A little while ago, one of the gals on the Ravelry Project 365 group came up with the idea of having a swap between those of us participating on the board. We were each assigned a name and asked to include various items in the package, and then mail our stuff out by a certain date. My box arrived from Cumbria earlier this month, but we had all agreed to wait until June 30th to open our items. After unwrapping the brown paper, I found a box loaded with goodies! There was much ooh'ing and aah'ing over the beautiful handknit flowers (okay, I may have gone a bit overboard in telling my family how much I love them), some squealing over the sheep magnet, a bit of drooling over the chocolate, lots of petting of the lovely yarn, and even more "awwww'ing" over the super sweet card and gorgeous photos. And, as if that weren't enough, my swap partner also gave me some nicely scented soap, some awesome lotion, and cute little buttons. I.was.spoiled!! I LOVE it ALL and can't thank my amazing swap partner enough!!

(And I'm truly hoping that the person I sent stuff to loves her items as well!)

All packed up and ready to go! I'm participating in a swap on Ravelry with the rest of the Project 365 gang and will be sending my swap partner's items out tomorrow. I'm really hoping she likes all the little goodies! Once she receives it and we've all opened our boxes, I'll post the photo I took of what's inside. Until then...ssssshhhh...it's a secret.

This is a gift I'm knitting for someone. The yarn is pooling in a, to me, unfortunate way. However, when I took my knitting to my doctor's appointment yesterday I was complimented on it. Hopefully the person I'm knitting this for either has a great sense of humor or loves crazy pooling. To say I'm nervous about what they will think of it would be a huge understatement.

I saw this yarn, Schoppel Wolle Crazy Zauberball (colorway 1660 Flussbett), on Ravelry under our Project 365 forum and ooh'd and aah'd over it before searching out patterns on Ravelry using this exact yarn. Loving what I found I caved, found some on Jimmy Beans Wool, and ordered it. Today it arrived in the mail and now I have to find something cool to make with this lovely yarn. Given my track record it could take me a day or a year...or somewhere in between.
