Advent-ually.

In addition to the Channukah box from ChemKnits Creations, I bought one from A Hundred Ravens.  When I saw the box held more than eight items I thought it was for the twelve days of Christmas or some such, and set it aside.  The wrapping of course should have reminded me!  I started opening it and realized my mistake - it was set up for two items per night of Hanukah!  So I opened them all in one go.





   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

As you can see, the even-numbered boxes contained an extra goody, plus there was a final one at the end labeled "Open Me Last!"  And a wee crown:

Several of the extras are stitch markers, but the blue bottle came with a recipe to make freezable bubble solution, plus there is a sticker, a magnet, a snowflake-shaped lollipop, and a tiny pin with two dreidels:

Here are the mini-skeins, in order of number from right to left:

I don't think I will keep them in this order, especially because Days #9 and #10 are so close in colour.  In addition to the knitting pattern standard in this box, they sent the crochet pattern for the yarns.  You were supposed to indicate whether you are a "Knitting Queen" or a "Crocheting Queen" when ordering.  I ordered two boxes with a note that I did so because I do both crafts and thus want both patterns.  Then I received a cancellation notice for part of the order, because they decided to send both patterns to me with just one box!  Some dyers will ask for a couple-few dollars extra if you want both patterns, but they were very nice and surprised me.
