Some days you just feel like kissing the post office staff, don’t you?
\nDon’t you? Oh, maybe it’s just me, then \ud83d\ude09
\nJill sent me more magazines.
\n

\nThis is the other UK magazine, Knitting. Apparently people in the UK spend all summer with their tummies and shoulders hanging out of their clothes. (I’m joking!) Or at least, the staff at this magazine think so. And it doesn’t even get that warm over there! There is one nice lace camisole top that I like. And theres a cute ballet set, but when I showed Em this morning, she gave me a Look. Apparently my little girl is hitting the “I’m not wearing *that*!” phase. Now I know<\/i> she’s growing up! \ud83d\ude09
\nInKnitters has this shawl pattern in it, which I quite like.

\nCoincidentally, it calls for fingering weight yarn. I got two more swap parcels from Summer of Lace. This is the box from Cathy<\/a>.

\nLook! Knit Picks Shimmer in the colour “Happy Dance”
\n

\nFunnily enough, I did a little happy dance when I opened this box \ud83d\ude42 Here is a close up of the colours.

\nAnd Frog Tree Alpaca.

\nHere’s a close up of those colours.

\nAnd the coincidence? This is fingering weight, and there is exactly the right amount of the pink to do the shawl from InKnitters. Is it fate?
\nAnd one more swap package.

\nYou can’t see it very well in this pic, but it’s a perfect little cake shape. Flat on the bottom, and gently rounded on the top. Jaggerspun Zephyr in Vanilla. Next year, I’d like one of these for my birthday cake. \ud83d\ude09
\nPhew. I really need to stop collecting yarn and start knitting it! All of my stash hidey holes are full!
\nI knit away on the cropped cardi yesterday, was only 10 rows from the end, and decided to count the stitches. One stitch short on the right front. R-i-i-i-i-p.
\nI made the mistake 20 rows back<\/i>. I spent a great deal of time last night ripping and untangling rather than finishing. I was Not A Happy Camper. It’s all back on track now, and I’m only 30 rows from the end. (whimper<\/i>)
\nHowever, I am going to start Em’s monkey today. You know what that means? I finished something! Guess what it was?

\nIt’s not blocked yet, so no proper pics, but I just had to show you all that
\na) It’s done, and
