Magic Ball of Yarn Swap- May 2007

I finally recieved the yarn I ordered for the MBOY swap on MDC ( Mothering.com). This is my first time joining in after seeing two friends give it a go. It's been so much fun collecting little treasures to go in my ball. For those of you that have absolutely NO freaking idea what I'm talking about... allow me to explain :-)

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!!!

I Did It!!


Welp... I finally created a knitting blog! Being a mother to 4 children, it shouldn't surprise you that I have no time to post any pictures of my knitted items or get started beyond this post LOL!! I'm really looking forward though, to sharing my newest obsession with any and all who want to peek.
