My Amazon order arrived this morning! Yaaaaay!

I had to sneak out in my pjs and dressing gown to get it, but that’s okay because the postie always leaves parcels by the door, so the risk of being seen by the neighbours was minimal. The beau has a cold, so we were both sleeping in. (I’m making up for a very busy start of the week.) I started reading one of the Yarn Harlot books, but changed to the Wendy Knits one because I kept giggling, and I was worried I’d keep the beau awake.

That’s when I discovered this:

One section of the book is printed upside down! Well, having worked in publishing, I know this is one of those printer errors that easily slips through. I’ve emailed Amazon to get a replacement. From what I’ve heard, they’re pretty good about these things.

I’m hoping they won’t ask me to mail it straight back, because I’ve waited weeks for this parcel and I wanna read ALL these books NOW!

But this isn’t all the yarn-related news of the day. Yesterday I received my Secret Pal recipient details. I chuckled to myself while reading her site, because we are two peas of the same pod. She lives in a country from which some of my ancestors came from, and the bloodlines on that side are pretty dominant. We look remarkably alike. Our tastes in food and yarn are quite similar too. I started a list of ideas for gifts to send.

Last night was craft night, and much fun was had, particularly with some on-demand humourous drawings (which I didn’t get a close enough look at – they were a bit naughty and there was some concern at offending the newbie). I got to fondle Peeve‘s new sock yarn, and Lynne‘s delectable dyeing. Purplexity was turning out more impressive crochet garments and there was some tapestry work going on that I was afraid to look at, because it looked so complex my brain might implode.
