Teddy Bear Picnic Swap

I am participating in a Teddy Bear picnic Swap on the Itty Bitty Knits group on Ravelry.

I think I am a bit crazy as I chose quite a large swap as my first one, on top of being a new crocheter and knitter, learning since December 2009 and March 2010.

The swap is composed of 4 elements. A teddy bear, a blanket, a tea set and play food... It's so much fun to work on.

The first sendoff is one of those elements being mailed as a kit. The only other "rules" are that 1 element needs to be an Itty Bitty project. Anything else can be bought, sewn, etc.

I was quite excited a few weeks ago when I thought I was getting the yarn that I had ordered for my first package and instead it was my first package from my swap parnter. I received such beautiful colours of Cascade 220 Superwash. It's such a pleasure to work with. Oh! and I got a ball of Spud & Cloƫ Outer.

I won't be able to show you guys what I am working on as it's a secret swap, and I wouldn't want my swap partner to find out before hand.

Here's a picture of what I got.
