(Though I wrote this post before I left, when you all read this, I’ll already have been in DC for a few days. So greetings from DC!) So I signed up for a swap on Craftster that is Dollar Store themed–that is, participants must spend between five and ten dollars at the dollar store (or [...]

Remember the bird swap I mentioned a week or two (or three or something) ago? Well, I received from my partner PinkChick today! She sent me a t-shirt with this pretty embroidery: and some lovely earrings: I love them! For more bird goodies, check out the gallery. Now, on a different matter, I’ll be going [...]

Yay, I finished my first socks for my outstanding sock trades! Pattern: Skew Socks Yarn: Regia Nation Colors Needles: US 1 Mods: None! So… I am disappointed these socks are not for me. Because I love them. And the recipient even has my same shoe size. So I’m totally jealous. They’re totally great socks. And [...]

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 [...]

So I joined a swap on Craftster that was bird themed. Whoo! My partner was PinkChick. Here’s what I sent her: An amigurumi peacock! The body is actually teal, but for some reason, my camera has a problem picking up that color. **shrug** There’s a pattern for a crochet peacock on Ravelry, but it wasn’t [...]

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 [...]

All right guys, I finally finished and sent my swap package for the Yarnie vs. Sewists swap on Craftster. My partner was MissDolly, and we decided to craft each other’s lists (we each had five items). Here is everything I made for MissDolly (and warning–the last one is probably NSFW). Pattern: None, it’s a top-down [...]
