Arr... I am a yarn pirate.

And I've captured me some Australian booty.

Miss Fee posted about some really AWESOME Folca boxes that she picked up in her hometown in Australia, and I commented back with utmost lust. So she said she'd pick me up some. Because she is AMAZING. So I offered to send her some stuff back in exchange, and it turned into something a bit more than just Folca boxes and coil-less safety pin stitch markers. We are knitters. Knitters are a little bit insane wonderful.

First off are the stamps. Georgia and I had a moment in the Post Office where we were squealing over the really cool stamps, and that I got a package from Australia (it's a first for me!) and all of a sudden we'd gathered a small crowd of people who were all exclaiming about the stamps and the general coolness of getting a package from Australia. One person said "That's a real motherf$#!ing platypus, yo." Yup. Gotta love the Bronx.

Platypus stamp is on the far right.

Miss Fee also sent me some yarn:

Fibreworks Laceweight. Sooooooo pretty. And about 100 yards!

Ms. Gusset Sock Yarn (proudly grown, spun and dyed in Australia!)

Knitabulous Sock Yarn in the Impossiblue colorway.

Patons Sock Yarn. I think maybe Miss Fee is trying to tell me something?

A kookaburra postcard. Georgia has claimed it.

And lastly, the Folca boxes. These are so awesome. I was completely right in lusting after them. Also, when I pulled them out Georgia said "can I have them?" and I wasall "HECK NO" and she said "Ok, I'll just wait until you die." Um. Thanks. Always nice to have your five-year-old wishing for your imminent death so that she can get her hands on your jewelry collection and your Folca boxes.


Stitch marker organization, HERE I COME! I'm so excited. These boxes are so flippin cool.

Thank you, Miss Fee.

  1. that is so cool - perhaps Georgia needs her very own folca?

    I didn't mean for you to just knit socks - but saw all of your scarves and cowls and thought of those.....
    Happy FLOCA!!!!

  2. What a lovely package! I've never hear, nor seen folca bags. They are especially made for stitch markers?
    Has by any chance my handspun yarn made it to you yet?
