Frog in knots: November 2005
http://froginknots.blogspot.com/2005_11_01_archive.html
Knitting, knots and frogging. Tuesday, November 29, 2005. Well, the coat's finished - sort of. I still have all the ends to sew in and the lining to do, but I. Figured you'd rather have a sneak preview than wait until I have it all done. I may take some time to get it totally finished. I can't get to. The craft warehouse for the lining material until next week and then it's how long it will take me to do it. Sewing isn't my forte and I have to get used to a new sewing machine first. It was the look I was...

No, never heard of it. Hand over your yarn. Crochetville SP package and Interweave woes. Well, let's start with the rather belated picture of a very lovely package from my Crochetville SP. I got this a little while ago (and posted on the thread in C'ville! But I haven't had my camera until now. Cotton yarn, in a lovely colour! And notepaper and cards! Other than that.new Knitty! Done with a great tone, and helpful photos. Very non-threatening article for a threatening technique. And no new Interweave!

http://auroraknits.blogspot.com/2006/06/world-cup-and-garden-scarf.html
No, never heard of it. Hand over your yarn. World cup and Garden Scarf. Okay, I promised something about the Knitting World Cup. But I just had to show this off first. It's my first crochet project since granny squares as a kid. Garden Scarf", by Michelle Amerson, contained in the book Stitch and Bitch Crochet: The Happy Hooker. Made with stash DK yarn and a 4mm hook, rather than the specified materials. Easy as easy, and everyone has noticed it! I think I could like crochet. Posted by aurora at 5:57 pm.

aurora australis: SP package!
http://auroraknits.blogspot.com/2006/08/sp-package.html
No, never heard of it. Hand over your yarn. I got home this afternoon and found a lovely pink SP package. It has the BIGGEST yarn and needles that I have ever seen in it! That's Big yarn in pink, and two different fun furs. And chocolate. Which someone ate once the package was opened (doo-doo-de-doo). And big needles, which are cute in a weird sort of way. Thanks SP! I love pink. Even when I was a moderator on a goth website, my avatar had pink in it. Another score this week, and a CPurl inspired photo.

http://auroraknits.blogspot.com/2006/09/startitis.html
No, never heard of it. Hand over your yarn. I got a package from my Crochetville. Yarn, coffee, patterns and stickers! The microfibre yarn is very soft. It's trying to escape from its ball band! Some very cool spooky stuff in there, including some neat Hallowe'en stickers, and these dolls. I've never seen anything like them before! They are SO brilliant! Thanks so much, my C'ville friend! In other news, I have Startitis. The Yarn Harlot identifies it in her book Yarn Harlot: Secret Life of a Knitter.

aurora australis: finished bobblicious
http://auroraknits.blogspot.com/2006/03/finished-bobblicious.html
No, never heard of it. Hand over your yarn. I finished Bobblicious last night. Well, modified Bobblicious. Bobble-lessious. By Estee Moscow from Knitty. Sean Sheep "Big River" - approx 7 balls (juuuuust over). Instead of doing bobbles, I did 8 rows of reverse stocking stitch at each cuff. The rest is in normal stocking stitch (right side out). I don't actually like the look of reverse st stitch en masse, which is why I didn't follow the pattern. So my question is. Should I go for a bath mat with:. Crazy ...

No, never heard of it. Hand over your yarn. I'm almost finished a short visit to Canberra. I leave quite soon.

So I got to pick up my standing order at the comic shop, (yay for the latest issue of Fables. And who gets married in it!
