Katselin tänään aivan rauhassa telkkaria sukankutimeni kanssa, kun postiluukku rapsahti. Niinpä laskin kutimeni ja kävin katsomassa mitä sain. Postin mukana oli maksikirjekortti eli tiedossa oli reissu postiin. Hiukan mietin mitä mahdankaan olla saamassa ja mielessä käväisi jopa, että se voisi lopultakin olla se kateissa oleva Loopy Swap-paketti. Postissa sitten huomasin vaihtoparini nimen paketin kulmassa ja samassa katsoin mitä postileimassa luki, kyllä tämä oli se paketti, jonka parini oli lähettänyt minulle heinäkuun alussa. Kiitin virkailijaa ja lähdin kotiin. Matkalla huomasin paketissani leiman, jonka mukaan se on käynyt Thaimaassa, sillä matka kesti niin kauan.
I was watcing TV and knitting when I heard that postman had come. I checked my mail and found a note for packet with other posts so I started to get ready for post office trip. I was wondering what I was getting and somehow I wondered that it might be my Loopy Swap packet whicjh I have been waiting. At post office I noticed my swap partners name as a sender and when I looked at the post stamp I saw that this packet had travelled one month from US to Finland. On the way to home I noticed a stamp on my packet which said MISSENT TO THAILAND, so that's why it took so long to arrive me.
At home I opened my wonderful packet it was amazing; socks fit perfectly and they are on my feet right now. New yarn is so beautiful that I'm little bit disappointed that I casted two pairs of socks yesterday and all correct sized needles are occupied right now. I also got a pillow case, notecards and different wool washes to try. Thank you Katie!

I'm glad you finally got it! That package is to beautiful to lose. I once had a letter that had "missent to Malaysia" on it! Crazy post office!
The reason why I was so worried was that there was something hand made in packet. Every time I send packets abroad I'm worried that it might get lost. But sending parcels as registered is far too expensive.
