The Aussie and NZ webring is up and running, yay!!!
Run on over here to join.
The button and things are further down on my page, but I think my sidebar needs some rearranging.
In knitting news, DH’s sweater is coming along nicely. Hopefully we’ll have some nice weather tomorrow and I can try to get a decent picture. It’s a polo style neck, and I have just split the front. I am not looking forward to doing the back – It’s basically a square 65 x 65cm. How long do you think it’ll take me to get bored with that?
I’ve decided that I’m going to knit the Flower Basket Shawl from Interweave Knits. I went over to One Fine Yarn and looked at the Misti lace weight alpaca that the pattern calls for, and it’s gorgeous. However, with postage it comes to $US20, and while that is not terribly expensive, I went for a local alternative. Bendigo Wool Mills in Victoria has 200g 2 ply lace weight merino for $AU10.50, and if I spend over $30, I get free postage. So I got some new stuff from there too 😉
I got a nice baby pink for the shawl.
I must admit that I remained undecided about it for ages, but decided on the wool, but I am still unsure I made the right decision. I’ll see how I go when it gets here. Maybe I’ll still get the alpaca 🙂
