Zombies are the new black.
Or something like that.
After a not-so-great weekend, followed by a trip to the emergency medical clinic to have three stitches put into Sage's butt (she sat on a pair of scissors - OUCH!!!), I returned home to find a box waiting on my porch.
When I opened it I found lots of mysterious items wrapped in tissue paper. It turns out the box was my MYB (Magic Yarn Ball) from the Malabrigo Swap group on Ravelry and my spoilee for this round was the insanely awesome Saucy Minx.
I had mentioned that I would love a Zombie theme for a swap package, and she delivered!
Whee! Glow in the dark Zombies peeking out of the yarn ball!
Partway through the unwrapping I had to stop to photograph some of the wonderful yarns she sent me:
And after all was said and done...
My scores:
• Malabrigo Silky in Bosques (OMG such a pretty colorway!)
• Madil Yarns Iceland (a wonderful aran weight wool in basic black, to be used for Bad Juju)
• Fortissima Socka Mexiko Color which will be perfect for the Zombie Socks pattern she included
• Louet Riverstone in Champagne (I had mentioned needing/wanting a nice flesh toned yarn for a few upcoming projects, I think this will be perfect for what I have in mind)
• a grow your own VooDoo doll (So cute!)
• red and white DMC embroidery floss to decorate my Bad Juju
• a package of pins with which to impale my Bad Juju
• a huge box of Jujyfruits (Mmmmmmm... yummy bit of word-play there!)
• my very own collection of glow in the dark flesh-eating zombies!
• some luscious Jasmine Pearl tea from Trader Joe's (funnily, I bought some last week to take to Harrisburg with me and left them here instead... now I have a spare box, one of which will make it to Harrisburg soon I hope, so I can have yummy tea goodness while there)
• a printed out copy of the Zombie Socks pattern, which I love and think will work well with the Fortissima Socka yarn
• two packets of Eucalan wool wash, which I have wanted to try for a while
After the weekend I had, I am very glad for this package to have arrived when it did... I really needed a bit of cheering up, and this did just that.
Thank you, SaucyMinx! You rock!

I'm glad you liked everything!! I had a blast putting everything together :)
Maybe now you'll have something fun and smallish that'll get you back into knitting :)
That's an awesome package!
I got those zombies for my birthday. They live on the mantle with my lava lamps.
I'm officially jealous. Zombies in a ball of yarn....
