Got lace?

I finally received my Whose Lace Is It Anyway? swap package from Valerie in Canada! She got stuck with a bum supplier who took forever to get her order to her, so my package was a bit delayed, but totally worth the wait! You can see below all the goodies she sent:



The Flirty Ruffles shawl pattern (she made one herself that's beeea-utiful - check it out here).
Jaggerspun Zephyr in a lovely purple shade. She mentioned there's enough for the shawl which calls for 1890 yards - cool!
Mohair that she dyed herself! With koolaid perhaps? It's a varigated purple color with some pinkish tones to it - so pretty! I wonder how much yardage there is?
Shiny purple beads to match... i've never knit with beads before, I'll have to try it out!
A Clover Bamboo circular needle to knit the shawl - don't have that size yet, how did you know?
AND... (yes, there's more!) a set of stitch markers she made (her first set - great job!) and a cute little handmade book for photos or just sketches or notes...
THANK YOU so much Valerie - you did a great job and like I said, it was worth the wait!
