Hi Vegan Pals! I got flaked on, but YowlYY came to the rescue and sent me these fantastic treats:
2 balls of purple Sari Print yarn, Simply Knitting magazine with a purse clasp to knit onto, and some 4.5 mm needles!
She wound 2 balls of black Rowan cotton around candy treats for the magic yarn ball:
2 chocolate bars (Green & Blacks, my fave!), some fancy cookies, mixed nuts and Oat Bakes. I love to get snack food from other countries! And it's all vegan of course!
Some pretty stitch markers in a tiny bag:
And a hand written recipe for tagliatelle with a note. Thanks so much, you're the best!

A Final Check In
Hello all,
Thanks for making this such a fabulous swap! As far as I know we're down to 2 packageless swappers:
I haven't heard from maethebear or coffeeandknitting, so I'm hesitant to call in an angel til I'm sure what's going on there. If you're still interested in being an angel, let me know and the first email I get will be it.
Thanks again everyone, and Happy Thanksgiving! I'll be out of touch for a few days gorging myself on my mom's holiday spread - including seasoned pan fried seitan!
xoxo
Ellie

A very belated public thank you to Jan-Knit!!
I must firstly apologise for being so late...Jan-Knit knows, of course, that something very bad happened at the end of September, and for her support she deserves all the best in life! I know from the postings going on here that there are many wonderful pals around, sending goodies, but Jan-Knit must be one of the best ever...see what she sent me:
the green bunny on its own was already a much loved surprise!! And then I started rewinding the magic ball...
I adore everything!!
I will do a proper post on my blog, which needs urgent updating, but in the meantime virtual hugs go to Jan-Knit for this beautiful present, and congratulations to her and all those who have given a try to the veggie/vegan life, way to go girls!

Pledge to be "Veg" for 30 days
Today is the end of my Pledge to be Veg for 30 days, and the news is... I am going to stick to it! :-)
Thanks for all of you for your support - and especially Jan and Cheryl for veggi-ing along with me! It was a fun journey and I feel like a brand new person! To make it short, I have resumed exercising and I have lost 10 lbs total during those thirty days! :-)
If you are curious about details, I have posted in my blog about my experience and discoveries.

At the end of my transition, this badge is my reward - along with feeling great! :-)
You can get your own badge here.
Thank you!!
Sending out thanks to Carla for the lovely package I got a couple of days ago.
Thank you!! Love it! I've never touched Blue Sky Cotton before so this is a real treat. :D
