~a giving swap~

"Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love." Lao Tzu I made a gift. This is the pattern. It is meant to be a sundress. But I thought,"why not a fall jumper?" So I proceeded confidently. a knit bodice... Crisscrossed in the back... I decided on two strands of Sundara... two separate but complimenting colors, with a profound result. very regal... so it was perfect for this little princess. a deep regal purple baby corduroy... I made pleats...instead of gathers... and of course it had to be lined with a lighter color sateen. After all it is for a princess. She loves it... so happy she twirled and twirled... I should have had a modeled view... but she wore it with a pink polka dot top {smile} she is after all a princess...so she may do as she likes... Do you have this book ? As I said earlier, I have been thinking about giving... and wondering if you wanted to as well. I would like to organize a swap. A Knitter's Magic Yarn ball swap. And am looking for say...30-50 people to pair up for this. The idea is simple. You wind a skein of yarn around some trinkets... let's say you start with a small pincushion...or whatever... and continue to wind...adding a few things here and there... and finally you have a ball. All wound with treasures to share. tie it with a pretty ribbon and send it off. We could aim to send it the first of the new year... I know this year unfortunately is rapidly approaching an end. So let me know if you are interested. I will do the match ups and send each person their partner. I'd like to have all interested names and emails by the beginning of December. I think this sort of kindness is something we all could use now and again. So...what do you think??
