Where people often meet

Well, that turned into a bit of a longer break than anticipated.

I am surfacing from a couple of manically busy weeks at work, with not an awful lot to tell you really.

Holidays seem like such a long time ago.  Our week in Cornwall was a bit too much of this type of weather

and not enough of this

It wouldn't have been so bad, but we were camping and spending every evening in a tent in the rain gets a bit wearing.  I think next year we'll go for the cottage option.

Dorset on the other hand, was gloriously sunny.  However, the only photos I have are of the children at the beach and I'm not keen to put up pictures of them in their swimsuits all over the internet, so you'll have to take my word for it.

So now we're back at school and work and I've been able to start thinking about a little knitting.  I haven't had a chance to look through the new knitting magazines in too much detail, but have totally fallen in love with the Tangled Yoke cardigan from the new IK.  So much so, that in what is a very unusual move from me, I've even ordered the yarn from my LYS in Taunton - I'm going for a dark brown version.

I'm going to try and look through Vogue and the new Rowan this evening and see if anything else catches my eye.  Any suggestions?

I love Tangled Yolk so will look out for your progress. Welcome back!

I've barely looked at my magazines. I like the front cover of IK but am wary of it gaping a little. There's a tangled yoke group on ravelry, you'll be pleased to know.

Lots of good stuff in the new Rowan. How about Neaty?

Welcome back! I wondered how you were all getting on. I fancy the cover one on IK - where Rowan is concerned I have seen Earth Shawl - beautiful colours - and have tried on Narvik - I thought it a bit short in the waist, but very wearable. Several of us went to Sheelagh's Yarn House last Saturday, that's where I saw these beauties.

Camping in the rain is so, so hard. I think a cottage next year is a splendid idea!

I haven't even picked up any of the new knitting magazines- I have been real busy at work as well. But I have looked through a couple back issues and found a pair of knee socks from last fall's Rowan that I am going to knit!

Oh, I am not a happy camper. Ever. I hate and detest camping with a vengeance, but I love bushwalking etc, as long as I can come home the same day!! I am glad that it was nice at Dorset!!! I am hoping the new IK will be at the newsagent's tomorrow. How exciting that you are so inspired!!

We're off to St Ives in just over a week. Though staying in our usual property ;)

I haven't been to the LYS in Taunton for ages. Presume you mean the one on the main road. Mind you, now I have Get Knitted 45 mins away, I don't need to go anywhere else!
