I got RAOK'd!
When i got to the Post office this morning, there was a mystery package from Carolina. Much excitement ensued as the package was opened and the beads revealed.
Thankyou, Carolina!! :)
In other news I have a whine about Amazon. Remember that several weeks ago, I placed an order with them? I ordered The Knitter's Handy Book of Sweater Patterns, Pipsqueaks, Rowan Junior, 365 Knitting Stitches a Year, and Stephen King's The Dark Tower.
At the time, The Dark Tower wasn't being released until today, 21 September, and it was delaying my whole order. So, I went back, cancelled The Dark Tower, and ordered it separately so my order wouldn't be delayed.
The Dark Tower shipped on September 17. My knitting books still haven't shipped.
Bah!!
I'm dying to get my hands on the King book, and there will be a major argument here with my DH about who will read it first, but I want my bloody knitting books! It turns out that there is a delay on Pipsqueaks, and it won't ship until mid-October. Hopefully the other 3 will ship today, but God only knows when I'll see them!
On a sidenote, does anyone know where I can easily obtain the little pamphlet thingy to go with the Knitter's Handy Books that tells you how much yarn you need? I got both books from Amazon, and they don't mention the yardage thingy, which I imagine would be quite helpful.
Lovely beads. And sorry to hear about your shipping problems with Amazon. We have had similar problems.
Em's poncho looks great and I think the size is perfect...a little room to grow is a good thing. She looks quite lovely in her dancing costume. I am so grateful Gracie has chosen swimming. :)
