Screaming into the Virtual Wind

…But before that exciting announcement (!), I have a plan for those of you who would like their copies of Dunraven Road signed. I’ve decided to create some signed bookplates for anyone who would like one, all I need from you is the cost of postage (I don’t want to sound stingy and would love to send the bookplates out for free, but blah, blah, credit crunch, blah, blah, recession… You get the idea). So… here’s a nifty chart I whipped up with postage details for different countries:

Unfortunately, WordPress refuses to show the neat little PayPal buttons I made, so if you’d like a signed bookplate please head over to my website.

Now for my dark secret… I’m a secret knitter! No, I’m not “old before my time” as someone once suggested, because I make stuff like this…

I proudly present to the world, Fry and Leela from Futurama. I made these as a birthday present for my husband – who knew a grown man could get so much pleasure from two knitted dolls? Here’s Fry and Leela, um, relaxing?:

If anyone is interested, I used patterns from Carol Meldrum’s awesome Knitted Icons: 25 Celebrity Doll Patterns. My sister bought me this book and I can’t thank her enough. If you haven’t seen the knitted Ghandi, you haven’t lived

Also, while I’m on the subject… Were these two separated at birth?!
