Awesome

A great idea for a postcard series. Write a novel on the back, and each card goes together with the next to tell the other 1000 words of the story.

How to make a postcard mosaic.

I had some bad news on the weekend. My fairy knitmother is moving to another state. I’m sure it’s not personal, and she’s going to have a wonderful time, it’s a great job, there are sheep, blah, blah, blah. But what if I fuck up my lace ? Or need to modify a pattern? Who’s going to hold my hand when everything goes wrong? Who’s going to put my eleventy three dropped stitches back on the needles ? Who is going to enable my stash enhancement? OK, I can handle that without her, but you get the idea.

Our little knitting group is going to be seriously compromised. There will definitely be more men than women now! (Men are great. Men that knit are wonderful – but they do attract unwanted attention when they knit in public).

Speaking of blokes, have you listened to David’s podcast yet ? It’s bloody good. Really. I’m not just saying that because he knows my mobile number. He’s smart, and warm, and witty, and Australian – so the content is local and fresh, but there’s no cultural cringe. I don’t want to be mean (that comes naturally), but there was another Aussie podcast (which seems to have gone under), which makes David look like Sir Lawrence Olivier.

Come to think of it, there may be a slight resemblance.

And the picture? Just a pretty sunset, taken from the verandah at Hamish & Heather’s place up north.
