Sorry for the silence, but I've been packing - we're moving house in one week's time! I'll finally have my own wool room (well, office, but you know what I mean)!
So please excuse me for another week or two, and then the usual program will go on here at worsted-knitt.net!
Thanks so much Angie! I received my package from the UK today, and just had to post. Just look how beautifully everything was packed! And what was inside? Just look:
The yarn was a Noro Kureyon sock yarn, a yarn I adore but usually am too cheap to buy :) What wonderful colours!
There was also a handmade bag with fluffy yarn and zipper closing - this is definitely a keeper! Angie had also made me a Christmas snowflake decoration which I really, really like.
I went back to Finland, my native country and forever home for a week and got back a few days ago. I actually knit 6 rounds of a cowl while there, but also went swimming once, visited Imatra and the Vuoksi rapids (it was a 500 km drive there and it was a HOT day!), spent lots of time with family and generally just had a great, great time.
Didn't buy any yarn either! Success!
Here are a few impressions from this year:
I've been really busy knitting for Knit a Square. The Knit a Squillion challenge should be over by now (I didn't find any info or stats of an "official ending" though), but the squares are still needed.
So I made about 40 of then in the first half a year of 2012. Here they all are! I actually forgot to count them before sending them off, but there should be about 40. I've used up so much yarn, scraps and lonely balls to make these squares, they are truly the best stash busting knit I know of.
Last week I posted about the 100 Beanie Drive charity action and promised to myself (and all of you, too) that I'd make a beanie or a few.
