You received a parcel of "crappy" yarn from a partner and sent one to a partner. Once received you made something from the parcel you received from someone and made something to send to your "send to" partner. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>I made this Boa - I guess my partner wasn't "into" taupe and black. Now, to be fair, I did add some fibres to the mix as was allowed but had some great stuff to work with. I hope Gina in Quebec likes the boa. </div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6559093309221680001-8959686569292711440?l=craftiva.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Ellenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11718804467054754929noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559093309221680001.post-1796208159701205912007-05-25T12:29:00.001-07:002007-05-25T12:29:48.196-07:00<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6559093309221680001-179620815970120591?l=craftiva.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Ellenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11718804467054754929noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559093309221680001.post-45508327962902406102007-05-25T12:26:00.000-07:002007-05-25T12:29:30.184-07:00<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_q1xMiih_5Cg/Rlc4542XZGI/AAAAAAAAAAU/r263JWHQutE/s1600-h/HPIM0239.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5068582472792892514" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_q1xMiih_5Cg/Rlc4542XZGI/AAAAAAAAAAU/r263JWHQutE/s320/HPIM0239.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Here are a couple of bookmarks I made for a private swap.
