Yep me too Maggie. On days of zero energy it's nice to just pet some wool isn't it xx

Well the truth is I have not done much knitting since I got back from Malta. I just can't to get going again. I need some good TV programs to watch.

Have you watched Ordinary Lies and The Missing on iplayer nurse Maggie?

I don't think they are my sort of thing. I will have a look. I was behind with a couple of things before I went away and they were all taken off when I got back.

Evening folks

I unravelled about half of my blanket (well, the start of it really... Been about 40 rounds in...) because of a mistake in the pattern... Thought very hard about leaving it as it is but then decided that I will still have to work on it for so long and it would only annoy me each time I see it... It was not a mistaky-mistake but just something which was different on the chart than on the photograph and I like the version on the photograph better, although it would have looked nice the other way round too.

Welcome Katzen! I think you're far better off here than in the flylady thread :-) After all a shiny sink is no requirement for knitting :-)

Mardatha, it is indeed very cruel to have only one ball of yarn, after all they are pack animals! I just hope that there is no rule of how many balls of yarn you can keep together as I would get into trouble for keeping them in crowded conditions... :-)

So, I will now clean the kitchen from the usual cooking mes and then sit down knitting owls. If I'm not too tired since I had a meeting yesterday evening and wasn't home before quarter to eleven and in bed by half past... It is always a joy to have meetings with a couple of guys who rather talk food than business... I often feel like I'm trapped in this old and quite funny short story where a couple of people spend about three pages talking about "sawsidges" and the "dawg" who ate some of them...

Happy knitting!

Instead of getting on with my knitting, I'm drooling over Icelandic wool...

I hope so to considering the bags crammed full of wool I have.

It's just a pity they don't breed when you keep them all together, isn't it? :rotfl:

Thought I'd knitted my gruffalo two left arms today, but a bit of fiddling about has produced one of each, now complete with thumbs and claws. Only 38 more pieces to knit and stitch on
