Fiber Godmothery goodness

February 24th, 2006 Leave a comment Go to comments

I got my final package from the swap today. It turns out my swapper was the organizer, ! I should have known, she puts so much care into the things she does, and her packages were awesome.

Lookit!
A copy of Simply Knitting, a Brit knit mag. It came with 15 free care labels!

Two Cadbury eggs, one of which my daughter has already peeled and poked at.

A round tin of green tea. I hadn’t mentioned this in my Livejournal (I don’t think I did, at least) but I haven’t drunk any coffee at all this week. It’s been all green tea. So, as I kick caffeine, this is a perfect addiction. I mean addition. Yeah.

One pompom maker set. Believe it or not, I didn’t have one of these.

Not pictured: A Godiva Chocolatier bar: Milk Chocolate with Smooth Caramel. No way is my daughter getting her mitts on that.


Wooden bowl (because every Firefly fan needs a wooden bowl) has its own closeup because of the cool stuff within.
A geisha bead, too cute!

A little pin reading “Knit In Public,” which I do daily.

And no, the silver thing is not some kind of piercing, it’s a scarf pin with a little ball of yarn on it. Squeeee!

Last but not least, a “Hello, My Name Is John” nametag from Yoyodyne Propulsion. This made me laugh out loud. It’s on my fridge, which is now evil! Pure and simple from the eighth dimension!


Mel, you did a fantastic job. I’m really happy with everything I got. It’s been a genuine pleasure. Thanks so much. 🙂

    You make me wish I could knit solely for the fact that you get such awesome packages all the time.

    Yeah!!! I’m glad you liked the magnet. It was one of the things I wasn’t sure about. The other was the tea. Major coincidence that you’re drinking tea now!

    The silver thingy is supposed to be a keychain, BUT if it works as a shaw pin, more the better!!

    I can’t believe you didn’t have a pompom maker. Hopefully, you’ll like this one (I do). I had a lot of fun being your Fiber Godmother!

    Oh, and thanks for the “loan” of the first Godiva bar I bought.

    Ooh! Keychain. That does work better, especially since I own no shawls. I’m totally going to use that. I’ve even got a silver circular yarn cutter – you know, one of those that looks like a ninja throwing star or something – that will go perfectly on it.

    By the by, I saw the package while I was on my way to mail off my own fiber goddaughter’s package, so it’s on the way to her, too!

    Neat stuff!

    So, forgive the ignorance, what does the wooden bowl have to do with Firefly?
