I received my Loopy Ewe Swap package today from Michelle. I'm still feeling a bit shocked and speechless about the amazing package she sent me. First there is the Juno Regina lace shawl she knit me in Chewy Spaghetti Capellini, a silk and merino blend, in the color Sullen. The pictures at Ravelry are phenomenal, or Flickr if you aren't a Ravelry member. The shawl is gorgeous. Words don't do it justice. She sent along a matching (seriously, can you believe this?) shawl pin from Moving Mud. Then she spun me some sock yarn. Handspun sock yarn. For me. I'm stunned. The roving is from SakinaNeedles in the color Bioluminescence. The blues and greens are beautiful. She also sent along a skein of Dream in Color Smooshy sock yarn in Deep Seaflower which is a fantastic blend of purples and blues. And there is still more. She sent a Rowan book I've wanted, Tadpoles and Tiddlers. It full of great kid (baby to age 10) sweaters and hats. There are two nifty reusable shopping bags that zip up into little packages so they fit in my purse, a yummy chocolate bar with macadamia nuts and cranberries and an adorable sheep notecard. Thank you Michelle. My package is amazing! It obvious you put a lot of thought and effort into what you choose for me. It's all perfect.

Preston the Purple Elephante
Today I mailed my package off for the Loopy Ewe Swap. I am very pleased with the project I chose and how it turned out. The swap was to knit something made from yarn bought at the Loopy Ewe. I wanted to do something different, since I think most people were going to knit socks, and made an Elephante (link to a pdf). I lurve him. It was hard to send him away this morning. All the details can be found here at Ravelry.
