Yay!! I finished the Everyday
Yay!!
I finished the Everyday sleeves today. Hip hooray!! So I now have all these pieces of stockinette waiting for me to have 10 minutes free to block them. And with school holidays starting next week, I can't see it happening in the next fortnight. :(
However, I did cast on DH's jumper in the Jo Sharp Silkroad. Yuuummmmmm. I am using my new Addi Turbos, and I don't know if it is the yarn or the needles, or both, but this is knitting!
The yarn is soft, the needle smooth, and it is all just sliding along beautifully!
I also got an interesting letter from Interweave Knits today. You may or may not recall that weeks ago, I decided to subscribe. Within a week or so, I received a bill in the mail, which said that I would get my first issue free very soon. So today, I got a second notice on my bill, asking if I'd enjoyed the magazine, and that they hoped I'd send payment soon so that they could send me the next issue.
Well, I never received a damn thing. Except the bill. So I emailed them today, pointing out that I was a little uncertain about sending payment in case I never got anything from them at all.
Thank God for Jill, or I'd never see these magazines. I'm a little wary now of following through with this subscription. I wonder if FCEK is a better idea?
Comments
I took out a subscription recently. I paid by credit card over the net so there were no bill requests. Interestingly when the mag arrived it did so without any envelope - just the magazine with AusPost franking all over the front cover. I await my next issue with interest to see if it is enclosed - hoping that the first was wrapped but it was ripped in transit (address label was stuck to the front cover so I assume a clear plastic wrap). I ordered a back issue from their damaged goods sale and I'll be most annoyed if it arrives sans cover - if it is already "damaged" the mind boggles what an international flight would do to it!

Let me know what happens with IK. If you aren't going to be getting it, I'll keep sending. Hooray for the Everyday being close to finished!
