What a beautiful surprise! The parcel, which had gone by train and ship to Norway, I guess, came to my summer place! I was able to send a "thank you"-mail to Els, via cell phone Internet connection. But as the connection was very "tardy", I never got to the news group.
BOTH of the squares were home spun! Silk, sari silk + silk ribbon!!!! Two different qualities of yarn; one turquise, one red. Two different pattern! VERY nice and VERY special! I want to say THANK YOU so all RCTY can hear it!!
In addition, I got a pretty "knitting pretty" calendar, which now is on the wall beside my desk, AND a very interesting and nice magazine with many beautiful articles about embroidery, some with patterns, and also a knitting pattern. No wonder that to mail this parcel from Canada to Norway by plain, would have been extremely expensive!!!!
I had to show it to my sister and SIL, and all handicraft lovers who visited me! they were all impressed of Els' work and what else I had got from Vancover Island, and also impressed about the 6x6 idea!
