Shirley's Magic Yarn Ball

I found a unique swap on Ravelry that I thought looked like great fun. It was disappointing to see they just started a swap and another isn't in the works.

I mentioned it at knitting two weeks ago and Shirley said she would Magic Yarn Ball swap with me. We set a limit of $15 for the goodies and the yarn is from our stash.
Here's my loot for Shirley. What fun to shop sales, use coupons and shop unique stores to find really great things within budget for a friend.

• The star of the ball, of course, is the yarn - Brooks Farm Solo Silk
  
• Stitch markers both bought and hand-made
• clear lip-gloss
• journal
• pen
• stickie notes
• Chibi with needles
• a re-useable tote for your keyring (so cool)
• candy
• a candle
• a ring
  

I'm pretty proud of the hand-made stitch markers. Looks like there are seven. Quite a variety with a ring size for sweater size needles.

Can't wait to get the ball wrapped to see how crazy it looks.
