Description:

I think this was a great idea posted by Onyxlight in our group forum.

If you haven't before done a magic yarn ball, here's the idea:

You will use a skein of yarn and wrap up 3 surprises in the yarn ball. This way, as your partner uses the yarn they unwrap lots of goodies! Lets try to stay away from candy cause that might get messy... especially if its going to the south! The surprises can be anything you want... buttons, rickrack, embellishments etc. Please try to keep your partners likes and dislikes in mind.

Now for the theme, Happy Holidays! Please choose your yarn in a holiday color and keep your surpises in the holiday theme. You will also include a holiday crochet pattern.

IMPORTANT PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE note which brands of yarn you like in your profile or in the comment section for the swap... partners PLEASE keep this in mind when you purchase yarn for your partner... we want them to actually use it!

To clarify... the pattern you send can be from ANY SOURCE. It does not have to be your original pattern. However, if there are stipulations from the source that state not to duplicate for sale or something along those lines... please include that information with the pattern for your partner. (we don't want anyone getting caught up in copyright legalities)

As far as the type of yarn I would like to receive, I like any 4-ply worsted weight as long as it's not wool. Wool makes me itch something terrible!!! Cotton, acrylic, alpaca, anything like that would be great:)))

Sorry, I am going to have to drop out of this swap. Got alot going on and don't want to take on more than I can handle:)

Ok....I'm back, lol Chose this one over another one...just couldn't resist:)) I love those magic yarn balls:)))

Can we also include something handmade as one surprise, or do all the surprises need to be store bought?
