Hello Mrs Fife,
You recently sent an entry into HilltopYarn.blogspot.com for a dishcloth contest. The yarn store is in Seattle, Washington U.S.A. I work there and will be traveling to India for 4 weeks. I leave tomorrow- in 24 hours!- Thursday, Oct 19. I was wondering where you live and if you would like to do a yarn exchange? My travel pack will be small, but I will always find room for yarn!
I am so happy to have the list of all the Yarn Shops in India, it will be so much fun. If you are interested, send me an email.
Happy Knitting!
from,
Betsy
