Swaps and Scarves

Hello!

A while back I mentioned that I was doing a swap on ravelry! It was a lot of fun, and I'm finally getting around to posting some pictures.

One of the things I sent was a crochet hook case, it was really easy to make and I really liked it a lot!

I sent some other things as well, but this was by far my favorite! I want to make one for myself at some point.

I also made some dishcloths, place markers, snowflake ornaments, and I sent some yarn.

I really enjoyed doing the swap, here are some pictures of what was sent to me.

I couldn't believe how many wonderful things were in this package! There was a TON of yarn, some of it was cotton, some wool and even alpaca, all of which I LOVE! =D

There were so many goodies, it made me very happy! I love everything. =)

It is going to be a while before I actually finish using all of this yarn, I made myself a cowl out of a skein of the alpaca yarn. It is so soft and warm, I love it! I made it special for our Christmas Eve church service.

Another thing I made special for Christmas Eve was a hairpin. It has sparkles in it, so I thought it looked festive. =)

Swap 2

Right before Christmas, my grandma, mom, sisters and I decided we should do a swap together and trade around New Years. I drew my grandma's name and she drew mine, it was funny that we got each other! =) I made her a teal crochet hook case, which I forgot to take a picture of for my blog, but you can kind of picture it yourself, it's the same case as the one I showed you earlier on in this post. Grandma made me a BEAUTIFUL doily, it's green and white. The white has sparkles in it that look like snow, the picture I took doesn't do it justice, it's hard to get good pictures of doilies sometimes.

She also got me a hanging angel, which looks really nice on the doily!

Lastly, I made this scarf for friend. I got the pattern out of a One Skein Wonder book that I got for Christmas...the book is amazing!

I would have liked to get a better picture of it by taking it outside. However, the day that I took the picture, our wind chill temperature was minus 7, so I stayed inside that afternoon! =) My sister and I went for a walk that morning though, we decided we wouldn't do that again when it's that cold and windy, it was still fun though! =)

Well, that's all for now! Have a wonderful day!
