Wow!

That was about all I could say when I opened my Spin to Knit swap package for February. My swap pal, Gina, totally spoiled me. It took me running after the mailman to get it but it was worth it. See, we have parcel boxes and he put the wrong key in my box so I ended up with a bunch of mail for some other guy down the street. We hopped in the car, ran him down, made him come back to the box and get me my package. So once I opened it this is what I saw.

It was all so nicely done I wasn't sure what I rip open first. I started with the greatest Spinning Scrapbook that Gina put together to show me the process she took to get my yarn done. It is so cool. I took a couple photos of the inside.

Now on to all the other goodies.

She sent the yarn, project cards to record information on that also had a very cute pin, beaded stitch markers and a beaded orifice hook. The yarn is a beautiful 3 ply of merino and tencel so it has a wonderful shine to it. Plus it is ubersoft.

Gina also sent fiber. She said this was left over from the yarn she spun.

And then another roving called December Beaches.

Oh yeah, there were sour candy lips too but those didn't make it back to the photo shoot. I had to hide them so they didn't get all gobbled up before I got some. Plus a copy of a magazine she had gotten 2 of.
All in all I was totally spoiled and I loved it all. Thank you so much Gina!

Wow, that is awesome!!! I love the scrap book of the spinning journey - the story of your yarn.

The scrapbook of the yarn's journey is a great idea, and it all looks amazing.

I am SO glad that you liked everything (will send more personal note later)...you deserve it! I still have something else for you from SPA and hope to send it this week. The scrapbook was very fun to make and I've always wanted to do something like that. This was the perfect opportunity to do it. How were the sour lips??
