I got my new toy the other day.
It's SO PRETTY! And it's quite fun to spin on - because it's so slooooow. Its lowest ratio is 3:1, and so it's fantastic for ze bulky goodness, which I'm hoping to do a little bit more of soon - make me some nifty hats - I have a great pattern for a top hat which I'm thinking this chunky stuff will be poifect for. If I can remember which Knit1 it was in. Hm. The guy I bought it from said that he thought the painting had been done by his mother-in-law, and it came with the most adorable "recipes for fancy yarns" which I'll photograph during the day - the macro won't pick it up at night time. Very very cute.
I've been knitting fairly quickly (by my standards where I complete one jumper per year) on the cotton jumper, it's looking luscious(this is me knitting on the greyhound to Sydvegas), and I'm trying to pretend that The Other Green Jumper doesn't exist. Other than that... tomorrow's my last day at my current work position, and I move sideways and slightly upward through the organisation to my two new part-time job and 2 day a week traineeship in school counselling on Wednesday. Eeeee! :):):)
Good luck with your new position!!

Oh it's loff-lee! It's a lot like a gorgeous Dutch one I was ogling at the Stirling Markets on Sunday.
Jealous!
