I have been so excited for this exchange as it was my first one to participate in. I've been stalking redditgifts waiting on progress of my gift being shipped. And honestly I was worried for a little bit when my Santa got my info but nothing happened. And the clock ticked down. But once the notice of shipping came through, I started stalking the tracking number. It was bad, as in reloading the tracking page 9 times yesterday. I was much to excited for the surprise. Almost as much as I had be excited to send off my gift and hear about her joy in the yarn I sent her.

Anyways. I got some wonderful giant skeins of baby yarn. I had given my Santa a little idea of good yarn types/colors to send when I signed up. Being that I like acrylic, I knew I was making it a little easier for them to run down to walmart(or other like store) and find fun yarn to send for a low cost.

The fingerling weight skein is in the same exact colors as the blanket I just started. Not same thread size, but it'll be fun to try out another pattern and baby will know it's his as it matches the other one. And the fluffy skein has me in giggles though I've no clue what to do with it right now. Wonder how hard it would be to turn it into an amigurumi octopus or bunny so baby has a soft fuzzy thing to play with. Maybe I'll do a simple granny square blanket with it for that will stay in the carseat.

Thank you so much, Andie! I wish I knew your reddit name to tag you appropriately. Now I got more stuff to keep me busy these last few weeks before baby shows up! huggles

Edit: Here's the first project I finished with this gift. It's a nursing shawl/blanket for the bub and I when in public and someone's sensibilities are irritated if we're not covered up.
