Winter Scarf Knit Kit Swap
I got home tonight to find this box on my doorstep :
it was from my partner in the Winter Scarf Knit Kit swap, Evelyn, and it had all these wonderful things in it -
2 balls of wonderful Manos del Uruguay and a pair of Susan Bates acrylic needles to knit my scarf…the colours of the Manos are fantastic and I’ve already cast on and started knitting a reversible rib scarf. Also for the swap a lovely mug with little jewels on it and a box of organic green tea (my favourite!)
Plus…extras!!! Evelyn said she had put in the book and the Kool Aid to “fill in the space in the box” - beats little polystyrene bids any day!!
Also there were some chocs inside the mug and some butterfly shaped post it notes.
I love everything! Thankyou Evelyn so much. The book looks really interesting Died in the Wool by Mary Kruger combining my favourite type of books - mystery - with my favourite pasttime - knitting. Looking forward to reading it.

[…] is what I did with the Winter Scarf Knit Kit I posted about in my last post. It’s a super long. super warm scarf in the wonderful Manos del Uruguay. Evelyn suggested the “my so called scarf” pattern but (sorry Evelyn) I decided I have lots of shorter scarves and fancied a really long one but also a scarf that was reversible so I just improvised with a rib pattern from an old knitting book.
