Swap Pressie Arrived

My mailman dropped off 2 parcels yesterday, one of which was from Karyn in sunny California. She had sent me two patterns for Isabelle, which were greatly appreciated and will be knit up in the near future. She also included a ball of Magic Stripes yarn in one of my favourite colors, and some little lollies called Smarties, which look nothing like our Smarties here in Australia, but I will be sure to send her some of ours to try out in the near future. Thank you so much Karyn for the pressies, and I hope that you receive yours soon. It made me feel much better as I have been suffering from a severe headache, and after reading the notes on the medicine that the doctor gave me, I think my headache and other symptoms were from the medicine. Since not taking any my headache has begun to subside, even though I still feel a bit wonky from having it for so long.

The other parcel was from Crochet Australia. I looked on their website and found some cotton that I had not seen before but it looked very nice, and since I have it I can say that it is very soft. I chose 3 different colors, but I do not have it next to me to say what they are but their website makes it easy to choose anyway. I am thinking maybe some hats or socks to make with this, or something else. It will go into the little (rather large really) stash box for now until I decide. So I hope that you all have a great knitting day or night!

Hope your headache clears up. Thanks for the offer to visit tomorrow and help with my sidebar. I really appreciate it and will see you then.
Cheers Gillian

Is your headache gone now? You need a clear head to make all those knitted goodies. The yarns just look amazing. In my part of the world, nobody does knitting anymore.

Ooooh, that definitely looks good, that cotton. I will have to venture over and take a look myself. Love the fabric too. I notice you're in Melton. I am not far from there - do you have any yarn shops there?
