magic yarn ball

woohoo! mine came!
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:

Very cute! I like the handle you used. And the flower looks great on the bag!

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, and how much fun these must have been to receive as well as think up.

Glad to see you posting regularly again!
