RAK = Ravelry Act of Kindness, I think! April 11, 2010

I recently learned a new phrase, RAK = Ravelry Act of Kindness.

I saw a lovely chunky yarn stashed by a lady in the USA and she couldn’t get along with it at all, so was offering it free to someone who would love it. Being a complete chunky junky, I said yes please! So on its way to me now is a gorgeous, unique bundle of chunky yarn, which I wouldn’t otherwise be able to buy in the UK.

I did offer the Rico Essentials Cotton DK in Lilac as a swap, because honestly, I am completely useless with tiny yarn and find it so frustrating to work with it was better off going to a good home. And I couldn’t bring myself to accept such a wonderful gift without trying to find something of interest to return.

So,  for only the cost of posting 5 small balls of yarn to the USA, I have a wonderful package of chunky yarn on its way to me! Everyone should visit her blog here, she’s an inspiration.

Here’s the gorgeous yarn she’s so kindly sending me.
