This was such a thoughtful gift. I could tell immediately that she'd looked over not only my things on ravelry but also my posts here on reddit, and she really tailored my gift to things I love. People like kivakaa are the ones that make these exchanges an amazing experience.

So first I have to show the box. I'm ashamed to say I didn't notice all the cute detailing on this until after I'd unpacked all my yarn because, well, excitement ensued and I was a kid with a treat again looking through it all. Once I noticed, however, it gave me a grin! Turning it from side to side you get an ongoing commentary on gravy mix, culminating in a cute little reddit alien.

Inside the box was a lovely handwritten note accompanying my new treasured stash additions. She explained why she'd sent every skein, and I have to say each one was just perfect. Then the bonus of all bonuses, a printed pattern - one I'd seen online, and had yet to try. Now, with the perfect yarn to complete the TARDIS scarf, I just have to try it.

The rainbow skein is destined to be something gorgeous...I have to find a pattern worthy of the colors, but until then I will feel it's strands and call it Precious and dare any invading hobitses to keep their hands off it!

I'm so happy with this gift. I can only hope everyone else that participated in this exchange is as thrilled as I am with what you received.
