Must link must...

Oooh, forgot to link to my favourite non-knitty blog.

Like Star Wars? Read this. The comments crack me up even more than the blog.

Plus apparently I am Svedish. I did have a lady making weird noises come running after me in the middle of nowhere once cos I looked like the people from her home in Sweden. Dutch people speak Dutch at me too. Wish I suntanned the way most Swedes seem to. Instead I go a dainty shade of lobster red and then peel and have angry looking skin for a while.





Your Inner European is Swedish!









Relaxed and peaceful.

You like to kick back and enjoy life.




Finally I have been drooling over the KnitPicks yarn. Only they don't deliver to Australia because "They can't get the level of postal service they think their customers deserve." Crikey, people! Just send us the danged yarn! If it takes two weeks to get to us by airmail, we DON'T CARE! We just want the blinking stuff! I think they are simply holding out on us cos they don't want us to get our cotton pickin little Aussie mitts on their yarn. We are a piss weak little market and why bother with us?

Do I sound relaxed and peaceful to you? Remember I am an infp and if my values/principles are breached(1) then I get narky and fight back!

(1) in this case being unable to buy yarn and books

OK. This time to bed fer shir!

anon again!

    It never ceases to amaze me that we breed the largest percentage of the world's sheep, and seem to have the smallest percentage of yarn choices!
    And I'm so tired of hearing about how wonderful Knit Picks yarns are, and knowing that we can't have 'em. Call me Green with envy ;)

    The Knitpicks reason for not doing international deliveries indicates a total ignorance of international mail! Just take the damn package to the postoffice, stick an airmail sticker on it and entrust it to the US postal service. Surprisingly, it will reach Aus in about 7 days. I had an Amazon parcel reach me in 6 days last week. Faster than a parcel from Perth! They obviously don't realise that when we buy international we accept that postage will be more than a local delivery, and that it might take a bit longer to arrive. But, as you said, small market and so not worth the fuss.

Your monthly blog post

LOL G'day all! Apparently I can no longer blog more than once a month. Mea slacka, I admit. So what's been happening here? I've done a lot of knitting recently.  Ahem I may have bought a fair whack of yarn too.  So much for not spending money. I've been sick as a dog this week.  Gah.  I haven't been really ill with a virus for years - last time I was this sick was six years ago.  Man that was a fun month, DH having lost his job whilst we were getting new visas in Oz for said job, having to pack up and move everything we wanted to keep from the States, sell off the car, get rid of stuff.... all with me coughing my lungs up.  And the lymph node that came up that I thought was from a chest infection actually being breast cancer...  oh joy oh bliss. I even went to urgent care (the walk in, no appointment needed doc in a box that you see when your GP is booked out) cos I felt so crappy.   He confirmed it was probably viral and threw ...

Seattle Six

Image
G'day all! 12 is a big number around here, being all to do with Seattle Seahawks and the 12th man - did you know that American football has 11 players active on the ground at any one time and the twelfth man is the spectators watching the game?  I didn't.  I know about the 12th man in cricket but not this thing that has been adopted here regarding what I usually call gridiron. But I don't want to talk about American football and I don't want to talk about 12, I want to talk about six. Yes, we have now been in Seattle for six years (and a number of days). Six years. Where has the time gone? This is our seventh winter - how have we managed?  Some people love gloom but we are solar powered.  And Seattle tends to be rather gloomy in winter.  I manage by making stuff like crazy, I wear bright colours, and I hang out online on Ravelry.  Without my rav mates, I'd be bored out of my brain.  I'd get a job but I don't have a work permit and that me...

A year and a day

Image
G'day all! This time last year, we were bemused and confused. Our grand trip across Canada had ended and we had just flown in to SJ airport. We have been in California for a year and a day (it's a leap year). 366 days in California. How has it been? All over the shop like a madwoman's you-know-what! You can read more about it on my other blog. I have now lived in three different places in my life. By that I mean I've had an address for mail and stuff, a place where I live rather than stay for a little while. Those places are Melbourne (Oz), Fort Collins (Colo) and Campbell (Calif). In their own ways, each has been special. Fort Collins will be a place I'll always remember, and possibly the memories will be better because we didn't spend a winter there ;-) In honour of this great occasion, I announce a contest! In the comments, tell me two places you have lived (one place if you have always lived there!) and a place where you would love to live (and why yo...
