My birthday was a week ago, and I still need to post about it, but today I have a present to blog.

Over on Ravelry (are you there yet?  150,000 other knitters & crocheters are!), I did a birthday swap.  My partner was Veronica from Uruguay.  We were getting worried that the package she sent me was floating in the ocean (“It better not be,” she told me.  “There’s Malabrigo sock yarn in there!”) because the USPS didn’t have any record of it.  But it came today and it’s wonderful!

The whole shebang:  cute sheepy mug, 3 skeins of yarn (all sock yarn, yay!), tea, a bracelet (that actually fits; either she post-stalked me and read the one in LSG about wrist size or she guessed really really well.  My wrists are tiny and bracelets are always way too huge, like big enough to be anklets), some gorgeous rocks, and sweets (I only set out one of each kind – she included more than one of each).

Inside of the mug.  ¡Ovejas!  Baaaa!

¡dulces!

¡pulsera perfecta y te!  Funny: The tea is called cedron, and at first I thought it said cabron, which is something completely different and would have been hilarious.

¡Gracias por todo, Vero! ¡Todo es perfecto!
