I love so much my first magic ball swap so I had to have a swap on my own so think spring.

Flowers, colors, sun, seeds, birds,fruit and vegetables, everything that reminds you of spring time. So wrap up objects relating to spring for your partner. Price before shipping should be around $20.

I'll make this USA – CANADA only.

Do not forget to include the yarn label for the info.

Put your preferences in the comments so that your partner see what you like.

New swappers are welcome but I will ban anyone who has a bad rating.

Simply sarah,

Don't worry I was your partner for the heart and cherubs magic yarn ball and since it come from Canada sometimes it takes a couple of days more.

honeybknits 02/14/2007 #

I love magic yarn balls. I get a big kick out of doing them. This time I might use hand-dyed instead of store bought yarn.- Briana

Well, I didn't get mine from another swap, and it can be disappointing, because I sent a really nice one, but I'll try again! It was sooooo much fun putting it together. I just kept adding things and winding them up into the ball. I actually had to get a second skein of yarn to hold it all. lol I like the spring theme.

user4534 02/16/2007 #

I'm heavily debating whether or not to drop :( I joined the last MYB twice and was disappointed both times for the 1st it didn't seem like the contents amounted to the value it was supposed to, then the 2nd one she regifted from the SAME SWAP (not to mention included a yarn she spun in the grease dirty and all, which would normally be ok since I've worked with fibers from the beginning to end, but it was not expected from this type of swap)! I can't believe it and I'm just stunned right now.

If I stay in, will my partner PLEASE PLEASE put more consideration into my ball, I'm so disheartened right now it's not even funny.

Heather71 02/17/2007 #

It sounds like a fantastic swap, but I can't take part because I'm not in the US or Canada.

I hope you guys have loads of fun.

user2955 02/21/2007 #

I really don\'t understand what this is. Can someone explain a little more?

hanjiwest 02/22/2007 #

Interesting....tisjewelart my partner also regifted items from the MYB I sent early to her ..to her partner....I understand regifting/swapping but not in the same swap, it seems rude to say the least...

Kat 02/25/2007 #

Sent mine to my partner yesterday. It should arrive in about 10 days (US to Canada). Hope you like it.

user4688 02/26/2007 #

Aly,

You have to buy some spring related items and wrap it up with yarn to make a magic ball. Your partner will have unroll the yarn to find the items that you sent.

My package to Gaylynne is on it's way today. I have been so rushed, I did not take a picture of the outgoing mystery ball, but will post a picture when I receive my mystery ball! It will be a pleasant surprise for an otherwise hectic several weeks! (car in shop, busted water pipes, septic tank repairs, etc etc.)

Hey, I saw the pics - it looks great from your end, too. hehehehe I don't know how to upload pics yet, so I was happy to see one I put together posted on the site - I had so much fun putting that together. I love these swaps, especially the yarn ball swaps. There's just something so cool about wrapping surprises up in a ball of yarn.

user6448 03/18/2007 #

do we know why serenity rae doesn't have a profile anymore?

honeybknits 03/19/2007 #

I am waiting patiently (yeah right!!!!) for my package! grins

user4688 03/20/2007 #

Mamaknits,

I am your partner for this one so be patient your package his on his way to your home since march 15, so it's gonna be there soon, it's coming from canada so sometimes it takes longer and I did put extra to make it up for the mail who always take longer from Canada... I hope that you will understand.

user4688 03/20/2007 #

Jean-Marie,

I think that serenity rae have just drop out and will not send her package to her partner like Sasha did. I did try to find angel for those who haven't received anything.

user4688 03/20/2007 #

Two persons will not received package sinc two persons drop out so I found one angel so one is still missing so I will send a little someting to the other one.

BrookeKnits 03/20/2007 #

Gina - thank you for being a wonderful hostess. Mail came today and I have not rec'd my package yet. I will not give up hope. I'll presume mine is coming from a far off land (Canada?) or mailed on the deadline. I had fun regardless.

Kat 03/20/2007 #

So should I be worried that I haven't received anything yet?

user4688 03/21/2007 #

Brooke,

You should receive your package soon because I know who is your partner and she's great so don't worry.

Kat,

You did had a partnet who did not send a package but I found an angel for you and you should be receiving something real soon. Her name is Ellen and she join me as an angel.

DeeBee 03/21/2007 #

Im still waiting too. But I don't know where mine is coming from - anybody know how to find that info?

user4688 03/21/2007 #

I'm the only one who has the info since I'm the coordinator. You are going to see who is your partner in a few days when you have to rate her.

Sometimes you have to wait longer to get your package like mine his gone to Alaska and I live in Quebec, Canada. So be patient and I'm sure that you will receive something soon.

If not contact me back.

user4688 03/21/2007 #

Dee,

I check and your package was sent from Canada so it should be to your home soon.

DeeBee 03/21/2007 #

Thank you, I appreciate your info. From Canada? Cool! And thanks, Gina, for starting this swap - I love doing these yarn ball swaps. And this spring one was really fun for me. I had so much fun wrapping up the goodies in the one I sent.

honeybknits 03/22/2007 #

Gina, I know it takes a little while but I am so excited ( magic yarn balls are my favorite swaps!) If you need any angels still let me know. I am more than willing to swap angel this one. - Briana in AK
