During the past week, a long time acquaintance of mine in the needlearts world dropped off a box for me on my door step. The many needlepoint and counted cross stitch kits and canvasses will be donated to Adult Ed, but I'm keeping these skeins of DMC #5 perle cotton. I love perle cotton. I use it in freestyle embroidery, primitive quilting, and crochet. I believe this is part of a crafter's estate.

I also just finished three knitted dishcloths for a swap on Ravelry. I made them this past weekend while on a trip out of state. I knitted in the airport, on the plane, in the hotel, and at the Red Rocks Ampitheatre outside of Denver. I'll be shipping them to my swap partner in Massachusetts very soon, along with a few other kitchen items (souvenir ceramic trivet from my hometown, a California Sunflowers potholder, a whisk, and a recipe for Fresh Strawberry Pie, as our county is one of the largest strawberry producers in the world). Hope she likes them!
