A.S.S.S 08 Swap

Posted by mobarger on Oct-11-2008

(Otherwise known as the Autumn Sock or Scarf Swap of 2008)

A.S.S.S 08 swap

Many thanks to the crafty Bunkybobo who sent me a wonderful ASSS08 swap box.

She included tea and taffy, some scent samples from Happy Housewife, lavendar soap, lip balm that she made herself, a Sharpie (! love the Sharpies!), a pattern from KnitSpot (Shifty) and yarn of course.

ASSS 08 yarn

But let’s focus on that yarn a second, shall we? She dyed this herself. I love it. The colors are very fall-y and warm and just ….well… GREAT! She has an Etsy shop and I highly suggest you check out some of those yarns.

Thank you Bunkybobo!!!!!
