TeaTimeKnitters September Exchange

Ok, so I finally have all of the pictures together so I can make one big post about the exchange. My partner's name was Stacy and she's my age. Can you believe it? Anyway, I made her this lovely ice cream sundae cloth, and thats the mug I got her sitting there with it.
Ain't it cute?
And this is the whole package before boxing it up and shipping it. Some stash tea and dishcloth yarn and stickers and buttons and stuff. :-) And I think she really liked all of it, so that made me happy.

Here is the awsome package I got from her. I got some organic English Breakfast tea and some Stripes yarn and feltable lion wool and needles and adorable little stitch markers (see them in the corner of the cloth?) And black licorice sticks and coffee and a cool ceramic mug.


Here's a better picture of the cloth. Its a tea cup and one I've been meaning to make forever! :-) Thank You, Stacy!!!! I admit that since I've been out of town I haven't tried the tea yet, but I will and I think I will take it to the office because I am always cold there. :-)
I love exchanges. Although I'm in sooooo many this month, I may be in over my head. I have NO IDEA what to do for the white elephant exchange.

Tell me about the white elephant exchange. Or maybe, don't. I am a little overwhelmed with swaps, too. Didn't stop me from signing up for the Harmony Guide DC swap, though. Did you sign up for that?
I really like the sundae, do you remember where you found the pattern?
Still knitting the (not-so) skinny scarf for my exchange....

The white elephant exchange is supposed to be knitting related, but its also supposed to be ridiculous or unnecessary or in some other way just plain odd. Its a DDD thing, so you could go to the group site and read about it. Any ideas?

My daughter, Amanda, just finished the coffee cup dishcloth. She has been knitting dishcloths like crazy for Christmas gifts! I wish I had her ablity to concentrate. Sorry I missed seeing you last Friday-didn't know you were going to be in town.

GIVEAWAY!!!

As many of you know, I love working with hand dyed yarn.  I especially love Farm Girl Fiber yarn!  Bridgette has an eye for color and has a lot of fun with what she does.  That is why I am so super thrilled that Farm Girl Fiber is sponsoring this giveaway in honor of my opening an etsy shop!   Before the goods, a recap:  I made this Acorn Head hooded cowl for myself on Christmas this year.  I've known pretty much since I bought the yarn exactly what it was going to be, I just had to find time to do it.  This cowl was out of my FGF birthday yarn!  You can't tell in the picture, but it has just this hind of sparkle to it.  Love! I made 2 of these for two different swaps and I really wish I had made and kept one for myself while she still had the yarn!  It was so super soft and super bulky and fantastic!  Sometimes Farm Girl Fiber has very limited lots of things, so if you find something you love, you really need to snatch it up. ...

More Partying

Joining in with Tickle Me Tuesday!  I hope I'm not overloading you, but it's fun to party  ;-) I love this apron , but being a non-pinky, I wish it was blue. These amazing  soaps .   Yes, I said soaps!!! I can't stop looking at them.  One of these days I have to give in and order some. I want this  dress  sooooo bad. feminine, country, old fashioned... love. These  potholders  belong in my coffee themed kitchen.  I gaze at them often. So, those are just a few things tickling my fancy.  Sundresses are also tickling my fancy, if it would only get warm! Go visit the party and see what is tickling everyone else's fancy today!
