Autumn Sock or Scarf Swap 2008

I participated in this fun, fall-theme swap on Ravelry. Each person had to send a sock or scarf pattern and the yarn to make it, plus one autumn item. I had a great partner named Courtney, or Knitnpurlgurl as she's known on Ravelry. Let's start with the yarn she sent. On the left that's Cherry Lips (love that name!) sportweight from bordertart.com. It's 100% blue-faced Leicester. I love that the fiber content is not just wool, but the actual breed of sheep. On the right is laceweight 100% merino by Susan Knits and Handpaints (susanknits.com). The color is Bing. Notice the tube of coordinating beads. These yarns are both beautiful.
Courtney sent me three scarf patterns. I'll be using the Cherry Lips to make Grasshopper (scroll down to see it). The lace yarn and beads are for Waves of Grain. I am really excited to make this! I also got the pattern for the Potato Chip Scarf -- how cute!

Now for the autumn items. The candles are warm apple pie flavor and mulled cider flavor. There's a mug with fall leaves, a box of chocolates, and some fall leaf confetti.
Here's a better photo of the mug. I'll be using this through Thanksgiving.
Thank you, Courtney! I love my package!
