A wonderful little blog called Craftaholics Anonymous puts on an event called Handmade Gift Exchange
I decided to participate this year. My partner was Kristin from My Junk Drawer.
I send her a crocheted scarf and three dishcloths. You may remember the dishcloths from my post about Christmas Cloths (Set 2). I forgot however to take photos of the scarf before I sent it out. I love the scarf pattern I used. It is one of my favorites to crochet. Here is one of my other scarves using that pattern:
It is lacy and airy and that is why I picked that pattern because Kristen lives in California. She told me she loves scarves and the color green so I made her a green scarf with this yarn:
Everyone likes a little sparkle right?
In exchange, Kristen sent me this:
A sign for my craft books shelf and a pin for my coat. I love them.
She emailed me last week saying her son had colored all over what she had made me. I know her pain. My daughter has left her mark on more than one of my crafts. I like these substitutes, but I probably would have enjoyed anything she made.
I know there is another exchange in the summer and I will definitely participate again.
