Talvella osallistuin Ravelryn pupuryhmän Winter Bunderland -vaihtoon, ja oli niin kivaa, ettei tarvinnut miettiä, lähdenkö uuteen vaihtoon mukaan. Viikolla saapui paketti Michiganista Kamaorilta.
Last winter I participated in the Winter Bunderland Swap of Ravelry's bunny group. It was so fun that I didn't need to think twice if I join in a new swap. This week I received a package from Kamaor from Michigan.

Kääreistä paljastui Kamaorin värjäämää lankaa ja itsetehtyjä kauniita silmukkamerkkejä, hänen tyttärensä ompelema puikkopussi, askartelumateriaalia, kortteja, kirjanen ja rintamerkki, joissa oli Gwen Frosticin piirroksia (pupuja myös!), suloinen pupunappi ja suklaapäällysteisiä kirsikoita ja kirsikka-pähkinäsekoitusta, joka jo oli hiukan vajunut kuvausvaiheessa. Satun tykkäämään kirsikoista tosi paljon, vaikken sitä vaihdon kyselyssä maininnutkaan, joten naposteltavat osuivat nappiin. Kirsikat ovat Suomessa aliarvostettu herkku. Esimerkiksi kuivattuja kirsikoita ei taida saada mistään (vai saako?). Kamaor asuu kirsikka-alueella ja lähetti kirsikkatuotteita myyvän firman katalogin. Siinä olikin hyvin innovatiivisia jalosteita, kirsikkasalsaa, -olutta ja -viinietikkaa muun muassa.
There were yarn that Kamaor had dyed herself, self-made beautiful stitch markers, needle holder made by Kamaor's daughter, scrapbooking kit, cards etc. with drawings by Gwen Frostic (also bunnies!), cute bunny button ja cherry snacks (the cherry nut mix was already opened while taking pictures). I love cherries but I didn't mention it in the swap questionnaire so they were a welcome surprise. In Finland you get fresh cherries in summer but otherwise they are not very popular and I haven't seen dried cherries anywhere. Kamaor lives in a cherry area and sent me a catalog of cherry products. There seem to be many innovative products, for example cherry salsa, ale and vinaigrette. Thank you again!

Langassa on kauniita sävyjä, ja minähän olen kallistumassa violetin suuntaan. Olisikohan nyt Baktuksen aika?
There are many beautiful shades in the yarns and purple and violet are my newest favourites. Maybe it'll become Baktus.
Minun pakettini lähti Massachusettsiin ayalle. Tietenkin neulovan pupuihmisen pakettiin piti laittaa Heljän muki. Lisäksi virkkasin Puolukkaposki-kämmekkäät Isoveljeä ja jotain vyötteetöntä sukkalankaa yhdistäen ja tein sekalaisen setin silmukkamerkkejä. Mukaan tuli tietenkin myös lankaa, suklaata, HKL:n pupuheijastin ja ayan kaneille kuivattuja luumuja, omenoita ja rusinoita.
I sent a package to aya to Massachusetts. Because she has bunnies and she knits I couldn't help sending a mug by Heljä Liukko-Sundström. I also crocheted fingerless mittens and made a set of stitch markers. Of course I included yarn, chocolate, a bunny reflector and dried fruit for aya's bunnies.

I love that bunny pin that you got! That's the most frequent view I see of my bunnies - their bums. ;)
I LOVE LOVE LOVE my stuff! I've already worn the mitts, and I have the stitch markers in use right now. Thank you again, I loved everything! :D
Aivan ihania paketteja kumpikin! Ja kyllä, kirsikat (muodossa jos toisessa) ovat tosi herkkua.
