First Ever Knitting Dead BOB Swap!

Hello! As you may know, I am on Ravelry. There are many many 'groups' on there, and one of mine is called The Knitting Dead... based on The Walking Dead tv show. We talk about the show, watch the show together, and knit, among other things, Zombies.
Well, we just had our first swap, and it was a doozy! The BOB in the title is for Bug out Bag. It is the bag you have prepacked with whatever you need to survive. We had to create a bag for our swap partner. Here is what I created for my swap partner, Coleyann. As you can see, she has a bag, a brain bag, Kindle cover(with Dalek and Tardis), Arrow ink pen, Zombie shawl pin, Dalek hat, Zombie pin cushion, T shirt, survival kit, Cashmere yarn, earrings, Zombie stitch markers, fabric buttons,keychain and toy of our beloved Daryl, patterns and treats for her and her dog. I had a ball creating most everything.
And here, is what I received from my spoiler, WonderWhyGal. She has her own business, and sent me a BUNCH of stuff that she usually sells. Oh was I spoiled!
Two, count them two books, Rick Grimes doll, chocolate Daryl's motorcycle, bat ribbon, knitting wash, bat stickers, so cute zombie stitch markers, awesome wet felted bag with zombie pins (really? this thing took a ton of work!!), TWD calendar, Bat Bag, a project bag from her business with a cute alpaca on it, sweet little knitted bat I named Dixon, Goat milk soaps, Yeti breath lip balm(it is soooo smoooth!) great smelling little candle, and the yarn, oh the yarn! Four skeins of awesome alpaca!!! So soft! I was really spoiled!!!
Here is the first Zombie Feltie I made from the book. I love him!
