Naturally dyed, too??? C'mon, Deer, we're gettin' on a plane for Finland!

If you like half a meter of snow.

One in my group is all agog over the natural dyeing of silk thread...wonderful shiny colors. The everyman's right over here allows people to collect plants and whatnot in the woods, as long as they're not on the verge of extinction.

Returning to the first post...actually got my hoard of socks and mittens from Tallinn. Maybe I'll post a photo, I simply love these traditional patterns. Much more useful than plastic use-once-throw-away-wossnames from China.

Erm. Maybe we'll wait.

Yes yes, pictures of the socks and stuff! </crazyknittinglady>

Naw, naww, I get that...

The rest of us are all talk and no action!

Or, all want and no money.

Half a meter of snow? I lived in the Northeastern US most of my life. That's just normal winter. If I still had my dog team, I'd be on my way.

Precisely, *normal* winter. But everyone else seems to deem this is the center of Antarctica where fire itself freezes. It's usually gone by the end of April, although it did sleet during the early May last year.

I want the walk on water ball.... seriously. I admit that I did in fact order the inflatable remote controlled shark...
