Well, the International Scarf Exchange has now come to an end for me. I have received my scarf and the scarf I sent has been received.

I’ve done a bit of re-decorating around the blog lately. Today, I added all of my FOs to my Flickr site and added the link over on the sidebar. These are only the things I have finished since I began blogging in July. I don’t have pictures of the stuff I did before that (mostly [...]

Meanwhile, I’ve had such fun with the International Scarf Exchange, I’ve decided to join the Secret Pal 9 [...]
