i'm so happy :D
it's so PINK! i love it
fun little bucket - which was perfect... i kept my ball in it and let it roll around inside the bucket as i worked and my little goodies began to spill out:
flower brooch, anklet, yarn pin, buttons, charm, and the cutest little elephant tape measure ever!
(the first picture are the actual colors)
the yarn was cascade 220 - perfect for a sophie bag!
i have been wanting to make this pattern for a long time - i finally had the perfect excuse - i needed to knit up my ball to retrieve my prizes!! woohoo
although, the handles (i-cord) pissed me off so i decided a chocolate colored set of handles i had would be perfect. it only needed one - and the brooch is PERFECT on this bag!!!
i'm so happy!
i also picked up 2 shades of chocolate fabric to line the bag and make a wallet (you didn't think i was going to let that handle yarn go to waste, did you?)!
woohoo - go me!! no pictures yet, as the wool portion of the wallet is currently in the machine being felted :D
the charm which i'm sure she made is soo cute - i love it.... very very very ME!
i'm going to be shipping it off to my jeweler for a fabulous ribbon choker and see if she can match the beautiful stones for a sassy pair of earrings! woohoo! i'm so in love with my package :D
THANK YOU, ERIN!
i hope my person feels the same way about hers:

Rebecca, the fact that your yarn is already knit up AND felted AND beautifully finished is just, just. . .words fail me. And the peek of my yarn ball is very intriguing---is that your handspun?
What a great idea - magic yarn ball! The goodies are so cute!
Your Sophie bag is lovely!
I've never heard of a magic yarn ball (genius)! what a great bunch of stuff you got and I love what you did with the yarn. Nice...
I am so glad you liked it. The Sophie looks great!
oooh you got a good partner my friend erin! looks like she gave you alot of good stuff! i made that flower pin and it's one of my favorites..we also make the one inch buttons! you are just so lucky!
What a great idea, and how much fun these must have been to receive as well as think up.
Glad to see you posting regularly again!
