Not such a deadbeat Swap partner

I have been feeling like a complete deadbeat. Due to a horrible cold, really gross winter weather and pre-traveling holiday stress, I didn't get a chance to mail my package until I was on holiday. The parcel was all packaged up in my luggage and I'm sure it's the reason my luggage was delayed 2 days (and why the brown paper's all ripped on the front). The TSA dude even left his gloves in my bag when he was repacking, it was kind of gross to find them. But hopefully my swap spoilee shall get them soon.


Upon my arrival back home, I found a fabulous little parcel waiting for me which I immediately tore open. Here's the fabulous mitteny goodness that I got from Katie of YarnLove. A fabulous custom-pattern, hand-dyed pair of stranded AND thrummed mittens that will be just perfect for the sometimes extremely bitter Montreal winters. Fortunately I haven't had to wear them yet, but I'm prepare for when winter decides to get nasty!

They have appropriately impressed the Sunday Montreal Knits group who never thought of combing a stranded cuff with thrums.

Thanks again Katie!
