My HSKS9 package arrived!

All the way from Maisy Muddlestix in Australia ... it was well worth the wait!

Here are the packages as they were wrapped in the box. I loved the polar bears on the wrapping paper!

This is what I found inside! A beautiful purple and gold/yellow crocheted bag. It's amazing! Perfect for taking my current project to the local yarn shop for social knitting!
Three skeins of spun yarn by Maisy herself! I hope she tells me how to care for it! I know nothing of the type of yarns she said it was spun from. Wondering if they would be considered worsted or bulky? Also 3 skeins of a yummy purple soy silk yarn. I've been wanting to try that type of yarn! Yeah! She also made me a burgundy and black bookmark to remember her by ... as she is from the Wigtown Wanderers team. There was also a 2010 Australian calendar (perfect for keeping track of swap requirements!), a reindeer Christmas magnet, some Sherbet Lemon hard candies, and chocolates (yum!).

Closeup of the wonderful bag.
The chocolates and a HUGE candy cane! Yeah! Love peppermint!
One of the three skeins of the purple soy silk and the little reindeer.
Last, but not least, the bookmark, homespun yarn, and lemon drops!

Thank you so much for spoiling me, Maisy!

  2. The strap is really stretchy and I'm wondering if I can find a way to double it up and make it so it doesn't pull from the bag as much. I like the colors, too. She also said she hadn't lined it, but I may do that this summer (when I have more time) so things don't poke through and fall out.
