My work phone rang yesterday and the following conversation was had.
- The Boss aka Mr Yorkie: You have 4 bags of wool.
- Innocent me: are you sure?
- MY: Theres a Blue one, you've had one of those before. Theres one from Cambridge.
- Me: Thats a Cardigan, it doesn't count.
- MY: humph, theres one from Yorkshire.
- Me: Thats a swap, still doesn't count.
- MY: Oh hang on this last one from Australia isn't wool it says Yarn.
- Me: See you later Alligator!
Exhibit A. in the Postal saga, posted 15/10 First Class in bonnie Scotland (but not the remote bit!). Yarn Yard Sock Yarn on Blue Jeans and Parfait, delicious. The Blue Jeans is because I thought it might be better to tone down my sock wear for work......not.

Exhibit B. posted 16/10 in Australia, slightly more South than Scotland! The Knittery Warm Pinks Cashmere Merino Sock yarn. This is lovely yarn and $5 for each skein sold will be donated to Breast Cancer organisations. I would have bought it regardless, you may have noticed I'm a sucker for Pinks.

Both arrived yesterday, so that's 11 days from Scotland and 10 from Australia. Is it a wonder Royal Mail are losing business.
Finally a package that was crammed with yarn I had swapped via Ravelry with Piglottie firstly the one I was expecting Sweet Georgia Speed Demon in Black Orchid which is impossible to photograph.
This only took 3 days, not bad for 1st class.........what is the point in paying the extra nowadays.Anyway the arrival of these packages has stopped me filling shopping carts across the net, at least for a few days.

Who is leading who astray? ;)
They are georgeous...........I would love a guided tour around your stash one day :)
Beautiful wool.
Well done on the choices. It is unfortunate isn't it when other halves are in when the post arrives?
I have to put my hand up to this one Gilraen, although I read about the Knittery on someone elses blog. Can't think whos!
