A Swappin'

Have you heard about Good Yarn Karma?  It's a very cool site, designed for people who are ready to let go of stash yarn, books and accessories, and people who want stash yarn, books and accessories.

Donyale posted a while back, looking for the current copy of Interweave Knits, and offered a copy of the Australian magazine, Yarn, in trade.  I jumped right on that offer, and the promised mag arrived in the mail today!  Very fun, and always a treat to see what's new and exciting on the other side of the world.  Thanks so much, Donyale!  (BTW, you should check out her blog, there is some very funny stuff there, including a wonderful Ode to Clapotis.)

I cast on this morning for a pair of Monkeys, bowing to all of you Monkey-lovers.  So far, I'm still on the ribbing, and I'm not feeling the love yet, but I'm reserving judgement for once I get a bit farther in.  (Which will hopefully be soon, as I have tonight off work - hooray!)

Neat-o magazine. I love my friend's British ones.

Now I have another thing to do and check! That blog is brilliant.

I'm glad you've started your Monkeys - welcome aboard.

PS: I love what you said about Donyale. She happens to be a very good friend of mine! :)

That's really cool, I love seeing knitting mags from around the world and a refreshing take on things.

Oooh, I must check out that Karma site! And when are you going to cast on for a pair of Pomatomus? Now those are really beautiful!
