I signed up for a secret swap on Ravelry called "Soul Food Swap." The idea is to swap yarn, food goodies, and kitchen gadgets with another like-minded Raveler. I sent a package to NY and got one from VA! It was VERY fun! My spoiler turned out to be Amy (a.k.a. DeathByYarn). Here are some pictures of me opening my box and all the goodies that were inside!
I arrived home from work on a rainy, cruddy night to find a surprise swap package!
I couldn't wait to get my package open! Cunningham was excited too.
Everything was wrapped in pretty pink tissue.
Mmmmm! Choco covered beans!!
The yarn is BEYOND gorgeous! Amy got me Cascade Heritage hand painted sock yarn in hues of red and dark purple. I love love love it!
My swap pal sent a mix of some of her favorite songs - what a nice idea! I also received recipes for Amy's Super Bean Chili, Cous Cous-Stuffed Spaghetti Squash, Peanut Butter Oatmeal Bars, and Fried Potatoes & Veggies! Thanks so much for passing along your favorite vegetarian recipes Amy - they sound awesome.
Sorry buddy, only treats for me this time.
Other goodies included Earl Gray Tea, a tea scoop, a pretty pattern called
Loopy Laces Toe-Up Socks, adorable licorice scottie dogs, pumpkin scone mix and a nice card. My first swap experience was beyond what I expected - thanks SO much Amy!
