Guilty Pleasures/Good Karma Round 1

For the swap that I organize on Ravelry (Guilty Pleasures/Good Karma), this is what I received for Round 1 from the very sweet Karleary:



Karen was generous enough to send me some yummy Manos del Uruguay for a project on my knitting queue and some super pretty indy yarn from PA! Here is a close up:


Not only did she send me all kinds of sweet treats & knitting goodies, she was thoughtful enough to send me some medieval patterns!! How cool is this?!

Here is a box of items I knitted for Warm Woolies. I sent it to them last month & am getting another box ready to send now.

I went to an academic conference last weekend & as I was walking around knitting, I had people come up to me and ask what I was working on. It gave me great pleasure to evangelize about Warm Woolies, so I hope more and more people will be knitting for them now :)
