[from leah]

a little while ago, leah and i decided we were going to do a small swap. she would knit me the scarf i had been drooling over and i would sew her a knitting needle case. i received her package a few weeks ago and i was waiting for some nicer weather to go out to take pictures of the lovely things she sent me... but i don't think warmer weather is happening for a while. so i took them in my bathroom, haha - classy! its the only place that i can get decent light in... so you might get a peek of our lovely teal bathtub!

(she surprised me with some beautiful gloves!)

(i periodically have to fight with my mother over who gets to wear them)

so, as you can see, she is a very talented knitter! she knits many more things other than scarves and gloves and she has an amazing eye for what colors and textures look good with what patterns. (if im right... everything in her etsy is knitted from patterns she wrote herself.) (?!?!?!)

go-give her stuff a look! she is an amazing photographer also :)

she also posted about what i sent her :)

thank you, leah, for trading with me! i had a lot of fun and i really enjoy what you made me :)
