Ginger, the owl, flew up with my kit!



Yes it is finally here! My lovely Sirius Black kit from Megaera Black. Thank you so much for these lovely things! As you can see above, some of the items were sent through the Floo Network.

When I opened the box, it was so full of packages, I just couldn't count them all!

And here is all the loot unwrapped! What a haul! Here is a list of everything in the photo:
2 Balls of Nightfall Cotlin, 2 balls of Cedar Cotlin
2 Balls of Coto Canapone (Cotton/Hemp blend)
Sock Monkey
Book with photo of Sirius Black's motorcycle. Yes! The same bike that Hagrid borrowed to fly Harry Potter around.
Sirius Black Tumbler
2 Hand made cloths with paw prints on them
Stephanie Pearl-McPhee's Knitting Rules
KnitPicks Crochet Hook Set
Pattern Book Magnets
Instant Honey Ginger drink--yummy!
Cute pen
The most wondeful smelling Oriental Citrus moisturizing cream
Pattern for an adorable Pete, the puppy boy. This came in a neat envelope that can be reused yay!
And last, I will mention that the 2 balls of Cedar Cotlin is really a magic ball of Cedar that contains lots of goodies!! I'll get to the list of all the surprises my magic ball contained in a moment. Now for more photos!


These are the handmade items: Sock Monkey, 2 paw print cloths, Sirius Black motorcycle book, and of course Sirius Black Tumbler! Can't go anywhere without that!

This is all my yarn! Oh I love this yarn!

And here is my magic yarn ball. Now what in the world could be in here??
There were two stitch markers: Hope, Believe; Mini-sock blocker; strawberry sundae lip balm; a man ready to parachute; Some pretty variegated yarn for perhaps amigurumi embellishments; more honey ginger drink; a row counting bracelet; decorated hair pins; a neat tool for stuffing amigurumi (I had never even seen one of these before, how neat!); eyes for my puppy amigurumi; Emergency floo powder (also looks like I can use what is in the floo powder jar as crochet stitch markers!); a pendant that says: Draco dormiens nunquam titillandus (part of the Hogwarts shield I believe--Don't tickle sleeping dragons! A good warning for Hogwart's students); a Ravelry Bob lapel pin; a cute button with a girl holding her hand out for a dove to land on.

Whew that was lots of items! A wonderful Sirius Black kit! Thank you so much! This has been a really wonderful, and fun swap.
