Think Pink Swap

I'm a member of the Think Pink group on Ravelry, a group dedicated to all things pink. This past week I received a great package in the mail from my swap pal in the first ever Think Pink Swap. My pal Lillian was so thoughtful!

First, some gorgeous Manos de Uruguay yarn in a lovely shade of pink. Isn't it yummy? I'm thinking it'll make a great pink scarf. Next, 2 patterns from Stitch diva, a DPN case, and a cute little notebook. Finally she included some great gifts from her visits to Japan: a cool leather bookmark, pretty Japanese stationary and some delicious chocolates with pralines and macadamia nuts!

Thanks so much Lillian, aka Craftlover!

This year's Mardi Gras celebration was a blast! Parades, balls, parties, king cakes, and tons of beads; it really wore me out! I've finally recovered and have a chance to share. I decided to give up television for Lent since my TV is always on and a huge distraction for me. That gives me more time for reading, audiobooks, studying for board exams and of course knitting! More updates to come!
