News:
In local knitting shop news, The Wool Shop city store has closed. Thankfully their Moorabin and Surrey Hill stores are still open, and they are trying to find a new location for a city store.

Temptation:
First there was the Liza Souza sock colourway, and some other fund-raising booby themed products for Violet of Lime & Violet podcast. Now there are Boobrock stitchmarkers by Ginger_nut at Pierre the Yarn Snob. Go look. They just crack me up.

I’m also seriously tempted by Hanami by Melanie of Pink Lemon Twist. I’m just not a lace-loving girl but, as one commented said, this is so beautiful it would be tempting just to display it as a wall hanging.

Thanks to Micki from a thing for string I’ve discovered a Yarnival. Some interesting blog entries in there.
