a MBOY is a yummy skein of whatever yarn you choose that you purchase with the intention of wrapping goodies up in for someone else. We are each given a secret swap partner and from there we look at her wish list and stalk her on the net etc. to find out what her interests/personality are like so we can tailor the treasures to a perfect fit. You ship it off and wait for your to arrive! I can't WAIT for mine.
Here's the teaser pic that I posted at the forum. This isn't the actual yarn that I bought to give to my mama. This is the secondary one I used to wrap the "big bang" in as well as all the goodies. I'm so stoked. I totally wanted to keep the yarn inside. It's seriously so sickeningly unbelieveable. The one on the outside is great too and I have 2 of those for me here :-) that one is Manos Del Uruguay. I can't say the other juuuuuuust in case she sees this.

I'll be posting what I get from my swap partner as soon as it arrives!!!
