Innboks og utboks / Inbox and outbox

Det går en del post her om dagen. Noe inn, noe ut. Jeg har foreksempel sendt Argosy avgårde til Island, hvor jeg håper at noen vil levere den til mottakeren på bursdagen hennes.

Og så har jeg sendt Lilje hennes Hemmelig Sommervenn-pakke, og den er mottatt, og jeg tror hun likte den. Etterhvert håper jeg at det vil komme en liknende pakke dumpende i min postkasse, det blir spennende!

I innboksen hos meg har det kommet mer Online-garn til babyjakken fra Strikkinnom, og jeg er i ferd med å gjøre den ferdig. Men det går saaakte, for jeg har vært så trøtt de siste dagene, at jeg faktisk har sovnet samtidig som jeg har strikket! Har flere ganger våknet etter at jeg har duppet med hodet, og registrert at fingrene fortsatt går. Ikke akkurat det lureste, om du vil unngå mistede masker. Heldigvis har det så langt gått bra.

Siste tilskudd til innboksen regner jeg med at vil bli mine bestillinger fra Hurt Book Sale på Interweave Press. Forsøkte alt jeg kunne å bestille Lace from the attic, men det var utrolig pågang der i går. Er allikevel fornøyd med bøkene jeg har bestilt: Scarf Style av Pam Allen og Wrap Style av Pam Allen og Ann Budd. Begge disse kom på 250 kr. inkludert porto, det er omtrent det samme som bokkilden tok for bare den ene. Fornøyd! Nå mangler jeg bare Lace Style, men den kan jeg ønske meg til bursdagen min.


There's a lot of mail-activity going on here these days. Some mail going out, some coming in. I have, for instance, sent my Argosy on it's way to Iceland, where I hope somebody will give it to the birthday-lady on her big day - 94 years old.

I have also sent the package for the Secret Summerpal to Lilje, and I think she liked it. I sent her 2 balls of mohair-yarn, some matching glass beads, some Oreo's, some tea, some home-made markers, a receipe for the feltet bag I knitted recently, and yarn to go with it. I am awaiting a similar package myself, but I don't know who will be sending me, so I will just wait and see.

Now news from the inbox: Online-yarn for the babyjacket finally arrived, so that I can finish it. It's going along veeery slowly, because I've been so extremely tired lately. I've caught myself snoozing off while keeping on knitting several times, and that is hardly a good strategy if you want to finish, and especially if you want to avoid slipped stitches.

The latest addition to the inbox are the books I ordered from the Hurt Book Sale at Interweave Press. I tried my best at ordering Lace from the attic yesterday, but there must have been an awful lot of people attempting the same thing. Luckily there were some books left this morning, and I got Scarf Style by Pam Allen and Wrap Style by Pam Allen and Ann Budd. I got both for $40 incl. shipping, which I'm very pleased about. That is about the price I would have had to pay for just one of those books in a local shop, so I'm very pleased. I still want Lace Style, but that will be a good gift for my birthday.
