Kurt Vonnegut, dead at 84. And despite being a smoker for most of those 84 years, it was a brain injury from a fall that finally did him in.
Another reason why the King Of Thailand is a top bloke and beloved by his people.
I finally heard from my KTA pal today, which was a relief – I tried an alternate contact method, which seemed to do the trick.
Yesterday brought exciting mail – some 15cm knitpicks DPN’s from Donyale, and the new Bendigo shade card. No exciting new colours with appalling names, and nothing new and noteworthy at all, but just more of the same, good old, reliable Bendy. Except that they seem to have dropped the black Harmony, which is a bummer – I was all inspired by Bex to make a cardi out of this stuff. If you haven’t tried it, give it a go – 200 grams for $11, and if you can handle the poxy colours limited colour range, it is lovely to knit with. A blend of cotton, wool ad lycra, it’s cool and lofty, sproingy and stretchy, and wonderful for kids clothes. I’ve done a few EZ BSJ’s out of it and a couple of stroller blankies too.
The picture at the top shows some progress on the melon lace knitted on border – I am getting the hang of the pattern, and speeding towards my first turn. I’ve joined on the border incorrectly, but I like the look of it, so I’m not going back.

My gosh those needles are pointy. My Bendigo card arrived yesterday too – thanks for the advice regarding the Harmony, I will give it a whirl I think.

Hope you are feeling better these days! I love Donni’s needles, they are fantastic, even in the car door!!. I am sad that the Harmony Lime has disappeared, luckily I have a ball and a half.. but it was so lovely..
