Once upon a time, in a small village at the edge of a dense forest, there lived a kind-hearted old lady named Agnes. She was known in the village for her knitting skills, creating beautiful and intricate designs with colorful yarn. Agnes had a special talent - she could infuse her knitting with magical powers. One autumn evening, Agnes received a visit from a young girl named Lily. Lily was a mischievous child who loved exploring and had a wild imagination. She shared with Agnes a fascinating tale she had heard from the village kids - the legend of the candy witch yarn.

We used that as Neyland s outfit, and I dressed in lime green shorts and a purple tank top with purple eye shadow to be the Mom version of Buzz Lightyear. Other filtered and spring water usually has a variety of additives that help with taste when drinking plain water, but don t really help when brewing kombucha.
She shared with Agnes a fascinating tale she had heard from the village kids - the legend of the candy witch yarn. According to the legend, deep inside the enchanted forest, there lived a mystical candy witch who possessed an enchanted yarn. This yarn, when knitted into garments, had the power to bring joy and happiness to anyone who wore it.

It may be time to let you guys in on a secret weapon of mine that is also very useful in helping me plan our Disney meals…Aldi. Yes, this amazing little store is a FANTASTIC resource for cool seasonal food items. They have different food items from around the world at various times throughout the year. I’ve been a customer long enough to know approximately when and what to expect during each season. Whenever I see something interesting or unique, I pick it up and see if I can work it into a cool dinner. They also have a great selection of tried and true year round items that I can always count on. One of their routine items was instrumental in creating our yummy dinner from the United Kingdom for 101 Dalmatians night!
When I think of the U.K. one of the first dishes that comes to my mind is…..FISH AND CHIPS! I’d say that’s probably the number one answer you would get from most people. It’s also easy to make, and kid approved! This dinner was another one of my quick and low maintenance dinners. I like to do a mixture of both so that our Disney dinners are always special but not overwhelming. I scored big on my trip to Aldi with some aged English cheddar. Cheese is one of the best things ever, so I couldn’t pass it up. This is for sure one of those odd ball seasonal items. When I happened upon it, I grabbed it and built dinner around the idea of visiting the UK. *Pro tip: when you find one item from a particular country, look around because there are often others from the same area.* Thankfully Aldi always carries a great selection of beer battered fish and french fries (aka chips,) so the rest of the meal was super easy to put together.
I’m not one to generally fry much of our food, but since this meal consisted of both fried fish and chips, I did it up right. I didn’t have any newspaper to put our food in, but I did have some food baskets from a birthday party a few years back that helped complete the “pub food” look I was going for. We served them with fresh lemon wedges and malt vinegar. For the adults, we also nabbed some Fuller’s London porter to complete the meal.
For dessert, we enjoyed an apple crumble! (Again, store bought since this was a low maintenance dinner.) When I revisit this again, I hope to shoot for black and white iced cookies as a play on Cruella’s hair. There are a ton of possibilities!
This is probably also a great time to mention that Cruella is my all time favorite Disney villain! She has got all the sass, fashionable (excluding the puppy coat idea), she’s a wild driver, AND she has her very own theme song! Who is your favorite villain and why?

Intrigued by Lily's story, Agnes decided to venture into the forest in search of this candy witch yarn. Armed with her knitting needles and a sense of adventure, Agnes set off on a quest to find the fabled yarn. She believed that it could not only enhance her knitting but also spread happiness throughout the entire village. For days and nights, Agnes wandered through the enchanted forest, her perseverance unwavering. She encountered all sorts of mystical creatures, from talking trees to playful fairies, all of whom seemed to guide her towards her destination. Finally, after what felt like an eternity, she stumbled upon a quaint cottage nestled amidst the trees. As Agnes cautiously approached the cottage, she saw a figure inside - the candy witch. She was an old woman with a warm smile and eyes that twinkled like stars. Agnes introduced herself and shared her quest for the magical yarn. The candy witch, whose name was Eliza, listened intently, impressed by Agnes' determination. Eliza revealed that the candy witch yarn did indeed exist, and she possessed the power to create it. However, she had been waiting for the right person to come along and use it for a noble cause. Convinced of Agnes' pure intentions, Eliza agreed to share the yarn but under one condition - Agnes must promise to use it for spreading happiness and kindness. Overwhelmed with gratitude, Agnes readily accepted the condition and thanked Eliza for her generosity. Eliza handed Agnes a small bundle of candy witch yarn, sparkling with shades of pink, blue, and green. Agnes knew she had found a treasure that would forever change her knitting and bring endless joy to others. Returning to the village, Agnes joyfully knitted beautiful garments, imbued with the magical candy witch yarn. Each piece she created was filled with love and kindness, and everyone who wore her creations felt an overwhelming sense of happiness and warmth. The village children, in particular, adored their candy witch yarn sweaters, finding joy in the vibrant colors and the magical aura emanating from them. And so, the legend of the candy witch yarn lived on in the village. Agnes became a beloved storyteller, sharing her tale with generations to come. The enchanting yarn continued to be passed down from one knitting enthusiast to another, always used for spreading love, happiness, and kindness through the power of knitting..
Reviews for "Creating a Sense of Wonder with The Candy Witch Yarn"
1. Sarah - 2/5 stars - The Candy Witch yarn was a disappointing purchase for me. The colors in the picture were vibrant and looked amazing, but when I received the yarn, they were dull and faded. The quality of the yarn was also not up to par. It felt rough and scratchy against my skin, making it uncomfortable to work with. I was really looking forward to using this yarn for a project, but unfortunately, it did not meet my expectations.
2. John - 1/5 stars - I have to say I was extremely disappointed with The Candy Witch yarn. The advertised colors were so beautiful and vibrant, but when I received it, they looked nothing like the pictures. The yarn felt cheap and flimsy, and it easily unraveled while I was working with it. The overall quality was very poor, and I would not recommend this product to anyone.
3. Emily - 2/5 stars - The Candy Witch yarn was a big letdown for me. The colors were not as bright as I had hoped for, and the yarn itself felt thin and weak. It didn't hold up well during knitting, and I had to constantly re-do my stitches. The price was too high considering the low quality of the product. I was really excited to start a new project with this yarn, but unfortunately, it did not live up to my expectations.
4. Mike - 3/5 stars - The Candy Witch yarn was just okay for me. The colors were decent, but not as vibrant as shown in the pictures. The yarn itself was average in terms of quality, and it did not unravel easily during my knitting project. However, I was expecting a bit more for the price I paid. Overall, I wouldn't say it was a terrible yarn, but there are definitely better options out there on the market.
