Magic Yarn Ball Swap

Susan, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!! I received my package today (Thursday), but was just able to post. I got a very nice package, and while winding my yarn my dogs legs got caught (LOL). I opened to find two balls of yarn called Palette one of alpaca and acrylic in cream and one of 100% wool in a mutli colors rangind from tans and browns to cream and greys, and two WAY cute tiny candles. Underneath I found a sea of blue acrylic yarn. Below the sea of blue I found two more balls of Palette in the multi. When I finally finished winding the blue yarn I found:
sour fries
red hots
sour patch kids
a canadian flag sticker
fuzzy peach (candy)
3 glue sticks
a sponge paint brush
twizzler nibs
a strawberry tart (its like a candle but you melt it with another candle underneath in a special burner)
a glycerin soap pop (thank god it was labled or I would have ended up washing my mouth out with soap LOL)
a curious george pencil
2 little riesens (candy)
4 mini tootsie rolls
and a box of 10 twisted whiskers note cards
the pattern she included was one I have done before and loved and have been wanting to do again, this time for myself Romantic Ruffles

Treasure Swap

I received my package from knitstic yesterday! She knew me so well, I don’t know how she did it. The funniest thing is we both sent dye your own yarn. I had so “help” opening my package from my one “son” Chester as seen in the pictures. I got a bag, hand-dyed blue yarn, dye your own yarn from Lebanou- it’s a Oxford/Shropshire Blend of wosted wool, beautiful teal wool mitts, a book on dyeing your own yarn, and a chest of treasures. I got angora yarn, my “son” wanted, a coaster with a hank of yarn on it, a flip book of index cards, stickers of cats, some tea, and a beautiful stitch marker.

Packages

Within 2 days I received 3 swap packages and sent 2 out. I am currently in 6 ongoing swaps and received from the Treasure Swap, The Budget Swap, and the Stash Sock yarn swap. I sent out Budegt Swap, and Books and More Swap today, and my Treasure swap, and Stash Sock yarn swap packages have already been received. I still and working on my Saucy Swap, Magic Yarn Ball swap and Favorite Music swap. Will be posting what I received and pictures later today or tomorrow.

Swaps

I did a swap in May/June and loved it so much I signed up for 3-5 more, two that are going on now. I absolutely LOVE swaps, you get to know another person and make a new friend. The 2 people I am swapping with so nice, and I am so loving making my packages for them. I can't wait to finish making these packages and sending them off, and seeing what I get. I will defiently be posting what I receive on here, and maybe what I sent out once I know they got it.

Mystery Swap package

IT'S HERE! IT'S HERE! My package arrived today and I was SO excited to see what my theme was and what I got!
Theme: Bunnies, because I told charkins that I would love an Angora bunny. Obviously she couldn't buy me one, so she just worked around bunnies. So cute.

Package: I opened the package to find 3 different kinds of dark chocolate, because I happened to mention that I LOVE chocolate the darker the better. I dug a little deeper to find a ziploc bag containy cute 3D little bunny stickers, (even one put on my notecard) pink, brown, and off-white embordery thread, 4 wooden buttons, and 3 knitting inspired appliques. She also include #9 bamboo needles and 5 adorable bunny stitch markers. The pattern is an ultra cute knitted, felted, jointed rabbit. I recived one each of pink, white, and brown cascade 220 which matches the embordery thread very well. At the very bottom she included the left overs from an Anogora project, so I could actually work with the yarn I long to work with and perhaps make bunny a scarf with it.

My thoughts: LOVE IT! I love how she took my want for an Angora rabbit and twisted it into this awesome package. I also love how she took into thought my obsession for knitting baby items at this moment in time. This great thoughtful project, will probably end up being a gift for my 10 month old nephew, whom I was having such a problem coming up with a knitted Christmas present idea for, since he is constantly out-growing his clothes.
