First of all, I want to give a huge, huge, huge thank you to my rematch santa for being so patient with me. When we were matched, my original santa marked that a gift was shipped, without any information, so I asked my rematch santa if they would mind waiting a week before shipping just to make sure I didn't receive a double-gift. Not only was my rematch santa super awesome for signing up to be a rematcher, but they were super patient as well!

On to the gift!!

I actually received my gift last week but spent the whole weekend painting the baby nursery with my in-laws who drove in from out of town, and I got super exhausted. After a couple days recovery, I finally managed to dig through the box!

My rematch santa SERIOUSLY yarn bombed me! I don't even know how much yarn was in the box, but I will say it took some effort to get it all arranged on my kitchen table. ;) They even left a note at the top:

"I apologize for my tardiness! I hope you have fun & keep on making amazing works of art! Sorry for my messy compilation of yarns! I thought what fun it would be to 'bomb'ard you with tons of balls! Small balls, big balls, medium balls..."

And yes, I was bombarded with balls of all sizes (and appreciate the humor) ;)

I know my rematch santa actually asked me if I was OK that there wasn't any wool yarns in the gift, but I noticed two peach/pink skeins that are actually labeled wool - so those are likely going to end up as diaper covers for my soon-to-be babyspawn.

There was also a premade headband/ear warmer and a partially made crochet rectangle (the beginning of a scarf? blanket? we'll have to see)... as for the rest of it, I guess I will have to just MAKE ALL THE THINGS.

I don't even know what I'm going to end up doing with the two decorative tape dispensers... looks like a kind of washi tape to me? Super cute - one is alligators and one is owls. I'm going to bet I'll find something baby-related to use it on.

Oh, and don't forget the gift card to KnitPicks (which just so happens to be my favorite yarn store). I may have to invest in a wpi tool to help narrow down my gauge for all this yarn.

Also, my husband saw the box when I opened it and just went "MORE yarn?!". He and I are in a never-relenting struggle of space vs crafting materials. Especially now that I have been evicted from my former craft room, which is now the nursery. I have simply begun taking over the basement. Don't worry, there's always space for yarn.

So, again, SUPER BIG ZOMG THANK YOU to my amazing rematch santa. Someday I will go through all of this yarn... someday. ;)

P.S. Did you actually hand wind all of the little balls of yarn, because I was impressed! I am so lazy I bought myself a yarn ball winder a long time ago -- I think I've only hand-wound about 3 balls of yarn before deciding it just too frustrating. ;)
