A few weeks ago I signed up for a knitted dish cloth swap over at Down to Earth. It was just my sort of swap as I do love a knitted dish cloth for doing the washing up with. I was really lucky to have Jen from The Woollen Earth as my swap partner. Jen lives in Nova Scotia and has an online speciality yarn store and also designs her own knitting patterns, a very talented lady.
Anyway, this morning a parcel arrived all the way from Canade and in it was the most deliciously soft 'Ecoknit' organic cotton dish cloth in a beautiful light-khaki tone (Jen says this is the natural cotton colour) plus a whole skein of this beautiful yarn for me to knit something with too. Jen also inclued a family recipe for Coffee Bars - they sound very tasty - and a Nova Scotian made maple syrup candy (which was popped in my mouth before I even thought about including it in the photo, and exceedingly yummy it was too.) Thank you so much for the parcel, Jen, I'm thrilled with it all.
I'll hold fire with showing you what I sent Jen as she's not received the parcel as yet. I'm off to Bristol tomorrow for 10 days where highlights will include a certain young nephew's birthday, plus Mum and I are hoping to visit the Vintage and Handmade Textile Fair on 4th June too.
