Discworld Swap- Long with lots of pictures

Recently I took part in a swap on Ravelry. The Ankh-Morpork Knitter's Guild ( a group for fans of Terry Pratchett's books) ran a swap with the theme "I'm just sending this box so my partner can have cardboard for their boots and I was guilted into putting stuff in it". (Trust me it makes sense if you've read his books). In a swap you are partnered with another person and you each send a box of stuff to each other.

Because I have experience with shipping over seas, I was partnered with Cat (Cattitude on Ravelry) who is from the Netherlands. The pictures below show the stuff I sent her.


Now to the fun part; What she sent me :-)

These great fingerless gloves have the symbols of Discworld's DEATH a common character in the books.

Cat also knitted these comfy socks to which she added 2 pins. One of Rincwind and one of a feagle.


Next she included a print of the Knitters guild coat of arms, a cute sheep and a wooden shoe. Also in the paper category are some cards with Discworld art and stamps from Going Postal.


Cat added several types of tea and candy from the Netherlands. The licorice is the good stuff not the weaker American version.


I'm going to have to come up with something cool to knit with the yarn she sent. The yarn is from Uberwald (Germany) and Genua (Italy)



Now for the Last and most awesome thing Cat sent. A knitted Granny Doll!!! I now have Granny sitting over my desk watching me work and design.



You can't really see it in these pictures but she a small yarn and knitting needle charm hanging from her belt as well.

All in all this was a wonderful experience and I love what Cat sent me. She was quite generous and thoughtful with her box and I can't thank her enough.

I'm defiantly doing this again.
