This week I rec this wonderful swap from my partner Bette in VA, USA. I couldn`t believe my eyes when I saw all she had sent. Alpaca yarn, alpaca scarf, lots of tea, a cute tea cosy, teapot with mug, flour for making scones, flavoured coffee, sweets. It was even gifts for my daughter. Thanks a lot Bette. I`ve got a new friend. :)

Topic of the week three - Fall into autumn dishcloth swap

The question is what we like about the autumn. It`s quite easy to answer: the autumn colors, dark nights, burning candles, being creative, producing Christmas gifts.

Repost- topic of the week two, Fall into autumn dishcloth swap

I decided to delete my previous answer to this as I got some unwanted comment/spam to my post. Anyway. If I use thick cotton or double yarn I use circular needles 4.5 mm. For thinner cotton I use needles, 2.5-3. I mostly use bamboo needles, but have no problem using metall too. I`ve loved the thick cotton yarn I`ve got from a facebook secret pal in Canada. I`m not too familiar with what cotton there is in other coutnries, but it`s always interesting to try new yarn.

Hemmelig venn september - Hobbyboden/Secret pal September


I dag fikk jeg denne flotte pakke fra en dame i Sarpsborg. Alpakka er en stor favoritt her. Disse skal det nok bli sokker av. A great gift from a secret pal in a Norwegian online group called Hobbyboden. Alpaca is a big fave here.
