Knitting Swap Spoils

  So I was in a vampire themed Halloween knitting swap. Well you need to give a handmade item (didn't have to be knit) and a skein of yarn. The rest of the goodies were up to me!

  So...I am not a quick knitter. So I decided to make use of my sewing skills to make her a project bag, keychain wristlet, and a mini wristlet to hold the stitch markers I sent too! I managed to find a fabric she liked through her Etsy favorites and used that for all the goodies. Check it out!

  This is the same person I sent the homemade marshmallows to as well! So along with the project bag (with hand painted accent glitter I might add) the wristlet, mini wristlet and marshmallows I also found a great copy of Dracula with Bela Lugosi on the cover, a great modern vampire novel, a BEAUTIFUL skein of red silk/merino yarn, a shawl pattern from her wishlist called Anonymous Vampire and stitch holders!

  Oh, and did I mention the totally cute folder I made to put the shawl pattern in? BAM!

  

  I just cut out the shape of the mouth and teeth I drew with an X-Acto knife and taped some red paper in the inside of the folder flap. Fun!

  Anyway, it was a fun swap and I hope she enjoys all the time I put into the many handmade items!  


  Once my swap spoilee got her package she shared this very nice picture! Yay!
