Thanks again Tiggerbee, I'll definitely be participating in a swap in the future! Now I just have to finish off my package and sent it :-)

question of the week number 4!
from kingofthefrogs
What is your favourite thing that you have knit? The thing I most enjoyed knitting was a hat from Jaeger Roma. I got the yarn in a swap and it was so soft and yummy that I had to make it into something right away! it was supposed to be a slouchy beret type hat, turned out as a beanie but i don't mind its still a lovely soft hat to wear, and i think its pretty
What are your favourite knitblogs? hmm i've been trying out knit blogs and i'm not really amazed by any! i prefer online comics like dinosaur comics
What is the most amazing knitted thing you have seen?
Well i've seen some pretty intricate things knitted and appreciate the time and effort that went into them. but if they're ugly then it seems a bit of a waste, and a lot of them are. i like things that are simple but pretty :-) or that look harder than they actually are!
What is your favourite knitted item to wear? Post a picture if you can.
at the moment, it is the aforementioned hat:
i went to look through my flickr at my FOs and realised I'm not very good at making jumpers i like wearing. partly because i always make them out of wool and then have to wear long sleeve tops underneath cos i itch, and then its never quite cold enough to wear them! oops. i've got a cardigan waiting to be made out of (guess what!) jaeger roma though, and a something to be made out of colinette point 5 which i am deliberately designing to let some heat out, so that hopefully i can wear it!
realised as i was writing this that i haven't really answered half the questions! ah well such is life!
