Hello to all!

Hi! I just received my invitation message, and I am really excited to be part of this swap. Someone else mentioned how great it is to be part of a group that understands the concept of yarn (and other related things!) as gifts - so very true! I have been part of a number of swaps where I have received parcels from knitters all over the world - it has been an enlightening experience, and I look forward to hearing from others with new and different ways to celebrate. I grew up in Ohio and now live in Massachusetts (with my husband, four children and a dog) and have learned a few new customs along the way, but there is always more to learn and enjoy. I will trying to wrap up the summer's ongoing projects while I wait to hear who my swap buddy will be. Happy Holidays - I say celebrate them all! - Karen V.
