Tapestry Craft Christmas Sale

The Tapestry Craft Christmas Sale is now on! You’ll also note that the site has been completely rebranded, a Herculean task I managed to pull off in THREE DAYS this week. (I’m stunned myself.) Please let me know what you think!

Tea Cosy Swap Package

My Tea Cosy Swap PackageRemember the Tea Cosy Swap package I sent off a week or two ago? Well, yesterday I got surprised at work with my own package from Westozcaat! The Express Post bag was seriously full to bursting, and Little Bec and Devvy couldn’t believe it as I kept pulling package after package out from inside. I got two handknitted teacosies (one of which from Amy‘s pattern!), a knitted washcloth, four different kinds of tea, two sets of handmade stitch markers, three packets of cookies, candy, a shawl pattern, some little toys, a magnet, a lint shaver… It was incredible. Thanks so much to Westozcaat for livening up a pretty stressful week!

Club 23

Dude! Club 23‘s for sale! I predict Eileen is headed to a loan shark as we speak…

New Knitty

The new Knitty is up, and it’s SOCKTACULAR. I like the Lighthouse Gansey Socks, Azure Socks, and Slippery Socks. I also really like the Three Tams. I have to say, though, that Kitty is the most frighteningly ugly knitted toy I’ve seen in a long time. That first picture looks like it’s about to eat the child.

Sydney Storm

Snookums pointed me to these really awesome photos of the storm we had in Sydney earlier this week.

Government Porn

So wait a second… If Telstra is part-owned by the government, and Telstra sells porn, that means it’s really the government that’s selling the porn!

Festive Knit Vomit

Festive Knit Vomit
When Mel sends me a link, I have to click on it carefully. I mean, this is the girl who finds some of the most filthy stuff on the Internet the HEIGHT OF HILARITY. So it was with trepidation today that I clicked over to this site… and found myself disgusted in a whole new way. Thanks, Mel.

Random Stripe Generator

Random Stripe Generator. I just found this on Ravelry this morning, and it’s AWESOME. Great for knitters, and probably for lots of other artsy-craftsy activities.

Perfect Cheezburger

I’d have to say that this is just about the best LOLCAT pic I’ve seen in a while. I like the fact that it takes you a second to get the joke. I find that much cleverer that the ones that spell everything out. (“WHERE DAT RODERUNNER GONE?”)

FOUR PAIRS

People often get quite astonished when they see me knitting two socks at once. I wonder what they’d make of this lady?
