A little while back, Ailsa<\/a>, Jussi<\/a> and I ordered a cone of Zephyr to split three ways. It came to my house last week, and I sent it on to Ailsa, who used Donni’s<\/a> jumbo ball winder to wind it for us.
\nAnd yesterday it came back to me.

\nThank you, Ailsa and Donni!
\nI think it is destined to become this.

\nThe Seascape Shawl from Fiber Trends. I buy my Fiber trends patterns from an Australian ebay seller, Wool Cottage<\/a>. Great prices, and actually w-a-y cheaper to buy in Australia than to import from overseas. (For a change!)
\nNot sure when I’ll get to the shawl, I seem to be buying projects faster than I can knit them.
\nI joined a new knitalong too! Sock It To Me Summer<\/a> hosted by Taryn<\/a> and Alison<\/a>. I really need to finish Em’s never ending knee highs so I can start new socks. I want to teach myself 2 socks on 2 circs.
\nI took some pictures of the lorikeets in the front yard. Here is Australia, we have some really pretty native birds. These are Rainbow Lorikeets<\/a>. Extremely pretty, but noisy as all hell. I’m telling you, the prettier the bird around here, the more horrible it sounds. These guys are not often seen alone. There are generally 2 or more together, and they feed in the native trees. Our villa complex has Grevillea bushes all up and down the driveway, with one only a yard or so from our bedroom window, and another one 2 yards from the loungeroom window. One day last week, there were several in each bush, squawking, arguing and chattering to each other at 5.30am. Loudly. Seriously, they never bloody shut up.

\nThat last guy looks a bit menacing, doesn’t he? You can get up pretty close to them, but as soon as they realise how close you’re getting, they start telling you off. Loudly. They don’t do anything quietly! The galahs and cockatoos are noisy too, but we don’t get many in our yard. We occasionally see Kookaburra’s. When we stayed at the in-laws last christmas, there was a Kookaburra right outside the window that started carrying on every morning before the sun was up.
\nIt’s amazing how unamusing their laughter is then!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
