Life in ChippendaleDid I mention that we’re moving into the new house NEXT WEEKEND? It’s exciting. I told the Snook the other night that I find myself a lot more interested in Chippendale issues now that we’re buying here. Which is silly, because we’ve been here for four years already.

Knitted, felted olives. Those are adorable.

This is an Official Halloween Party Reminder for those of you who haven’t told me whether you’re coming to the party this weekend or not. We’re planning food, so drop me a line or SMS and let us know whether to count you in. And for those still looking for a costume, the Snook gives…

Attention Sydney Sock Knitters: I have seen the future, and it is Araucania. Specifically, Araucania Ranco Solid and Ranco Multi. Both are 75% wool, 25% nylon. Both have over 340m per 100g skein (compared to a miserly 267 on Jitterbug). And both were in my hands this afternoon in the shop. I actually GASPED when…
