Yummy Yarns Swap

Last month I left a comment on Ali's blog on this post as Ali had bought some gorgeous Socks that Rock and I was drooling. So we arranged a swap & I had a great time choosing something for Ali. I sent her a huge list of questions so that I could narrow down what she wanted & I think I was successful. Ali asked me to chose some colours that I liked so I looked at the colours here & sent her a long list of the ones I liked.

Presents
Beautifully wrapped gifts in my favourite colour combination


Unwrapped to reveal these:

Socks that Rock' sock yarn, Canadian Chocolate & Maple Syrup sweet
'Socks that Rock' sock yarn, Canadian Chocolate & Maple Syrup sweet


Thanks so much Ali I love it all. The yarn is gorgeous & I'm looking forward to knitting with it. The colour Ali found is Undertoe & I think it'll look lovely with a slipped stitch pattern.

I received my parcel a couple of weeks ago but due to the threat of more flooding and Tooth ache I posted my parcel a bit later than Ali plus the Canadian postage service seems a bit sluggish but she has now received her yarn & loves what I sent her.

Thanks very much Ali. I've enjoyed spoiling you & feel very honoured that you've spoilt me so well

BTW: the laces aren't in the second photo as they were quickly liberated by DD & are now housed in her Converse shoes....

Hmm what lovely yarn! A very nice gift. I am very tempted by the fairisle socks on that site - so pretty. Hope you are all still flood free
