yuuuummmm... yarn I received a bunch of yarn from a yarn company yesterday and look at the box they sent it in!
Do you see it at the top left? It's a Reeses Pieces box! I'm thinking that either means that they're buying old boxes from somewhere or the folks who work at Plymouth Yarn stay well supplied with delicious treats. Luckies! posted by alison at 7:21 am | in

yum, reeses pieces! They are my favourite chocolate snack. I'm more interested in the yarn that was in the box though! Posted by: kerrie at August 24, 2006 7:45 AMYummy ... Reeses Pieces. *drool* What was in the box? Yarn, I know, but specifics, please! :) I cast on for your Ribbed Keyhole Scarf yesterday. It's a great pattern. Simple, but great. It's going to be a gift for my aunt. :) Posted by: Samantha at August 24, 2006 9:03 AMPersonally, I like the "best before Jul 06" on the box.. I think the yarn is expired :) Posted by: Dani at August 24, 2006 9:26 AMDoes the yarn smell like peanut butter? I think that would make me happy. =) Posted by: Tammany at August 24, 2006 9:37 AMThe should have left you a pack of Reese's pieces or two in the box, if you ask me! ;) Posted by: ~Jo~ at August 24, 2006 11:44 AMDid it smell nice and peanutty? Yum. Posted by: Carrie at August 24, 2006 11:51 AMIt seems all the yarn we get delivered to the shop from Plymouth comes in candy boxes. Posted by: Kathleen at August 24, 2006 12:00 PMWouldn't it be grand if all yarn was delivered with a bit of candy?! Posted by: amanda at August 24, 2006 12:26 PMnow i'm craving some reese's doh! Posted by: Kristin at August 24, 2006 2:00 PMI got yarn from the Plymouth Yarn folks in a pickled herring box. I think they're playing favorites! ;-) Posted by: Lisa at August 24, 2006 3:12 PMThere ought to be a new product in there somewhere - chocolate-scented yarn? At least they get credit for recycling! Posted by: Sheri in St. Louis at August 24, 2006 4:01 PMEep.. I'm allergic to peanuts and hate the smell of PB. My grandmother gave me some yarn that reeks of cigarette smoke, but I don't know.. peanut-y yarn just might be worse. Ugh! Posted by: Manda at August 24, 2006 4:51 PMooooh....aren't you going to show us what's inside the box? :) Posted by: Stephanie at August 24, 2006 5:39 PMThere must be a way to grind or smash up Reece's pieces or peanut butter cups and make a crust for a chocolate peanut butter ice cream pie. If so, best only make it once a year. ~firefly Posted by: firefly8868 at August 24, 2006 6:05 PMI've been sneaking in your archives, and figured out that I entered for your second weasly-along in august LAST YEAR! I even ordered the kit, about a year ago. HOW did this happen? Yesterday evening I cast on and knitted the first few rounds of the back. The yarn is lovely :) I really hope I can stay focused this time! By the way - my boy wants his own letter on the front - S - do you know about any s-charts I can steal? Posted by: Helene at August 25, 2006 4:03 AMNo fair not showing what was INSIDE the box! Posted by: Mary at August 26, 2006 8:27 PM |
