January Colorswap! & Other Notes
I had a lovely box of fun things sent to me by Juli and it came this week. It was full of some wonderful goodies, both to knit up and to drink.
Inside, there were two kinds of coffee, some white chocolate cocoa, teas of all kinds, two bookmarks, and yarn! There was a skein of Dune in golds, purples and greens, a skein of a boucle yarn with a metallic thread wrapped around it, two yarns from Australia, one a ribbon with a sheen to it and the other a novelty type yarn with just about every color of the rainbow in it, also there was a ball of knit-cro-sheen in white with gold thread.
Thank you so much Juli!
I am looking for a ruffled shawl to make. We have the pattern for this one from Fiber Trends at the shop, and I can buy it at a discount, but it's not quite what I'm looking for, I think.
This one, though, is the one that set my heart on a ruffled shawl, and I can't find the pattern for sale on the website. I've just lost it. I saved the picture and thought I'd saved the url, but cannot find it anywhere. I'm going to try a couple more searches to see if it comes up. Otherwise, if anyone out there can identify it, I would like to buy it and make it.
This next photo just cracked me up. I am easily entertained. I saw it on a mommy blog and thought I'd post it here for you to enjoy.
Have a great day!

January Assignments Sent
I have sent out the assignments for January's Color Swap. I forgot to ask everyone to email me when you get your assignment just so I know you received it.
The color theme is Metallic, and I'm interpreting that pretty broadly, to include sparkly, shimmery, glittery, not just gold, silver, copper, bronze, etc. So, now that you have your assignment, you can go snoop on your partner's blog and see what she's interested in and what kinds of things she likes, and have fun finding things with which to spoil and surprise her.
I just want to reiterate that the total cost for this should be at least $25, including shipping and packaging. Please send your package by January 20th to make sure that it is received by the 31st. Also, this is supposed to be fun, not just a way to grub for stuff. So, please don't complain on your blog about your partner, if you have a problem, please email me about it and I'll see what I can do. Enjoy finding fun things that fit within the color theme to send, and enjoy the fun of receiving a swap package!
Another thing: I am not very artistic when it comes to drawing and painting, so if anyone out there can come up with a good Color Swap 2007 button, I will award a prize to the one I like best. Email me the button, jpg or gif please, with your name, email address and a snail mail address, so I can send you your prize.
Here is a list of January's participants:

Have fun everyone!
