The knitting group had a Chili Night/Secret Santa Gift Exchange. It was a blast, even though it was warm enough that chili wasn't strictly necessary. There was a ton of good food, and lots of fun. Jodi was an awesome hostess, and Jen organized the swap online.
I think the swap went really well, considering we know each other so well. Jen was my Santa, and she really came through. First there was a "Red Neck Dye Kit".
The saying on the front is "It's like Skittles, except it's not candy. See the Rainbow!" It's Red Neck because it came in a trash-bag box, which was the only thing that would hold the contents.
Inside is everything needed to dye yarn/roving: gloves, a wide assortment of KoolAid, and vinegar. Very cool, and will go well with
about a pound of roving. Most of it is white, and some of it is this beautiful heathery grey, which will be really neat to dye.
The roving came in this awesome bag that Jen sewed:
Yes, that is pirate themed fabric. It was really well put together, with grommets and a drawstring.
And now I've got to get back to feverishly crafting. Christmas is less than 2 weeks away!
