Early this week I received a fantastic swap package from Finland, an individual swap that we decided to do by ourselves. My swap partner wanted KnitPick yarns, and in turn she sent me yarns from Finland. I really feel I got the better deal. I like Knitpick yarns, I just like yarns from another country much better.
So, in the package were angel stitch markers and a heart necklace, made by Tiina, and a polar bear keychain. I love these!
Some Kamena lace dyed by Tiina in a very pretty coral:
Mokka-Sukka sock yarn in gorgeous reddish-browns and brown. I love this sock yarn. It has a Zitron base but is dyed in Finland. I've seen other colorways in stash at Ravelry and just love it!
Haandu in wool, bamboo, and mohair. I saw a lot of socks made out of this at Ravelry, but I don't know. It's too pretty for socks.
Novetta Cloud, wool-bamboo mix in red and green. I'm not sure what I'm going to make yet - Tapestry cowl, hat, neck warmer? It's next-to-skin soft and I love the colors. I need to relearn color knitting techniques.
Faro lace in a gorgeous brown:
Kettle holders also made by Tiina. They're very Christmasy and already in use.
I loved my swap package, Tiina! We're thinking about doing this again in the spring.
I'm off to do venue hunting with Keri! She has some good ideas.
