Gifts from abroad
(woohoo!)
Faithful readers of the wonderful Alison may remember that I was the lucky winner of a mystery prize at the end of her recent Canadian adventure. I failed to correctly guess the number of fish she caught at Crotch Lake, but I did manage to get my name plucked from a hat. Or was it that I won Miss Congeniality? I think that may have been it… anyway, true to her word, Alison sent me a prize. It arrived today. Jealous? You should be. It rocks!
Oh, and as promised a picture of my brother’s raglan in progress. I managed to sneak enough knitting time in tonight to finally join the body and sleeves and do a couple of rounds.
The picture sucks, I know. It’s hard to make a black sweater-in-progress look good in a photo. Plus, I didn’t really try that hard to take a good one. Do you still love me?
Tomorrow night is knitting circle, so I should get a good bit closer to finishing it then. Woohoo! Knitting and pizza! I love knitting Tuesdays.
Yay, your prize arrived! I’m glad you like it. 🙂 You got it, Cari: you’re Miss Crotch-geniality!

I’m totally coveting the Crotch Lake mug. And I think the brother sweater is looking good! Can’t wait to see it in person!

(pssst – hey Em, when you’re at knitting, I’ll give you six balls of Koigu and thirty-seven dollars (all that’s in my bank account) to put that mug in your bag and send it to me once you’re clear of the residence…. Deal? Don’t tell Cari…..)

hey! I heard that! Now I’m not letting the divine Em anywhere near that mug! Who could resist a Koigu bribe?
Posted by: Cari
Ooo, is it my turn to get the pizza? I think so, right? Let me know–I’ve gotta stop at the bank on the way : )

Must…resist…bribe! What a choice. Crotch Mug, Koigu. Crotch Mug, Koigu. Gah!
Well, ladies, I think we found the location for our first GAWKon! Then we can ALL get mugs!

Love the mug! And the dogs too.

Damn. When I got back from the Crotch, I really really wished I’d bought more mugs. (I don’t even have one for myself!) But great idea, Em: it would be a great spot for the first GAWK on! Anyway, don’t steal Cari’s mug — stealing’s not nice. Send ME the Koigu, and I’ll try to find a mug that says “From Taiwan, with Smog and Weird Smells”…
