Jingle Balls, Part 2 "Get Whit It!"
The other night, I found I could resist no more and unwound the big ball. It took me about 40 minutes to get through it all but I had so much fun!
Cary re-enacts the opening scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark:
I considered taking a break from unwinding but HOLD THE PHONE I found some Bit 'O Honey (YUM) and suddenly found the strength to carry on.
In fact that ball was full of candy. The mints come in especially handy for barfy situations.
And there were cute kitty stitch markers inside!
Unwound, the hairy ball became TWO hairy balls (snicker)
And the cats went nuts over these cat nip stuffed felted cubes!
And that ginormous ball? It's a ball of Cacasde Eco wool--478 yards!! I could start a Hemlock ring, or make about 2.5 pr of Fuzzy Feet or a dozen headbands....
It also came with some words of wisdom from my Secret Pal (and the fine proofreaders at Cascade):
Can you guess who my Secret Pal is?How about if you received a package that looks like it came from Archie McPhee's?
Well if you randomly meander over to this website, you'll know who!
Thank you Barfy Balls!
Your cojones made me so happy this week.

Hee hee, it's not everyday I hear a girl tell me that! ;-)
I had fun playing with your balls too!!!
P.S. What can I say? I buy my hamburger in bulk--and the boxes are great for shipping!!
Haha, I had my suspicions it was her! Great goodies in there!
Only Bezzie can package like that. What great gifts. Love the stitch markers. And the kitty cubes are so pretty.
Oh my goodness LUV'd the magic balls and what she had inside of each of them!! Those are the best ones I've seen to date!
Giggle @ whit! HA! I need to see a Hemlock woman! ;op
You gotta love Bezzie!!! She did a great job spoiling you and the kitties!
Shoulda known those fuzzy balls came from Bezzie!
LOL - Whit it! Whit it good!
What a fab ball of yarn!
Oh wow, very fun. And that's some great loot from those balls.
Very cool! I love the idea of a skein at the core.
That's an amazing parcel of gifts!! Very funny and thoughtful.
I'd like to send you a prize, too -- a copy of the Woodland Collar pattern. Could you drop me a line (evergreenknits[at]gmail[dot]com) or a Ravelry message(evergreenknits) so that I have your email address?
Thanks for leaving a comment and entering my contest!
You got so spoiled!!!!! Bit o Honey and even the Gangsta Kitties got some fun! :)
What a ball!... I love it!
You both got balls! What a great package. Heee.
Yum, Bit-O-Honey!The cubes are cute.
What fun! But... you mean you didn't just knit patiently and see what fell out? You just unwound the balls? Bad girl.
Heck, it's what I would have done too.
What an amazing ball of yarn! Such a thoughtful gift.
