Cute n Quirky January Swap

Last month I took part in the Cute n Quirky swap again.   This is a group on the Ravelry website that swap items between members under a particular theme.   Last month's theme was Space and this is what I received from inittoknitit94:

As you can see the main theme of the parcel was stars; including stickers, sweets and ribbon.   And she had made a sun catcher, a crocheted alien and crocheted planet.   They are so cute and I love all the things sent.

And this is the parcel that I put together for Odds0cks:

I made a mini planet and alien from "teeny tiny mochimochi" by Anna Hrachovec and the star is my own pattern.   I have been trying to knit a star for ages but with no luck until this little one materialised.   I think I'll be making more of these in the future!

October “Cute & Quirky” Swap – Part 1

As mentioned in my previous swap this month I took part in a swap through a Ravelry group.   The subject of the swap was either Happy Halloween or Amazing Autumn.   I chose to receive a parcel containing items under the theme of Amazing Autumn as I just love this time of year with the wonderful colours from the changing of the seasons and cosy feeling you get when the nights start drawing in.

I would like to say a big thank you to Katie (Odds0cks) who sent me this:

Everything is so cute!   I love the ribbon and the sparkly thread (everything I make for the next few weeks is going to be covered in it!!) and, of course, chocolate is always warmly received.   But the piece de resistance was ‘Bernie’ the Conker which Katie made herself.

I have really enjoyed this swap and am looking forward to doing another one soon.   And if you’d like to see what was in the parcel I put together then follow this link to inittoknitit’s blog – I’ll post a bit more about my Halloween makes later this week.  J
