Trick or Treak Package

Bonnie wins the award for the speediest swapper in the East! We do both live on the East Coast so it didn't have far to travel - and just look at all the goodies that arrived.

The yarn is Euroflax Linen, which I have been wanting to try forever, and the pattern is for the Ilene market bag - a perfect project for this yarn. And she also included the two pairs of circular needles needed for the project. The book is Where There's a Witch by Madelyn Alt. It looks like a really fun read and I can't wait to start it.

And the Treat - Oh my- a box of Godiva Chocolates! The box is so beautifully wrapped with a fall-colored ribbon that it would be a shame to open it, but then again.......the box will look just as pretty when it is empty and re-wrapped!

This cute little Beanie Bat was also in the package. Love it!

And the trick - a small box with a label on it that says "Beads & Silver" which looked like it probably would contain a piece of silver, beaded, jewelry - and, UGH - a nasty old spider! Well, not really nasty - he's kind of cute actually!

Thank you so much Bonnie - I love everything and I'm so excited to be the first to receive my swap package!

Trick or Treat Swap package

I received my amazing Trick or Treat Swap package from Deb W. yesterday. The gorgeous yarn (2 skeins) is from Fern's Fiber Studio in West Liberty Ohio, and she had it dyed especially for me! The dishcloth is a schoolhouse design hand knit by Deb (she is a teacher too). The card is adorable as is the pair of ghost socks which will be my Halloween costume for our school party. The books is "Ghost Hunger's Guide to Indianapolis" I love real-life ghost stories! She also sent the holiday issue of Creative Knitting, which I didn't have. And, for the treat - some hand-dipped chocolate covered oreo cookies from her local candy shop! Thank you Deb for your very generous package!
