At home again today. This being ill thing is getting a bit boring. It's reached that stage where I'm too ill to go to work, but am well enough to feel bored and restless at home all day.
Toby decided to be very kind to me last night and sleep in the living room so as not to disturb me. The fact that he felt the need to come and wake me up to tell me this at 3am should not detract from the sentiments behind the gesture. Yes, I think he had been drinking.
No knitting as yet today. I have been ripping instead. Carrying on the with Feb Fix-it theme, I took a long hard look at Klaralund and decided it was not to be. I don't know what I was thinking when I bought this colourway of Silk Garden (204 in case you were wondering) as the colours don't suit me at all.
One cup of coffee later, it was all over.
Except for a quick bath.
'So what's the plan?', I hear you cry. Well, the 8 balls I haven't used have been retired to the stash chest while I contemplate their future. With the ripped back yarn, I'm thinking about doing a Buttonhole Bag (link to pdf file of pattern is in right-hand sidebar).
Look out for felting fun at the Wool Palace, coming soon!
You are a good girl. It's so weird how sometimes we are drawn to a colour and after putting in so much hard work, put it on to find yuck. I've done it so many times now. I found myself in my lys the other day, holding up a ball of yarn to my face whilst looking in a tiny mirror only big enough to show my nose, just to see if the colour was me or not. I'm sure the felting will be great fun though!

Oh, such a shame to rip out all that lovely Silk Garden. Let me know if you want to trade it for something, I think its a beautiful colourway and I've been thinking about Silk garden for a while now..

You are brave! I'm not sure how silk garden felts - I know that kureyon does, how does the silk affect the felting? Aren't men considerate? When I had a cold a few weeks ago, I realised (took me a few days to notice) that chris was holding his breath every time I went close to him.

Hi Mary
Thanks for visiting my blog. How are you finding typepad? What made you move?
I also have a jumper in the cupboard waiting to be ripped up and enjoy a new life as something. It is beige Wool Cotton and the jumper belongs to my husband. I think he only wore it twice.
Have fun looking at all the patterns. I think the choosing is also great fun.
