I got my special Tribe parcel today from Jussi, thanks so much. I was very busy when I got home from the post office, so didn't get to open the box until I had dinner cooking, which it still is, I hope it doesn't burn...ooops. I shall be quick then.
The box contained some lovely hand dyed by Jussi yarn in the best colours, I love them and the yarn is Rabbit (how cool), also a very nice crochet flower brooch, I am thinking that will go nicely with my clapotis, a box of Boss Lady cinnamon gum, it says to chew them up and spit them out and on the side it says "sizzling nuggets, should I be afraid. A cake of Vanilla soap, I just love vanilla, I have vanilla oil perfume, and I keep spraying the vanilla air freshner in the toilets at work, just to get a smell (how sick is that). A lovely bright green notebook, a bright green with pink spots tiny make up mirror, it is so cute. A lovely skein of pink, white and green of angora yarn (for show) and a lovely needle wrap for my dpn's. The Rabbit yarn was wrapped in pink checked material bag made by Jussi.
I will cherish it all, thanks Jussi.
Earlier this week I got my One Skein pal gift, it is 2 lovely balls of Wirraworra 8ply Wool from South Australia, it feels really soft. The colour is wattlebark, I will wait until my One Skein book arrives from Amazon to see what I will make with this wool. Yes I am still waiting for my books, apparently Amazon said it must have gone missing (someone has got themselves 2 good knitting books - the bitch in me hopes they can't read english), so I had to re-order them and Amazon will refund me the money for the original order, the downfall of this is that it cost me more for quicker postage, which doesn't guarantee delivery, and customs may charge me a tax duty on the parcel now, what bullshit. Anyway I will be just happy to get the books in my hands.
A bit about Wirraworra wool (from the label) It is a semi worsted handknitting yarn, millspun from wool grown on our family's farm at Reeves Plains in South Australia by our coloured Corriedale and Merino sheep.. Their prizewinning fleeces are selected for their silky softness and sorted into 8 natural shades. Subtle variations in shading and texture are designed to create knitted garments with a unique, handspun look. Knit and enjoy - Coloured Wool Naturally!
And no I didn't burn dinner, the T-bones were cooked just right.

corridale makes the best warm socks I get the wool from a lady on ebay and it keeps me happy.
Do you make 8ply socks? Aren't they are bit thick with shoes/boots
no not too bad ive worn them with all the pairs of riding boots Ive had and well now need to add more length to go under the gps. It is just like a thick pair of socks from the shops but far better. If i remember right i brought a pair to knitters guild in febuary. Mine have holes now so i cant bring any more in till i knit some but i do have a basic pattern or use knitty's Thurja pattern
That Knitty pattern is a beaut! Love the background story to the yarn. Great gift box!
wow you are lucky. nice gift too.
