One less item in the knitting basket, yet again.

I'm quite pleased with the cushion I made for the swap. The many twisting cables. The softly variegated wool. The vintage buttons.

Yes, quite pleased indeed. I only hope my swap partner agrees.

Ravelry.

Pin cushion swap...

Yesterday I cut, pinned and stitched until I heard the mail man linger at my mail box and joy leaped a little in my heart.

Three envelopes, one package and one magazine.

Cushion sewing abandoned.

Jodi made a knitted pincushion for me, as part of Kate's pin cushion swap. As a very novice knitter I am left marveling at Jodi's piece and unable to guess how she created it.

Jodi was also really thoughtful with the little presents that accompanied the pin cushion and I was really delighted to find a feed sack in with the fabric and pins.

Feed sack count now: 3.

Also in the mail and quickly being flicked through amongst the sewing, Frankie magazine.

Filled with lots of lovely bits and pieces, like Catherine Campbell's drawing and a tutorial from Pip.

Cushion sewing still sitting on dining table.

Pincushion swap....

Finished and and in the post.

With some fabric and buttons to keep this little pear company.

Hope my partner likes it!

Thanks Kate for the swapping chance.

PS. I have joined Sarah's Great Apron Swap. The more the merrier I say. Don't you just love a good swap?
