My new baby

G'day all!

Thanks for the kind thoughts re 2 unemployed people - things must be endured for the time being! Plus it is hard to be glum when the weather has been over 20 degrees for the third day in a row (but never fear, it is going to make up for that next week! Back to 14 and 15 degrees - blah) and spring is arriving in dribs and drabs .

Keep your comments about socks coming - it is interesting to know how others make socks. I started doing toe up cos then I'd always have enough yarn - I was totally paranoid about running out with 1/2cm to go on the toe....

Do you want to know what my new baby is? You can get a sneak preview here. It is a bit clunky yet - I am trying to work out how Paypal will let someone buy more than one ball of yarn if there are 5 that could go, so for the time being if you would like to buy some yarn, email me with the details of the yarn(s) and your postal address so I can let you know the total price including postage (and insurance if requested).

One day I will take pics of what I am knitting, but Yet Another Sock (Jawoll!) and the Never-ending Sleeves of Despair do not make that good viewing, particularly when the pics have to be imagined - they don't exist yet. Instead, I give you a little gem from the garden - a Brachyscome multifida

    Your baby looks good.

    Would loooooooove some yarn but maybe at a later date.

    I'm on a bit of a UFO drive at the moment and also a bit of a self imposed yarn diet.

    Beautiful flower!

    I knit with four DPNS. I could never get on with circs.

    Lovely brachycome daisy, we have them as summer bedding plants here.

    Sorry to hear of your unemployment woes, keeping appendages crossed!

    Yay for the yarn page. People, Lynne's yarn is fab, I have the proof! :-) As regards amounts, if you're using the Paypal shopping cart, it should just let them edit the amount within the cart, I think.

    P.S. You have to get in contact with me and tell me if I paid for that wool or not! I cant remember! If I didnt I will get right onto it (assuming Hubby didnt delete the email with all the info).

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...
