    Hi...all you knitters can you please help me with this pattern...I know its not strictly flying or a weekend but iits a xmas pressie

    here goes its a baby cardigan knitted sideways in one piece

    shape neck and right front

    cast on 50 st.

    1st row (neck edge) KNIT

    Starting with a purl row work 6 more rows in st-st

    Work 4 rows inc 1st at neck edge in every row(54) st.....the question is do I increase at the beg or end of the row.



    I can knit anything usually but this isnt making sense....cottonwool brain xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    I've read this several times and can't make sense of it either, sorry. Edit - I think you increase at the beginning of a knit row and the end of a purl row.

    greenbee - I echo everything onestep says about Docs appointment and iron supplements!
    oops... haven't made the appointment yet. I'm taking good multivitamins (most of the time) and generally eating OK so I'm pretty sure I don't need the iron supplement, but will ask. Will make the appointment when this conference call is over...

    Hi everyone,

    Busy day at work doing nothing - so annoying.......:mad:

    Have come home to cat number 3 with a sticky eye. She let me wipe it with a tissue, and doesn't seem to be bothered by it, but she is closing it. I will 'wash' it later when DH is home to help. I'll see how she is in the morning, but she is going to the vets anyway on Friday for her annual jabs and check up (only 2 months overdue-oops!)

    Jassa - my sympathies. Hope you get it all sorted

    Shysarah - great news. Shall I buy a hat? ;)

    Anyway - here's my list......

    Monday - bathroom, study and other grotty places!
    
Level One

    Clean the loo and the bath and the shower and the basins!
    
Level Two

    Declutter floors
    

Extras
    Wrap all the presents for family/friends
    Finalise shopping orders/lists for your christmas food shop.. remember shops are only closed for one day!!!!
    My list
    Menu until 27th
    Iron
    e-mail photos to R&D
    tidy airing cupboard
    sew button on coat
    book dentist
    rota for January, February,
    put carp away in our bedroom
    put carp away in spare room
    put carp away in study
    repair DH trousers

    Friday morning – take H to vets
    Yesterday is history
    Tomorrow is a mystery
    Today is a gift
    That's why we call it 'The Present'

    OH has just informed me that he wants to come over this evening, but is feeling grumpy, has had a crap day, and might be coming down with a cold... do I really want him to come over??

    Some presents wrapped. I have lots of things, but haven't worked out what to give to who. I need to be ruthless and use the stuff from my present drawer and NOT buy anything else!

    Cards pretty much done... at least if OH comes over he can sign the ones he needs to and then I can get them posted. Hopefully I can ignore him for the rest of the time, or make him do the ironing or something...
  • Oh well, didn't get round to today's list.

    The bloke has decluttered a lot of emotional baggage in my face at full volume. Including a lot of rather unpleasant personal insults.

    He then decluttered his clothes into two cases, into his car and drove off.



    I, however, having done a bunch of online shopping last night whilst waiting for the washing machine to finish, have been shopping, bought a bunch of clothes for myself, some Xmas pressies for DD and some general everyday stuff.

    Plus put the tree lights up for DD to decorate it this evening when she gets in (will hopefully distract from his absence).

    Once she is in bed, I shall tidy up the half tub of Phish Food ice cream currently sitting in the freezer, and quite possibly a couple of drinkies, when I cleaned up a second hand beside set of IKEA drawers that someone had put out free to a good home.


    Season's Greetings :)
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.
