"gaojijingpin hunfangrongxian" is Chinese Pinyin, which means "high class blended wool yarn". "Elaboation"... I think it's a typo.NostalgicKnothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00197391303277954357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137298368460458257.post-20015441969279771012009-07-01T16:05:02.011-07:002009-07-01T16:05:02.011-07:00What great yarns.

That cracks me up). I think the Tempest combo looks cool!Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16273727983110361664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137298368460458257.post-1299915248674697382009-06-29T19:25:56.425-07:002009-06-29T19:25:56.425-07:00The guesswork on the Chinese yarn cracks me up...i...The guesswork on the Chinese yarn cracks me up...it's almost worse that you can pick out only the numbers - it makes your mind run wild with possibilities rather than leaving it completely in the dark. 80%...seaweed? 80%...candy? (I thought it was food too, so if it were me, I'd have tried to eat it).<br /><br />You're due for a happier week. Maybe it was the bad juju of major celebrity drama and political scandals? Frogging Tempest would probably make you feel better...a fresh start.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137298368460458257.post-87159546818375968142009-06-29T11:28:56.257-07:002009-06-29T11:28:56.257-07:00I had a not-so-fantastic week myself, chickadee.

I like your "big picture" reasoning though - even when things go wrong, nobody is dying, we still have food and shelter and the people we love, etc. It can be really easy to get caught up in the horrific details of a rough period. Things always work out eventually :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137298368460458257.post-16254071593215969702009-06-29T09:34:08.943-07:002009-06-29T09:34:08.943-07:00What interesting yarn.

This made me smile today: I texted Happy Bday to a friend named Kendra. She said, "Thanks, at this age I just kind of ignore them. The highlight of my day was my grandma calling to sing Happy Birthday to me. Even if she did call me Marilyn!" (I asked, there isn't ANYONE in her family named Marilyn. I love that it still meant so much to her!<br /><br />Here's to a better next week.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01152736211118088492noreply@blogger.com
