Have you ever been part of one of Emily's swaps? If you haven't, you have missed tremendous opportunities. She comes up with the most remarkable ideas for them.
The latest was called "The Winder of Our Discontent." Participants were to send a pattern of something small but warming (gloves, hat, scarf, etc.) and enough yarn to finish it, a warming treat, and a book or movie. The twist was that one of the things had to be pre-owned.
My box arrived yesterday:
Black tea and sea salt dark chocolate,
a novel,
Hiya stitch markers and what I am calling "Today Show" buttons (half solid, half rainbow-y pattern)
and
beautiful smooshy (it's name, I promise) cranberry yarn and a mitts pattern. You know I love me some mitts.
So, thank you, Marilyn!
And the rest of you, keep an eye out for future Emily swaps. Heck, just go to her website and/or her etsy store. Good things in both places!
