Yay!!
I finished the Everyday sleeves today. Hip hooray!! So I now have all these pieces of stockinette waiting for me to have 10 minutes free to block them. And with school holidays starting next week, I can’t see it happening in the next fortnight. 🙁
However, I did cast on DH’s jumper in the Jo Sharp Silkroad. Yuuummmmmm. I am using my new Addi Turbos, and I don’t know if it is the yarn or the needles, or both, but this is knitting!
The yarn is soft, the needle smooth, and it is all just sliding along beautifully!
I also got an interesting letter from Interweave Knits today. You may or may not recall that weeks ago, I decided to subscribe. Within a week or so, I received a bill in the mail, which said that I would get my first issue free very soon. So today, I got a second notice on my bill, asking if I’d enjoyed the magazine, and that they hoped I’d send payment soon so that they could send me the next issue.
Well, I never received a damn thing. Except the bill. So I emailed them today, pointing out that I was a little uncertain about sending payment in case I never got anything from them at all.
Thank God for Jill, or I’d never see these magazines. I’m a little wary now of following through with this subscription. I wonder if FCEK is a better idea?
Let me know what happens with IK. If you aren’t going to be getting it, I’ll keep sending. Hooray for the Everyday being close to finished!
I took out a subscription recently. I paid by credit card over the net so there were no bill requests. Interestingly when the mag arrived it did so without any envelope – just the magazine with AusPost franking all over the front cover. I await my next issue with interest to see if it is enclosed – hoping that the first was wrapped but it was ripped in transit (address label was stuck to the front cover so I assume a clear plastic wrap). I ordered a back issue from their damaged goods sale and I’ll be most annoyed if it arrives sans cover – if it is already “damaged” the mind boggles what an international flight would do to it!
