Random Acts of Kindness

What can I tell about this group on Ravelry. This group is for giving without expecting anything in return, and possibly receiving gifts that you don't deserve!

Today I received a wonderful gift from Morgan, a set of books. The Amber books are for Reese as he has his Dutch exam in May and reading some Dutch will be a benefit for him. Though it is very weird to read some fragments in Dutch when you just have read the English version for the second time.
The other book, Ancestors of Avalon by Diana L. Paxson is for me. I love reading fantasy.
Morgan, thanks so much, you rock!

Fantasy is the best! That's almost the only genre in my bookshelf! I've never read the Avalon books though, have to try them some day.

RAK is wonderful! I'm soon about to send out a few packages myself, and I hope they'll brighten someones day. :)

Mini Swap

Het sneeuwt... alweer. Echt zo'n dag om binnen te blijven. Dan... verrassing! Postbode aan de deur met een pakketje voor mij! Natuurlijk meteen aan de slag gegaan om te neuzen wat er in zat, kan ook moeilijk anders met D. die dan weer erg nieuwsgierig is. Het begin was al veelbelovend: Een lief kaartje erbij van mijn geheime swapmaatje die schreef al vaker iets voor me samen te hebben gesteld en dat het niet mee was gevallen weer iets nieuws te verzinnen... Iets dat ik heel goed begrijp. Vervolgens zijn we gaan uitpakken, altijd handig met een paar extra handen erbij. En dit is het resultaat: Mooi!!! Hier de foto's van dichtbij om een en ander te verduidelijken. Een zeer persoonlijke rolcentimeter (is dit wel een Nederlands woord?), prachtig paars en voorzien van naam. Ook een omslag voor een opschrijfboekje en een pen, altijd handig. Helemaal zelf gevilt (denk ik) en op maat gemaakt. Prachtig werk, in het echt zoveel mooier dan op de foto's. Hier een opname van de

Yarn contest

Image
Every once in a while I enter my name in a yarn contest at someones blog. Not that I ever did win something :-). But I like the idea and that is why I decided to do a small contest on this blog. Rules are simple, you have only to enter your name and tell me your favourite colourway on my Rainbow blog. That will help me to determine what colourway(s) I should dye more often. What you could win is Riverside , a skein of 75% Blue Faced Leicester/ 25% nylon sock yarn. Superwash treated, hard wearing and non felting. The yarn has a greatly soft feel and is hand painted. The skein is approximately 100 grams (3.5 oz) and 350 meter (383 yard). Fingering weight, recommended needle size is 2.5 mm. With the skein a set of 4 stitch markers, hand crafted by Dory and me. I will close the contest by next Monday, 15-10-2007 at 9 pm (UK time). The name of the winner will be randomly selected by my 3 year old daughter, who cannot read. You are all welcome to join this contest. To win the yarn will have

The mittens and one UFO finished

Image
No more gifts came free yet, half of the yarn is used. I am making up my mind what to knit with the rest of the yarn, jumping between a headband, wrist warmers, a hat, baby booties... And I finally finished one of my hibernating projects, a skirt for Dory, made of hand spun wool, dyed with natural dyed. I like how it turned out.
