I received a box this weekend. Quite a well traveled box. I didn't recognize the handwriting, or the return address.
Soon, however, the mystery was solved! It's the Yarn Aboard radio box!!
And Dorothee, you outdid yourself girlfriend!
I can't wait to try this colorful and unique yarn! I saw it for the first time on Amanda's blog, and I have been lusting for it every since! To quote Dorothee "the sock yarn comes from a lady in Southern Germany. She creates the yarn by mixing different threads together and she makes about 10 balls of every color, so that's pretty individual." Also included was a cute pair of ready made socks (no muss, no fuss), Haribo Goldbaren (German Golden Bears), Ferrero Rocher chocolates (Ooh-la-la), a German chocolate egg (Dorothee certainly knows the way to my heart), an adorable sheepy soap and a sweet smelling lavender soap to keep the moths away, and the cutest felted bag which is already full of all my knitting notions!
Dorothee, thank you so much! I love everything!
Amanda, thank you for hosting such a fun yarn swap!
The Yarn Aboard radio box is wrapped, addressed, and shipping out today for its next port of call, so you all be on the lookout!!

Yay! I'm glad the box got to you okay, and I'm even more glad that you liked the contents! Yay!
This swap was soooo much fun... I'm thinking if I should sign up for round no. 2!

What a great sock pal - the sock yarn is very very cool! The radio box, however is looking a little worse for wear. It's had such a good life.

That poor Radio Box is looking a bit crumpled :o( I do hope it holds together until it makes it my way! Your goodies are awesome! I do have that yarn in several colorways and it is so wonderful to just sit and look at. Who says yarn can't be art?

I know I should have been looking at the yarn and notions, but what is the first thing that caught my eye?
The Kinder Egg and the Haribo Gummies.
See where my head is?
