Canadian connection

Sometimes there are small miracles

that appear out of the blue !

You might remember

that I posted about a scarf I was knitting

with an intricate pattern.

(the "petalcowl")

Originally it was knit in the round

(which I managed to do)

but I wanted to do it again, but now flat.

I had this wonderful yarn for a long time in my stash
and started right away,

thinking I would have enough

to finish the scarf.

But oh dear ...

I soon realized 2 balls weren't nearly enough !!!

I found out right away 

that this particular colour was discontinued !

So WHO could help me ?

I tried several people on "RAVELRY"

who said they had this yarn in their stash .....

After a few days, and negative answers .....

there was this sweet lady, all the way in Canada,

who said I could have her yarn !!!

She posted it right away !

Very special was that she remembered her father telling

he loved Holland, which he (as a young soldier)

had helped liberate in WW II

(I made her a sweet return package 

with some postcards and other goodies)

Last Wednesday Janie's package finally arrived YIPPIIIIIEEEE

(she was already worried and had told me

the Canadian post was slow ...)

YES ! two balls wonderful Mini Mochi  !!!

Mmmmmm knitting again !

Lucky me

THANK  YOU  SOOOOO  MUCH  JANIE !

For the market I finished the two new

necklaces

"Droplets"

One side of the "drops" is blue,

the other side purple

(I stitched the edge with cotton perlé)

"Rainbow"

And ohhhh ....
