My Aussie Bag Lady Swap parcel arrived today.
Those of you keen on April Fool's pranks will appreciate that my bag is, wait for it
CROCHETED
Mel did a beautiful job - it reminds me a lot of the Snapping Turtle Skirt (Rav link, sorry) by Norah Gaughan, and we all know was a NG groupie I am!
The yarn is Noro Silk Garden in colours of red, pink and green - rich, rich colours that pull you in.
There's also Maya Gold chocolate (considerably less than an hour ago when the photo was taken)here), vintage Patons patterns (such a good little stalker) and divinity of divinities, some of Mel and Pretty Girl's handspun. Glorious blues and purples and so soft and snuggly. Simply gorgeous.
I'm a very happy fool. :)

That bag is absolutely gorgeous! You lucky duck.
And I am very impressed that you used the full CROCHET word in your blog. Never thought I'd see the day.
oooh, what a gorgeous package!!
The bag is so lovely, and the yarn is divine!
I'm impressed you used that word too ;)
So many goodies and I especially love the crochet bag.
Ah, I see now why you were so restrained! That handspun is delectable, and the bag - what a lovely thing! You made out like a bandit.
