Gloomy Week

31st July 2008 – 8:18 am

It’s been one gloomy week and I hope this cloud will go away soon. Firstly, it’s been raining every single day since last week and according to the weather forecast, it will continue to rain until end of this week. Meaning, it’s hard doing your laundry and I don’t have a dryer at home. So what do you do? Hang all the laundry inside the house, everywhere. Yes. It’s a mess and it’ll take a least a few days for them to get dry properly.

Secondly, I finally made a decision to purchase a yarn winder and skeiner from Petlins. The total costs is $110 including shipping. I have been so excited about it and waiting anxiously for the package to arrive. Mind you, I contacted the seller and was informed that the package has been posted on the 11th July and it’s almost 3 weeks now and still no sign of the package!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :evil: :evil: :evil:

Thirdly, I joined #3 Aussie Swap on Ravelry and was told that my swap package has been posted about 2 weeks ago and still no sign of this package too!!!!! :evil: :evil: :evil:

How can I not received 2 packages?????? What is Auspost doing with my mail??? Argh!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I seldom rant but this is just too much!!! I’m upset!! I’m mad!!! I’m angry!!! I’m sad!!! I’m dissappointed!!!! :cry: :cry: :cry:

I hope these packages will turn up soon. Please don’t be lost mail. Sigh…

I suppose the weather kinda match how I’m feeling right now. The only upside to all these rain is that I get to see rainbows almost everyday.

Tilted Duster

26th July 2008 – 10:24 pm

I have been very busy knitting a huge project for the past few three weeks and it it’s finally finished!!! I’m really happy with this project and it’ll definitely be one of my favourites :)

I present you, my Tilted Duster!!!

Pattern: Tilted Duster
Yarn: 4.05 skeins of Cascade 220 Heathers in Garnet
Needles: 5.5 mm

This is a very interesting knit as the front pieces are tilted (hence it’s called Tilted Duster). From this project, I learned to do short row shaping for the shoulders and my seaming technique has gotten better. I don’t think I’m afraid of seaming anymore so bring it on!!! :mrgreen:
