I think the guy at the corner post office knows my name now-- which is great! That means I've finally finished and mailed all the stuff that should have been sent out ages ago.
You already saw the finished baby blankets in the previous post, but I also finished a few other things! A friend and I are doing a hand-lettered mail exchange. Here's my letter to her:
Sorry, I know her address is covered, but underneath it's lettered really nicely. I wanted to respect her privacy, you know?
I also did this hand-made facebook exchange thing and I finally got around to making the items!
First, there's a hand illustrated postcard to a friend of mine. It's an inside joke, but for the life of me, I can't remember the punchline. All I remember is that many moons ago, I made my friend, VJ, a silkscreen t-shirt with the word "beefmaster" on it and a piece of toast. Here's the concept revisited:

Then, there are the eye-glass cases I made from quilting scraps for two friends of mine who live in sunnier locations:
They were made using a simple cardboard template that measured 9" x 5" and then quilted and sewn together. Is anyone interested in a tutorial? Let me know in the comments if you are.
And finally, in the mail I got my contributor's copy of KnitNow's Issue #30 with my pattern on the cover!
What a crazy awesome issue! It has so many lovely extras like charts for colorwork lettering and magnet strips to keep track of charts. Very handy! And a lovely insert with cute winter accessories. This issue has lots of quick knits at various skill levels, and it's chock full of knitted lovelies in general. I feel so lucky to have been a part of the gang for Issue #30!
