Bleach pens and other items of very necessary flim flam.
Between Jen’s fantabulous shoes [which everyone needs to look at! right now! quickly!] and and Deborah’s cute tank I have realised I would love a bleach pen - but for some reason Australia doesn’t seem to have them. I wonder how customs would feel about me buying one from eBay, and shipping it from the States …
In other news, one of the Melbourne stitch’n'bitchers noted that the Barkly Square Coles was selling toy kntting machines - which immediately set off the ‘I must have’ neurons in my brain. I brought the exceeding unwell Addam with me, and we had a hunt around but came to teh conclusion that couldn’t avoid asking about 5 surly teenagers working there if they had ‘a toy knitting machine’. [Which also lead Addam to observe that I ‘wasn’t a very good man’, as I was eager to ask - rather than just continue looking : P ]. This line of question incurred the surly, confused, irritation of said teenagers until one of them conceded that if they had one if would be up the back next to dairy, and not in the toy section that we had searched.
Success!!!
So I have knitted the very sick Addam some lovely arm warmers.
I am sure he will love them - as only a mid 20s angry computer nerd can love fluffy pink items. [As he is sick, I have a little more time to embellish them - I am thinking about some lacey tops, and some beading too. : D
