Just as I was serving up dinner tonight, the doorbell rang. As I muttered under my breath about bad timing, soggy wantons and mushy noodles, Beloved and Pirate Jim went downstairs to answer it.
Dinner, however, was quite quickly forgotten.
It was a box from Germany.
A very exciting box.
With lots of yummy yarn inside. Lots of sock yarn. Opal, Regia, Tekking XXL, Twister. (sorry, awful photo. I was excited.)
Some of this is special order, the rest is just because I can. For Canberra SnBers, I'm willing to part with it (maybe!), and will bring it along to the next SnB.
And a little something for me - Drops Alpaca. (If you havent dropped (haha, geddit?) by this site before, it is loaded with free patterns. Go there.)
And a kit for a Karen Noe anenome shawl, destined for a gift. Sorry, colours are a bit crappy.
I didnt even notice the wantons were soggy. I'm off to reorganise my international boodle and play diplomat.

What a great haul - was there anything in there that you had forgotten about? So many possibilities!
My precioussss, my precioussss, come to Mummy.... We'll have to have a gimme-my-yarn-grab - no, sorry, a civilised cup of tea together and pleasant handing over of wonderful German sock yarn.
Seriously - thanks for ordering and posting my portion of the order - looks GREAT. Hubby is hanging out for new socks, while I'm not so sure (he has really big feet!).
Parcels are SOOOO exciting. I'm sure the neighbours think I have a thing for our parcel delivery woman.
Love the colours in the alpaca. The Drops site is pretty amazing.
Want me to drop by with cash?
