  • a quick announcement

    Those of you that get the newsletter and were hoping to come in and get some Socks that Rock…well, it’s all gone. In less than 24 hours (more like 5 hours if you only count the hours we were open!), no less. Not to say that you shouldn’t come in and see us and the yarn, indeed you should, but if you were hoping for some elusive STR you might have to wait awhile longer.

    I had a busy and fun day. Current knitting is still a bit boring, though; I think it’s time for a new project!

  • and a yee-haw!

    Well, I finished my last exam of my third year of undergrad on Tuesday, so of course I’ve been busy out and about since then! (I start my summer term on monday, but at least that’s only one class, twice a week, for two months.) Today I went indoor rock climbing for the first time in a long while and my arms, they are a-sore.

    So. I don’t really have any knitting progress to report – I’ve been working a little bit on VBC, and I finished the first front of the Rowanspun jacket (which I’m not really feeling anymore…hmm). Not much spinning to talk about either, because I’ve been spinning a whole lotta skinny white merino. I need to spice that up and soon, so I think I’ll quickly spin up some dyed merino at a chunkier gauge very, very soon.

    I do have ideas, though, so new and exciting things are soon to come! In the meanwhile…I really need to concentrate on having a rockin’ couple days of freedom!

  • just popping in to say

    I am soooooo jealous seeing people’s hauls from MDSW! Why oh why didn’t I ask Rachel H to pick me up at least some merino top on the cheap, now that I’m out of things to dye?!

    I did just get an email back from RHLindsay saying that it would cost $35 US to ship 15 pounds of merino (priced at $9.50 US/pound) here, and the same amount to ship a full bump (about 30 pounds)!

    They have free shipping in the States on a full bump, so to Canada they charge whatever’s above what they would pay UPS to ship within the states – so it comes out about the same. Of course, there’d also be taxes to pay on top of that but…maybe I could get them to put the value down as less than what it actually is, so I’d pay less taxes.

    Hmmm. Anyone in town here need some merino, around $16-17 canadian per pound?

    Or…any Americans driving up to visit Toronto in a few months (it takes them awhile to send out a full bump order) that’d be willing to be a merino mule carrier?

    Oy. Self, stop thinking about merino. Study, dammit.
