So the other day I received an OWS package from one of my favorite OWSers, PheonixFireDesigns. She claimed me for a wisty surprise, and sent me a GORGEOUS necklace and a rubber stamp: I also made a necklace of my own: Basic necklace chain from AC Moore (usually a dollar, on sale for Memorial Day [...]

I received a couple more swap things this week! First, from leighi123: Two pretty zipper bags and some very pretty cotton fabric that will most likely become a skirt or summery dress. She also sent a sheet of shrink plastic, some pretty sparkly thread, and some chocolate (which I gave to my brother as I’m [...]

For Ongoing Wish Swap! I love that swap, guys. Anyway, I claimed lindyv321 for an address book, some inchies, and a wisty surprise. The wisty surprise didn’t really work out, but the address book is really cool (and probably took over two hours anyway). First, the inchies: I’m quite proud of these, actually. They’re very [...]

Yep, more OWS stuff. Which means more knits, I just sent them to someone else instead of wearing them myself. I claimed lapoli for wristwarmers and a soaker (and I’m sending tomorrow, so if you are her, don’t look til you receive). Here’s what I sent her: Pattern: Eh, I made it up as I [...]

I received a swap package from icebyrd67. She claimed me for a thread catcher, and it’s great: I’m highly pleased with it. The sand bag bit is attached to the bag with velcro, which will make it easier to clean/empty. At any rate, it’s much much prettier than the plastic cup I’d been using. In [...]

So I’ve gotten a couple of packages in the past couple of days. Yesterday, I received an OWS package from StephanieGravatt: First: Ravenclaw wall art: I didn’t want to just tape it in the frame, so I think I’m just going to save the frame for something else, but I do have the cross stitched [...]

So for my lastest OWS adventure, I claimed JodiLynn85 for slippers. Fast and fun to make, and now I’ll probably make some for myself. Take a look: Pattern: Mary Jane Slippers Yarn: Bernat Alpaca Blend Hook: H8/5 mm Mods: Worked an extra toe round, only used one color. These came out pretty well, I think. [...]

Sooooo I claimed PheonixFireDesigns for hand knit house socks! And they are great. Pattern: Get-Together Cable Socks Yarn: Some vintage orange wool I got at the thrift store that I’ve had forever. Needles: US 6/4 mm Knit Picks Options Circular Mods: Knit toe-up, left out some of the cables. Basically, I took the k1 rib [...]

Okay, not really. But the main crafty portion of the package I sent to spolowitz gave me some hell. I claimed her for a knitting project bag and a learn to spin kit. First, there was a spindle and some roving, part of the stuff I ordered when I was first starting to spin: And [...]

Kudos to the USPS because even though I fucked up with my address on my most recent OWS claim, I got my package today anyway. Like, two days after I called about the zip code thing. They found it and sent it my way almost immediately. Anyway, cjclark claimed me for a reusable sandwich wrap [...]
