Yay, the new issue of Yarn magazine is out! I really like the bag on the cover and can't wait to get my hands on it :)

Unfortunately I have a virus of some sort and I won't know if it's contagious until I visit the doctor on Monday or Tuesday (depending on how our car repairs go) so I won't be able to score a copy until at least then. If the internet is to be believed I've had it in my system for several months (the virus, not the magazine), which explains a few previous unexplained fevers. Not to mention the size of my right foot (it's a lot bigger than it used to be). Oh well, at least it's not measles.

Hmmm, maybe I should just send Jamie to Borders with $30 and pictures of the covers of Yarn and SpinOff (although he may never come out again with all those pretty books around).

I'm off to spend a relaxing day drinking tea, plying laceweight yarn (with my left foot), weaving squares for this week's Square Deal Weave-Along and catching up on my email. I may even get around to photographing last week's squares!

Edited to add: Because I've been feeling a bit off colour for a few weeks I haven't finished some website updates I was hoping to have done a week ago. Because of this you might come across a couple of broken links to things like the Edwardian spiritualism scrapbook and hairpin lace pages. Please ignore them. I'm going to finish those updates when I feel better.
