I wish the conversion would work that way for me when I am ordering stuff in $US and then have to pay in $AU :(Ginger_nuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11126397199192010147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21397483.post-58181234948002383692009-02-16T08:07:00.000-05:002009-02-16T08:07:00.000-05:00I'm pretty sure I don't need to order more yarn bu...I'm pretty sure I don't need to order more yarn but you made it sound intriguing and so I'll probably peruse the website during my break today. They don't need to advertise, they have bloggers!<BR/><BR/>btw, the Faux Russian Prime Starf is lovely.

I'm in the middle of a 8-ply Rustic Cobblestone, in Damson for DH. Lovely colour and the yarn knits up very nicely. I have a bunch of Colonial for me, can't wait to start knitting with it!Malinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04736288458471413277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21397483.post-31534368369233895172009-02-15T22:43:00.000-05:002009-02-15T22:43:00.000-05:00Take what you felt about the price going down and ...Take what you felt about the price going down and reverse that feeling and you'll get how it feels to pay for US yarn with AUD!!

I'm with Bells - theres an automatic add 50% which goes on for me. No more US orders for a while.<BR/><BR/>Love William Morris and his contemporaries - you must have been a Celt in a former life - beauty and utility went hand in hand - beautifully decorated ridge poles in houses and cloaks and or course all that lovely weaving and spinning in plaids and trews!TinkingBellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05424679933020998879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21397483.post-10614087781541716362009-02-15T17:29:00.000-05:002009-02-15T17:29:00.000-05:00I'm with Bells on this one.

Every so often I get a yearning to join a US sock club but no matter how many times I look at them, I just can't justify spending that much money. Of course I didn't have one of those yearnings during the period of time last year when the exchange rate was in our favour.

I was checking out Australian yarns--I'm hoping my mil will bring me some back, although I'm not sure, as she's not one to go off from the tour on her own to explore--and I was shocked at how the prices converted. Same thing on the Australian Red Cross website. <BR/><BR/>Was the international shipping reasonable? Maybe I should just cut out the middle (wo)man and start ordering from Down Under myself!!amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02429539000041713324noreply@blogger.com
