A while ago, a cousin asked for a phone cozy, he's cool and this would be the first knitted thing he asks, so I said "sure, which colors do you want?", then he said the most awful words someone can say to a knitter IMO: "just one, black", the moment those words left my cousin's mouth I felt the urge to gulp down a hole bottle of vodka, to grow claws and maim him, and running all the way to Peru,Itakohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08675418681937744998noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6344038307114890906.post-20586951751480552772013-01-12T00:05:00.002-08:002013-01-12T00:05:57.685-08:002013 Knitting ResolutionsYo!

Rescuing the Past - "Enchanting your projects"
Ladies and gentlemen I'm back, after the Bloh Hub Swap week, I decided to take a little break - wich is an euphemism for: I had to write a million of papers for college, and also, I had to help Burrito Bison to escape CandyLand- Now, while I enjoy my Easters holiday, I think its the most appropriate time to start blogging again ...

This is - finally- the final day of this swap ... These 8 days are among the best I've had, although it didn't travel to any interesting place, or do anything truly transcendental its the truth, these days were, and this time I say this with all property and intention, fucking awesome...

This is technically the last day of the swap... but as I mentioned yesterday, gings sent an extra package, of which I'll blog tomorrow ... But that doesn't keeps me from feeling pretty much like this:
Sad ... I know ... But I won't let it ruin my day ... GOOO day 7!!!
Today's package was strangely flat, and somewhat soft too ...

We approach to the inevitable and depressing end of this swap, there are only 2 more days - yes, two ... There is an extra packet that I decided to save for the last day :D- These past 6 days have been incredible and truly enjoyable... But enough sentimentality, lest get into business - I always wanted to say that- ...

Today’s package was one of the largest, after the wool, inside the box. At touch it didn’t give many clues of what might be its content, unless they were giant pills ...
The lovely card of the day, indicated that it was something related to a hobby ... Hmmm giants pills related hobbies? Gings, what are you up to?

The card of the day, though lovely as always, did not give me many clues ... Or so I thought...
