I joined a swap exchange on Ravelry, and am eagerly awaiting my swapee to get her gift! However, I have received my gift and I'm bowled over by my gifter's generosity! I'm in love with every single piece!
It all arrived similar to this (only neater) and I pulled it out of the perfectly sized priority mail box. My first reaction was, honestly, how did she find a reusable bag that fits so perfectly?? ;o)
I'm going to start off with the extras. The perfectly sized bag in green and smaller matching pink bag are both from Namaste, and my swapner says she loves them. I am super excited to try them out! In addition, there's a really sweet project bag by my favorite project bag maker (Erin.Lane). It is a special edition bag, so I'm feeling pretty honored. Then, there's also the really awesome knitting and crochet themed coloring book by Franklin Habit! So cute! And something else I can use my coloring pencils on! Lastly, I mentioned that Japanese sweets are probably my favorite type of sweets, and so she included a bag of assorted Japanese candies!
And now the yarn. Oh my goodness, the yarn choices couldn't have been more spot on! A variety of weights and indie dyers! Starting from the top: Miss Babs Yowza Skein in Drunken Watermelon, Lotus Yarns Nirvana Sport in Grassroots, Madelinetosh Twist Light in Beach Bonfire, and Three Irish Girls Springvale DK in Everlasting Gobstopper! If you've read my blog for a period of time, it may have been mentioned that the pink and green color combo is my favorite. I love it, and I am very quick to comment that it reminds me of watermelons... so these choices are fantastic! In addition, anything rainbow-y and I am a huge fan! I'm super drooling and trying to figure out what the first instance that I can get knitting with these guys could possibly be! :oD
