Swap on a Budget. Twice a year we do a swap
with $20 as the limit, and have to include
in the box one skein of new yarn, and an item
we've made.
It's a lot of fun putting all the goodies
together for your swap partner: Dollar Tree is
one place I go to for it, plus Jo-Ann, etc. My
spoiler went to Tuesday Morning and other places
for my spoilage, and did an incredible job as
you will see:
From top left:
Washed Coopworth fleece; will make very pretty yarn
Creative Couture yarn holder -- will be great for doing 2 socks at a time!
an incredible braid of fiber: Merino and tussah silk in “Poison Apple” colorway from Susan’s Kitchen
handmade for ME, handpainted PRETTY!!!!!! drop spindle
Wonderful note from my spoiler :-)
calculator
notebook
gift cards with my initial on them, tied with a bit of her handspun
point protectors
row counters
flex-net reading light (will come in handy to knit by, next time we lose power during a storm!)
Ravelry sticker
2 rolls memo tape (other is orange)
crochet hook (always misplacing mine!) for picking up stitches
pen/tape measure with the most appropriate saying on it!!
Skein of Knit One Crochet Too Ty-Dy Socks
and last but not least:
2 gorgeous pair of heart earrings
and a set of the prettiest millefiore heart stitch markers
Made just for me by my spoiler
(wish they’d shown up better in the picture)
