I've received and re-sent the package for Dishrag Tag.
This is the package I received yesterday. A hand-knit dishrag in wonderful sunny yellow (thank you, Joan!), a Spatter Screen for the Microwave, a scented tea-light, an Aero Caramel bar (I'm looking forward to trying that), a couple of Bernat patterns, and 2 balls of Cotton. Yes, I know you can only see one - that's because the other ball (in red, white and blue) got knit up as another dishrag last night while I was listening to the Yarn Harlot talk up in Aurora. I wasn't as fancy as Joan with a pattern - I just knit the basic corner to corner variety. Today after work, I rushed over to the Post Office and sent the package off to Ruby - next on the list. I've just checked the team listings, and it looks like we're way behind compared to most of the rest of the teams, and I chalk that up to good old Canada Post. It's costing us 2-3 times what it costs in the US, and appears to be taking longer to travel, too.
This getting presents in the mail when it's not my birthday or Christmas is awesome! Anybody know where I can find more of these "tags" or "swaps"?

What a great package! I hope you had fun at the Harlot's talk while you were knitting your dishcloth. I know I can't knit anything but garter stitch if I am trying to watch something or hear someone talk. Yes, Canada Post is to blame for our delays. The teams in Australia are having the same issues too.
Don't tell, but International Scarf Exchange 5 is going to be up and ready for sign ups next week. Watch my blog for the buttons and the link to the sign ups.
