G'day all! Apologies.  I've been so busy! But I bear news.  Good news. One of the things that has kept me soooo busy is in the mail.  I don't know if he ever looks at my blog so I won't post pics yet, but soon.  Well probably after Easter given even with second top level express mail it isn't guaranteed to get to Oz before the third of April!  Boo hiss to that!  I have no idea why the post in Washington state takes an extra week to get out of the States but it is dreadfully slow from here. So I have a little more time to do other things now that that big thing is out of the way.

See, there are two! They are quite nice and thick and squishy and I like them quite a lot. I'm knitting a smoke ring with some lovely lovely MadTosh merino. This smoke ring is quite quick to knit up - ok, I've been knitting it on and off over over a week now and I've only done 1.5 repeats (more than what the pic shows) but it is my knitting whilst thinking piece by the computer. Plus I have another sock on the go - I got a whole lot of it knitted in the TWO HOUR LONG queue to get into Comicon on Friday....
