Barbara exchange gifts

Here is my special gifts from my dishcloth exchange group.
Beautiful towel and dishcloths.
The blue cloth I made from one of the ball of yarn she sent me while I was drinking her cup of tea. Such a variety of tea and love them all.
Also sent me a set of circular needles and a notepad for the frig. Boy did I ever feel special.
Just wanted to say thanks again to Barbara.

Briley's exchange gifts and now bookmark Kal for June


Now I can post pictures of gifts from Brian.
Don't you just love his bookmark and his very own designed needle case. The one I made was the beige one for another gift.
A very talented young man and a very grateful receiver. I just love it as have so many needles can't even get them all into this case.
Thought I could now share this with everyone.
My bamboo 7.5's are all missing as they are the ones I am always using and have 4 cloth on the go, plus shawls, bookmarks, preemie hats etc etc,
But this has been such a fun journey and thanks for all the fun and encouragement.
Especially thank you Brian for this wonderful gift
you really inspire me to do more.
