But once he's got it, things don't go quite as he'd hoped. When she declines his offer, he takes matters into his own hands and hires robbers to get the box for him. Then one day, a rich and powerful archduke offers Annabelle one million, two million. In fact, Annabelle's colorful yarn seems to be never-ending, and she knits and knits and knits until her town and all the people in it are adorned with Annabelle's colorful creations. When she's finished with that, she still has extra yarn. When she's finished, she knits one for her dog. One day, she comes upon a box of colorful yarn, and knits herself a sweater. Everything.Īnnabelle lives in a cold, colorless town where everything is covered with snow and soot. The nephew liked the silly pirate at the end. She didn’t think the yarn was all that pretty and she figured out the end. The artwork did a great job of contrasting the drab life verses the colorful life with yarn and the artwork puts a lot of work into making the drawing look like yarn. It’s original, but it is also similar to the fable of the couple that find the never ending penny, but that ruins their lives where this doesn’t ruin Annabelle’s life. It’s an original story and I like that so I upped it to 4 stars. Word gets out and people come wanting to see these wonders, even pirates who want to get the magic box. She makes herself a sweater and it isn’t long before she makes a sweater for everyone. She lives in a drab little town where everyone is drab looking. Annabelle finds a magic yarn box that never runs out of yarn.
