Swap

I recently participated in a swap through a Ravelry Group (Good Things Together). I was very fortunate to be paired up with the group's moderator, Audry (Auchgan on Ravelry). The swap was for a handmade brooch, a skein of yarn and a postcard. We all also decided that throwing in 2-3 extra goodies would be nice as well. With the many, many patterns for brooches or things that could be turned into brooches it was very hard to narrow in on just one pattern (not just for me). As it turns out, everyone seems to have made 2-3 for our partners.

Audry and I both rec'd our packages yesterday. It was so fun and exciting to go through and look at all of the goodies. I rec'd 3 beautiful brooches, a really fun sock monkey tape measure, a fun toy for the kids, a bath mitt, a couple of note pads, a really cool postcard and 2 fabulous skeins of Australian yarn.

Audry's pics of the package I sent to her are better than the ones I took so I'm going to try to snag hers to post here. I sent a skein of soft bamboo yarn, a bar of chocolate, a Russian icon magnet, a handmade lace bookmark and 3 brooches (a cupcake, a folded fabric rose and 3 hearts knit from lace weight yarn).

I think it was a wonderful swap and a really great experience. I'm sure I'll do many more in the future.
