Spinning Yarn:
Antarctic Good Wishes 4

Natalie Pearson  Fantastic Marion! Have a wonderful time with your little gem." (www.organisedforyou.com.au)

David Schirmer: It's wonderful to watch all that planning come to fruition. Please post your website link so that people know you are the lady who is spinning Mawson's beanie in Antarctica! www.DavidSchirmer.com

Lorna Schirmer "So good to see your dream being fulfilled ... ;-)"

Debbie Maveus (USA) Way to go, Marion!! Looks so fun, and makes me miss the cute penguins we saw in Australia, when Deanna & I were visiting! I love them! Can't wait to hear about the whole trip!

Mandie Chandler (Ewe Give Me The Knits!): "Awesome Marion! I hope you're having a wonderful time, look forward to hearing more of your spinning adventures! xo"

Vicki Judd (Crossfibres, The Basin) Looking forward to hearing about it all when you get back Marion, you're an inspiration to those of us who want to get out of our comfort zone and climb out of the rut".

Sharon Carlton, (Crossfibres, The Basin): I wish you all the very best with your trip Marion. I watched a movie set in the Antarctic last week. It was horrifying with the winds and the cold and couldn’t help wondering whatever has possessed you to do such a thing but I respect your right to do so and admire enormously anyone who follows their dreams. I will watch your blog with interest. Heard you on 3aw today -- Good heavens. Soon we’ll all be saying we got to know you ‘before’ you became famous!

Rosetta Verduci (Rhema Family church) Hi my friend, So good to hear from you, and well done, congratulation for doing what you have set out to do. You are an inspiration to me. How is the 5 star treatment? Was it all you did not want ?

Melissa Ryan (Crossfibres Selby): "Hope your enjoying yourself. Here in Melbourne its muggy and wet. How are you finding spinning up there. Any different to the ice lounge?"

Andrew Bauld (Scratchthat! Cat scratching posts) Well…..how is it going so far? After all, you are ‘so far’ now….Remember….lots of photos of the ship and try if you can to get one of the bow smacking through the ice. Be safe, be warm, and get all spun out. I wish that I could’ve been with you, Marion. What an adventure. Praying for a great and safe journey. Love you lots, O Great Explorer Sister of Mine.

Andrew Wheatland: "Yay! Great work spinning in such icy conditions!"

Tina Gleeson (Pakenham): Looking forward to catching up when you have returned to Terra Australis!!"
