Okay, so my whining earlier wasn't entirely justified - I did get some good packages in the mail. The gate, my new sneakers, and my Peace Fleece package.

tallin insisted on socks, and I still haven't decided what colour to do the ones that dawnstar asked for, so like a good guinea pig the spouse gets the Experimental Socks with this yarn: 'baghdad blue', if you're curious. The colours on the site don't do it justice.
But it's ridiculously soft. It doesn't seem so at first, but it softens up nicely as you play with it.
*pokes site* ... oh dear, they have some new colours. I really like the 'heavenly blue'. I got a sample baby skein (for sushi!) of the 'balkai/superior green', and that would make some spiffy dark green sockiddas ... the lichen/lavender, the bright lupine ...
*hides credit card from self*
I finished half the base part of the bag. I don't know whether or not my gauge is totally fubared or what, but it doesn't look like it's going to work out to be a big bag ... more like a smallish purselike thing. Which is not bad, by any means.
I need a stitch-and-bitch that doesn't meet at noon on Wednesdays. And that's in my local area. Failing that, a matter transporter.
