I filled out the online form which paypal promptly rejected, telling me that I had left something out - it didn't say what I had left out but it zero'd my password so I tried changing it. Still paypal rejected my data.
I worked through, changing minor details while I looked for a field which I had missed but still it said 'no'. Finally I started tinkering with my postal address - I have seven of them, most with variations. Suddenly I was in and a message popped up to say that they had checked my address against the Post Office records and I had (finally) given them the correct one according to Australia Post. It is not my address according to the Claremont Council and not my address according to the Electoral Roll but it is the only one which paypay recognises.
I have been spinning a fibreclub offering which is basically red , green and yellow and white in between. I have an aversion to spinning red and green together as it ends up a sort of muddy brown so I laboriously separated the colours and used my blending board to make rolags of the different colours. I am not very good at spinning woollen and the tension on Roberta was playing up but I got it all done and the effect is wonderful. It is red at one end and graduates through pink, apricot, yellow and green. I will post a photo of it wound into a ball for knitting as it shows the colour gradient very well: then I will knit a scarf.
I am about halfway up the back of the Sloppy Joe which I am knitting with the Rosewood colourway and there is going to be a lot over so I might get a slouchy beanie and a pair of mittens to match but they will have to wait ... I have a lot of braids waiting to be spun before I branch out.
Oh - and I finally finished the Beastly Black jacket and it fits, is warm and very comfortable - and we are having the warmest August on record. *sigh*
Edited to add the promised photo. Click on the image to enlarge it.
