Can I say that not all of the attendees were 'old ladies' and those that were had more get-up-and-whatsit than many younger ones. It also appears that most of the organizers were not super-young, so maybe if more youngies were on the committees, they would be able to put their options forward (although those can also be done at meetings). I guess whatever day they could have chosen for the spin-in would suit some more than others. That is just a given for any activity. Some people there had made quite an effort in getting babysitting, or a bus from faraway places. I'm just saying.<BR/>But on a lighter note, your dyeing is quite stunning and your comparison of the loo paper is wonderful. I really enjoy reading your blog.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8004263.post-1144206418370748702006-04-04T20:06:00.000-07:002006-04-04T20:06:00.000-07:00i don't mind the toilet paper (what we call it her...i don't mind the toilet paper (what we call it here, lol) comparison at all. very informative, if i ever buy recycled loo rolls in australia (i doubt i'll ever make it there, my SO has trouble with flying to the coast, let alone the 15-18 hours it would take to fly there!). i don't see much recycled paper here, i think there's a brand or two, but they're so poor that i'll just stick with the charmin. please don't squeeze it!

All that nasty bleach in the waterways just for the sake of loo paper being white? Nah, I'll stick to the unbleached Safe (which my ex's mother used to call 'wholemeal'!).chocolatetrudihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02110359051876178390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8004263.post-1144190609823296862006-04-04T15:43:00.000-07:002006-04-04T15:43:00.000-07:00I won't say my eyes are bleeding, but I will say t...I won't say my eyes are bleeding, but I will say that is so bright (but beautiful) yarn!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00099894422067181971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8004263.post-1144171993688553732006-04-04T10:33:00.000-07:002006-04-04T10:33:00.000-07:00OOh pretty yarn (you always have pretty yarn!).Tho...OOh pretty yarn (you always have pretty yarn!).<BR/><BR/>Thought the bogroll comparison was great LOL! We used recycled stuff too, Nouvelle to be exact (why it's called that when it's recycled, goodness only knows). The thing I've never understood about loo roll is, why on earth do you need to buy dyed stuff? Just plain ol natural colour will do fine!dreamcatcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06512623516755804881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8004263.post-1144156751164697552006-04-04T06:19:00.000-07:002006-04-04T06:19:00.000-07:00Heh, I found the "bog roll" review amusing and won...Heh, I found the "bog roll" review amusing and wonder what sort of google hits you'll get off it! None of those brands are available in the US, but I've evaluated two of the recycled brands available here - Green Forest has nice presentation and is quite soft and comfy, but is very loosely rolled to hide sort of pathetic yardage. Seventh Generation is a bit scratchier and requires quite a bit more paper per use, due to pathetic cohesion under duress, but ye gads, even with that, a roll will last forever. You start to wonder if you've purchased The Eternal Roll of Toilet Paper... Or maybe it just seems that way because the paper is crap. Green Forest wins for me...<BR/><BR/>Lovely colors from your dyeing! It will be fun to see a bit of that knit up.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12959009113795804133noreply@blogger.com
