<\/a><\/center>\nIt would actually have been quicker, but I had a hectic weekend. SnB was Saturday afternoon, and Em had a dance comp on Sunday. Both of which I always think will give me plenty of knitting time, but both of which fail me every time.
\nI had an unpleasant experience at SnB. I was talking about Twinkie to a friend, and she was asking if Twinkie had Angora in her. I explained that we didn’t really know, but that she’d been sold to us as a dwarf rabbit, but at 5kg, she obviously wasn’t a dwarf.
\nSomeone I don’t even know, who wasn’t even involved in the conversation butted in with “That’s eatin’ weight!” and smacked her lips at me.
\nI was dumbfounded. I just grabbed my stuff and moved to the other end of the room where I fumed for a little while. Shelley, if you’re reading, I’m sorry I walked away mid-conversation, but I was angry<\/em>. Would a person talk about eating someone’s pet cat or dog?!? Of course not, so why is it acceptable to tell me you’d like to eat my pet bunny?
\nSimply, it’s not. It’s rude, and it’s enough to piss me off badly, and have me never, ever talk to you again.
\nIn other (happier) musings, I’d like to ask a favour of a friendly US knitter. Knitpicks for whatever reason, refuses to ship to Australia. The cite reasons such as mail unreliability, but we all know that’s crap. Personally, I’m thinking it’s laziness, but whatever.
\nI’m in love with Autumn Rose<\/a>. I want the kit in that colourway, and the pattern book. When I discussed it with Ailsa at SnB on Saturday, she decided she’d like to knit it too. In total, we’re talking about maybe 25 balls of yarn and a book.
\nSo we need a friendly US resident who’d let us have the parcel shipped to them, and who would then send it on to me. I’ll gladly pay you for the postage via cash funded paypal, and there may even be a small thank you gift of some description involved. One of the colours is out of stock until October 10, so we’d be ordering in two weeks or so.
\nAnyone? Pretty please?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Quick updates! I finished the cardi this morning (Monday), after starting it on Thursday. If I could finish all my projects this quickly, I wouldn’t have a stash! Here it is, unblocked.
