So, how did I do?

Let's review those weekend knitting goals:

1.    Wrist warmers for my sister in Kureyon

2.    Hat for Toby's brother's girlfriend in Plaid

3.    Rockstar Junior for Josie

4.    Finish Sock 2 of Toby's socks

Not too bad, if I do say so myself.  This was taken at midday today, as the hat had to be given to the recipient this afternoon.  This was duly done and it was received with thanks.  The wrist warmers are done and will be winging their way to Cambridge tomorrow.  My sister finished her PhD at Cambridge in the summer.  During her years of study and since her graduation, she has put all her academic skills to work - on a cheese stall in the market.  Only Cambridge could have a cheese stall that is staffed almost entirely by people holding a doctorate.  Anyway, the wrist warmers will come in handy during those cold 6am setups.

Rockstar Junior is coming along.  It is knit in a mixture of Rowan 4 ply soft and Wendy, 'I'm 100% acrylic and I'm proud of it', fluffy stuff that I can't remember the name of.  Not quite Koigu and Norwegian eyelash, but Josie likes it.

I've done more of Toby's sock since the photo was taken.  I'm ready to start the short row heel.  I'm not sure I'll do it tonight as I'm feeling pretty grumpy, having had one of those phone conversations with Toby that goes something like:

'Where are you?  You said you wouldn't be long.'

'Oh, I was just going to call you, we're thinking of going on to another pub'.

Cue further comments like, 'You could have called me 2 hours ago to let me know that' and, 'You don't mind, do you?'.

Hmm.  Sometimes I think mobile phones are more trouble than they are worth.  I do mind actually, as I spent Friday night in on my own too, but there you go.  Oh well, more knitting time for me.

Ive been thinking about moving to Typepad too. How are you finding it? Is there a European website I can visit to read up on it or is the USA the nearest?

It's great isn't it, when you accomplish a lot of little FOs. I've spent the evening working on a 4ply top, and I can't believe that I've only knitted about 4cm!

I'll be in the same boat as you tomorrow - Chris is off out with an old mate pubbing it in twickenham. Means I can watch my rubbish films. Just hope he makes the late train without any mishaps!

As the recipient of the wrist warmers I can confirm that they are lovely, and really too good to be worn while setting up a market stall. I'm hoping the rumours that they are "big in Shoreditch" are, in fact, true so we can become both the hippest and most highly(over?)qualified stall in town...
