Mystery Yarn Ball Unravelled



I finished the pattern for the mug cozy that Robbie sent with my mystery yarn ball. It was a very interesting pattern with a cable stitch that I hadn't done before. I really liked this yarn (Paton's Decor) and love the result. These are the goodies that fell out as I knit. You can see how good I was - the candy is still there! I'm not sure what that little silver thing is next the the sample shout package. It has a hook on each end - anyone take a guess?



When I finished knitting the mug cozy I still had yarn left - so I kept on 'unraveling - and knit this little baby hat too!


Thanks Robbie for a great mystery yarn ball!

Mystery Yarn Ball


I received my mystery yarn ball from Robbie today! I love the colors in the yarn - the pattern is for a cup cozy and there are little treats sticking out of the ball. I think I'll start knitting! I'll let you know what I unravel!

Mystery Yarn Ball

UPDATE!





I received my mystery yarn ball from Mary today. What a nice end to the week! The yarn is Bernat "Black Lites" bulky acrylic, and the pattern is the Trio knit tote bag from Crystal Palace Yarns. I've been wanting to make this bag ever since I first saw it and now I have the incentive to do it! There were also some extra goodies in the package (I guess she couldn't fit them in the yarn ball!) Some bath fizzies, hand cream, a cute tulip candle, and a note pad. I'll post another picture after I've knit enough to unwind the goodies from the yarn ball.



Thank you Mary!


I took advantage of the snow storm yesterday (you know, the lion?) to knit my mystery yarn ball pattern.



Here are the goodies that fell out of the ball: Some cute tea themed charms, a bag of plastic stitch markers, yarn needles, a cute mini-frame, and some really pretty hand made (by Mary) stitch markers.




I kept going - and here is the finished knitting bag. I love it, and it really stretches to hold a LOT of yarn!



Thanks again Mary!
