Townsend Socks Bag Swap - Thanks Sue!

Wow! I'm sooooo spoiled. We've been doing a swap on the Townsend Socks Knit Along Yahoo Group (a FABULOUS source of wonderful sock patterns!!!!), and today, I received a TOTALLY awesome package from my "Bag Swap Pal", Sue. The rules were that the swap was to include a bag (hand made or store bought - big enough for a sock project), a sock pattern, yarn for a pair of socks, and some goodies/trinkets.


Sue has really gone above and beyond! In addition to the fabulous bag and all the cool stuff attached, the picture on the left shows everything I received: a cute 3-D card, stitch markers (or earrings -– I can use them either way - how fabulous!), and a silky purple scarf (yum!). The bag itself was stuffed to the brim with 3 skeins of gorgeous Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock yarn, a copy of Yankee Magazine, a Razor Shell Socks pattern, a booklet of patterns ("“Sock Hop"”) with FOURTEEN patterns inside, a set of beaded (purple of course) knitting needles, Neccos candy (brings back memories of childhood.....ahhhh...), Harry and David Truffles (chocolate - – yum!!!), a tape measure, some "Soak"” wool wash, and some coffee to keep me going....and you all know how I love coffee! I think that'’s everything.







The picture on the right shows a close up of the felted bag (in "to die for" colors), the hand-crafted scissors fob and scissors, the hand-crafted neck chain with yarn cutter, and the hand-crafted shawl pin....shaped like a sheep!!!!

Thanks so much Sue! You have truly spoiled me!

    OOOH! Gorgeous. I love the colours of the bag, and so many other goodies too!

    If you don't mind my asking, what's the URL to that sock group, if it's public? I searched for it on yahoogroups and couldn't find it.
