I got my package from Kristina a couple of weeks ago, and it was great! I sent her an e-mail thank you. But before I posted the "thank you" here, I wanted to take a picture and get it posted on my blog. Now for some of you, this would take all of 10 minutes, but I had to figure out how to use the digital camera, load the picture on the computer, get the old blog I started in 2002 (yes, 2002!) updated, upload the picture, write a little post & get the blog info here on my signature line. So, it took me about 2 weeks! But now, I should be ready, so, Thank You Kristina!! Go to the blog to see the goodies (I hope it works, I hope it works, I hope it works!)

OK, so no link on the last post. I added it to my signature line-let's see if it works that way. Kathy

Megan,
So happy you liked the parcel - I had so much fun putting it together! I really think we should go straight onto the next Hot Socks Swap!!
I love making the little gnomes and I just received another book in the mail - The Knitted Farmyard. I'll let you know what I knit from it. My daughter would like a pig - she is desperate for one when we get our farm (looking closer, girls. I have found a possibility and hubby is currently working on the house to get it ready for sale, with no prompting from me. I think being on holiday back home for a month made him think about it. Wish me luck!!)
It is a lovely, rainy day here - perfect for some knitting! Must finish the bands on that cardigan first though, boring as it is!
Happy knitting,
Jayne |

Hello Swappers!
It's so great to see so many awesome packages arriving on Farmgirls' doorsteps! Such great yarns and treats!
I've been meaning to check in to see if everyone has sent and received a package, but haven't had a chance until now. It seems as though most/many of you have received your packages.
Is there anyone who HAS NOT RECEIVED a package?
If so, please respond or let me know privately right away so we can employ some Farmgirl Hot Socks Swap Angels to the rescue!
Is there anyone who HAS NOT SENT a package?
If not, why not?!? Get a move on! Some sweet Farmgirl is sitting around somewhere waiting to start knitting her socks with a hot cuppa somethin'!
Happy knitting everyone!
Catherine

I havn't sent mine yet..but have emailed my gal and explained it to her..waiting for some special ordered yarn that is taking forever to get here. Gosh how I wish I had a local yarn shop closer than an hour and 1/2 away...or that I had ordered from somewhere else at this point!!

I haven't received mine yet, but my lovely partner has emailed me. Same story as Jenny; ordered from the internet so waiting for it to arrive. I can't wait to see it!!
Are we doing this again, Catherine? This has been one of my favourite swaps - and that was just making up a parcel for someone else, I haven't even seen mine yet!
Best wishes,
Jayne |

I agree, it was so much fun! Maybe we could do one that has something in it that our partner has knitted. Something simple like a dishcloth or something. I know I loved that Jayne included a little gnome that she had made in her package for me. Just a thought!

Alrighty! I just went through and reconciled the list with these posts here and it looks like we're A-OK. There are a few packages still waiting out there, but they are either delayed because of yarn orders (don't fret girls, good yarn is worth the wait!) or their senders have said that they're on the way!
Still keep us posted here about the last packages as they arrive. So fun to see photos and hear stories of "chocolate gone missing before photos!"
I have a few more ideas brewing for some spring yarn swaps and will post the options soon. Too, too fun!
Catherine, the one who's addicted to all things yarny :)

Julie-Blue Apple,
The package was wonderful thank you so much. I just love the yarn and pattern for the baby booties. I can't wait to start them. I love the entire box. The apron book was a wonderful added bonus. You did a great job on my box. Thank you.

Hello Hot Socks Swappers!
Just another check to make sure that those packages are being sent and received. For those of you who were still waiting on packages, have they arrived? I know that some were waiting for yarn orders, so they might not have been able to send yet. Please update when you receive your packages so we can close out this swap!
The sign-ups for the Spring Knit/Crochet Dishcloth Swap are open through Wednesday February 7th, so head on over there if you want to join another one!
Thanks for swapping!
Catherine :)

The special yarn I ordered for Knitty mama finally came and her package is winging it's way to Minnesota now....went out priority and will hopefully be to her in the next day or so.

Woohoo! Jenny, that was an AWESOME package. Love that yarn. How thoughtful and fun!
Is everyone else getting their stuff? Still so fun to hear about the last few packages as they land on their doorsteps!

Hi
Wow I really hate computers. We had the power supply go out and a problem with the motherboard but we are up and running again. I will get my package out tomorrow since the post office isn't open today. I was not smart enough to write down my swap partner's address before the computer crashed. Sorry for the delay.

Whoa! Well, I guess, better late than never! I assumed that all was well with this swap and that everyone had received their packages. So one more is on the way...anything else outstanding? Is anyone worried that their partner may have forgotten them? Send me an email if so, and we'll see what's up.

Hi Catherine,
My parcel hasn't arrived yet - I don't know whether to worry about it or not, being so far away; it may have been sent sea mail. I did notice though that my partner has only made 2 posts on MaryJane's and the last one was Dec 20th. What do you think?
Best wishes,
Jayne
(It will probably arrive tomorrow, now that I've mentioned it here!) |

Oh Jayne,
I feel terrible that you sent me such a wonderful package and you haven't gotten yours yet. I hope you get something soon. If not I may just have to send you a little something!

I'm on it! I'll be contacting the Farmgirl in question to see what's up! Rest assured, Jayne, that your Farmgirl Angels will cover you. No Farmgirl who participates so graciously in a swap should be left without a gift in kind!!!

Situation almost resolved. Just got an email from Grammy that the package was sent and was supposed to take a bit of time to get all the way down under. It can be tracked if it doesn't arrive in a timely fashion, so let's all stay in touch and hope that it gets there soon!
Anyone else out there without a package yet?
A special THANKS to the Farmgirls who offered to jump in to be a Hot Socks Swap Farmgirl Angel for Jayne! Farmgirls rock...
Catherine :)

Thanks Catherine and all other FarmGirl Angels,
I will let you know as soon as my package arrives - I never know whether I'm inconviencing people by entering swaps, but I so love making up the packages for other girls - that is reward enough for me!!
Best wishes,
Jayne |
