Three more boxes arrived yesterday! Once more they were numbered before they were brought into the house.
I had to look up Laurie to confirm that the seventeenth box to finish the race belongs to the Knitting Aces!
Something smells sweet!
The pink (I love the pink!) dish rag was wrapped so cute, I wanted to leave it for The Aces’ Captain, Denise. But I should have gotten the stitch markers out to give y’all a better look. They are gold with pale green and sparkly beads. Really pretty. Thank you so much, Laurie!
The next box to finish the race and occupy the eighteenth slot in the final standings belongs to team Magic 8!
The pink matchbook is wee tiny emery boards.
The sheep is full of gum! Which I don’t *think* is sheep flavored… Thank you, Marie, I will use the wee tiny dish rag to wash my wee tiny cake tote! It’s made with scrubby seed stitch to get things sparkling clean. The matching cousin dish rag belongs to Team Captain Jennifer.
The nineteenth finisher has my vote for Most Battered and Bedraggled – duct tape is holding the whole thing together. Ladies and Gentlemen, 2 Sticks and a String!
Three cheers for three balls of yarn!
The little scarecrow couple from Marie have joined the turkey on the baker’s cabinet (he was lonely). I love sewing kits, they fall into my sweeping love of all things wee and tiny. Captain Cynthia will be thrilled with the bright dish rag, I think bright colors make washing dishes a slightly more appealing chore. Thank you so much, Marie!

Just remember that 2 sticks and a string had to survive Hurricane Ike. That’s why it’s so battered, AND Sandra (TX) had to knit in the dark with NO electricity and send it on to Marie (OH). So we EARNED that title! 🙂
It was in good shape when I had it 🙂 That poor box has been through a lot. I love that it arrived with duct tape. Lovely dishrag, Marie!
We made it in, yeah!!!!!!
So is there a prize for last place?????!!!!! LOL!!!
A proud Gold Medal Knitter!!!!
Congrats all!
Yay Knitting Aces, Magic 8 and 2 Sticks and a String!
I’m glad our box arrived – go Magic 8! Also I forgot to make a copy of the pattern when I was in such a rush to send out the package but I really liked the way it made the color of the yarn turn out. Would you be willing to send me another copy? Thanks!
Have so enjoyed the second time round from a spectator seat! Love “paw’ group. Spider votive holder so cute. Loved the sewing scarecrows too. I want to do something of this sort in winter. I want all those packages. SUCH fun.
