May Swap

Note to any and all swap partners- if not satisfied with the swap you have received, I appreciate a direct and *personal* email about the situation (as opposed to, say, a public message on flickr.) It hasn't happened yet (to me), but I'm just sayin'….
First ever crochet object- drawstring bag
Originally uploaded by indigogo.
I had fun making this drawstring bag in crochet for my May Swap partner- who is again in Portugal… I used a great yarn called "Portofino Paper" in Mandarine. Click the following link for a better picture of this type of yarn. It's a sort of cotton boucle with multicoloured paper twisted around it- it feels like paper too, when you've got your hook in it, but it's kind of pleasant to work with. I wonder how long it will take before I'm WIPping out clothes from the "Happy Hooker" book?

Inma sent this wonderful box of stuff for the April swap! I feel lucky- everything is amazing. The purple and green notebook that you see in the middle is something that you have to see in person to believe: beautiful sparkles on a thick purple paper cover. Plus she used her talents to produce a purple and green multi-beaded charm which you can't see in this pic, since it's in the purple striped box. I will have to send her a note to thank her.
