\nIt feels like I’ve taken forever to knit these gloves.
\nI’m hoping they don’t take too long to dry, as David’s sister (the recipient) arrives tomorrow afternoon to spend the weekend with us before she heads off to the UK for a year or two.

\nIt’s from the current issue of the Australian Creative Knitting. Sorry, the picture isn’t very good.
\nI received a great email last night. In amongst all the other great emails from people joining the lace swap, that is!
\nDavid’s cousin and his wife live in Queensland, 1300km away. Almost 3 years ago, they had a beautiful baby girl, so I knit up a few little pink things and sent them along. This is the same little girl whom I knit the little pink STYK cardi<\/a> for last year. Earlier this year, she got a baby brother. That would be the baby boy whom I knit the shawl<\/a> for.
\nSo yesterday I received a lovely email from P, the children’s mother.
\nThis is how it started.
