Sorry, the Cotton Ease cardi isn’t done yet.
\nMrs Stripey<\/a> went to San Fransisco a few weeks ago, and let us know in advance, so that if we wanted anything, she could get it for us. So I placed an order for the Knit Picks Palette Sampler<\/a>, and she picked it up and brought it back to Oz for me. I don’t really know what I was expecting, but yesterday I met up ith Mrs Stripey and her two and a half adorable tiger cubs for morning tea, and to collect my yarn.
\nWow! Here in Australia, most of our 4ply (fingering) yarns are baby yarns, and come in 25g balls. Maybe that’s what I thought I was getting. Not quite.

\nI think I’ll be able to make a dolly or two out of that!! I have nowhere to put this yarn. But it’s so nice to look at. And I love the way they pack the bag so that all the colour groups are shaded, with the neutrals down one side.

\nI haven’t actually pulled it out yet, but I had a little feel, and it’s softer than I expected. I thought it’d be scratchy, but it isn’t. I’m tempted to cast on for a Knitted Babe, but I have to finish a few things first.
\nFor Sandy<\/a>, who tagged me, here is my knitting spot.

\nThat’s my seat, as you can see by the various books, yarn and stuff laying about. We need a new lounge suite!
\nAnd here’s the view from my seat.

\nTwinkie thinks she has a better seat!
