Swedish Delight

I received a great swap package for the April Tea Swap from Kariola (as she is known in the Ravelry world). The envelope was stuffed to the gills filled with goodies from Sweden. In my package I found a beautiful knitted coaster made of my first ever Noro skein and the colors are just lovely, smokey black with blues, violets and grays. Two skeins of svarta yarn in cream and black, three handcrafted hair scrunchies by Kariola, a Gisha milk chocolate and hazelnut bar, knitting needles, a recipe for chocolate muffins, a pattern for the posie tea cozy, a pattern for the skull keychains, ballerina cookies (husband has eatten half the package already - had to hide the rest), a gecko strawberry air freshener, Kobbs Himlagott Lingenberry flavored tea , and Swedish fish and other gummies - the kids and I have polished off half the bag already - they are delicious.

I just love receiving regional items such as the Swedish tea, Swedish chocolate, Swedish cookies and most importantly the Swedish fish. A big treat for me and my family, we love trying new things.

Kariola is a very warm and sweet person. I say this not just because she sent me such an amazing package, but because I have had the pleasure of getting to know her. She has also been very supportive during these difficult times. For that, I cannot thank her enough.
