Coraline!

I read (or rather, listened to as an audiobook) Neil Gaiman's Coraline a while back - it was guaranteed entertainment, as Gaiman always is. Today, I came across Wendy's post about her surprise gift.

Ended up finding some keycodes to the Coraline stopmotion movie page.

It looks A.W.E.S.O.M.E.

we have teeth and we have tails
we were here before you fell
you will be here when we rise

Sock yarn doesn't count!

Now, everyone **knows** sockyarn doesn't really count in your stash, so technically my stash did NOT just grow by 7 skeins of lovely Danish merino-blend...



[Ravelry-link for the yarn]

210m/50g skein, 30 sts/10cm, bought from 123knit.com about 22,13 NOK per skein + postage. Thinking of Frankensocks from Fall08 Knitty or some such ^_^
