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 [...]

So… I made another OWS claim recently. I claimed Faux_Valentine for some monster-themed goodies and a wisty surprise. For the monsters, I made another monster chunk: out of Sugar and Cream and Serendipity Tweed. I also made an iPod cozy: out of Wool-Ease and some nylon Fun Fur I had around. Cute, right? I like [...]

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 [...]

In my most recent OWS claim, I claimed leighi123 for fingerless mitts and little stuffies for her two-year-old. Here’s what I made: Just a ribbed tube with a thumb hole. Very simple, no shaping. I used US 2 dpns and Trekking XXL (the same yarn I used in my last baby knitting adventure). Gator! I [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Seeing as this week is my school’s spring break so most of campus is dead (I got permission to stay in my dorm), I was under the impression that the post office on campus was going to be closed as well. I was anticipating needing to stop any packages I’d receive at the Fredericksburg post [...]
