Recovering from birthday lunch with knitpals. Gifts included gorgeous mohair, yummy Heirloom alpaca, and handdyed loveliness from Emma for a new pattern. YAY!
My friend Eleanor makes an awesome french lemon tart. Ooooooooooooooh.
Also recovering from a mad trip into the Adelaide Hills to peruse the woolly goodness to be had at the annual South Australian Coloured Sheep Association's annual wool and fleece fair in Mt. Pleasant. Stocked up on Bennett and Gregor, SABLE, and some beautiful Susie Horne handdyed Finnish sheep yarn.
Back to the felted bag I'm working on for my market Sunday.

You've got that blogging feeling...
Welcome to my ozblog. Thanks for visiting.
Now that I've dipped my toe into the blogpond, I figure I might as well just dive in, so I'm going for it:
My FIRST BLOGSWAP (or whatever it's called):
Since my husband is always calling me sock monkey, I thought it would be appropriate to join the MONKEY SOCK SWAP!
That's right! Check out the monkey sock swap - signups are until Aug 31st, 2007.
Monkey SOCK 3 Questionnaire:
The basics:
Do you consider yourself a beginning sock knitter, an intermediate, or have you been doing this so long you could probably knit a pair in your sleep?
Definitely a Sock-Monkey-in-my-sleep-er.
The measurements:
Shoe Size: US7
Foot circumference: 8 inches
Foot length: 9.5 inches
Yarn Preferences:
What colors do you love?
Bright colours, especially oranges, purples... Love northern hemisphere autumn colours.
Do you prefer solids or variegated?
Variegated
Do you prefer wool, cotton or acrylic yarn?
Wool of course
What colors would you never wear?
Yellows and kelly green
What are your favorite brands of yarn?

Cookie A. Patterns:
Which of her patterns have you already knit?
I'm a Cookie A. newbie.
Which pattern(s) would you like to knit and don’t already own?

No smoking. I have a GAWJUS dog named Lyta.
