Swappin’ Fun

 

A couple of posts back (here), I mentioned the items I made for a crochet swap I’m taking part in on one of the forums I go to. Yesterday, I received my items from my partner, and I have to say they’re pretty awesome.

My package included a neat little crocheted bag, just the right size for carrying the necessities, a cool t-shirt with a crochet hook skull transfer, a crochet magazine written in Spanish–a language I don’t speak, but it has charts, which my partner and I both are hoping I can decipher–, some great lil’ stitch markers in an Asian theme (pictured above), and four balls of size 20 crochet thread in yummy colors. There were also a couple of non-crochet related items: a handmade bar of soap and a great wire-wrapped pendant/necklace (seen above).

It was really quick and easy, so I ended up making two. It’s actually been a couple of weeks since I completed them, but I had some photo problems, which are worked out now.

I also made Mom and angel to match these, which I’ll post when I get the photos taken.

It felt good to actually finish a project, but I’m getting closer to finishing my larger projects everyday, which will feel even better, I’m sure.
