Snoopy says "You're not as slim as you think you are lady":



This is going to be one tight-fitting sweater!!

This was quite fast going considering I also did some gardening on Saturday and was out all day Sunday. My Sunday outing nearly didn't happen as guess who forgot to change the clocks? I spent nearly an hour cursing my friends who I had agreed to meet at 9am to car-share on a journey to Fife. When I got to the rendevous point at 9:06 (yes, I've a very bad habit of never being on time) they had gone on without me. I couldn't believe they hadn't waited for me so I was cursing them like mad as I tried to catch them up, by my reckoning they were at the most 4 minutes in front of me and I can speed with the best of them. It wasn't until nearly an hour later when the DJ did I time-check that I realised that the clocks had changed and I'd forgotten. What an eejit!

2 sleeves completed (sorry for the appalling photo):

I should really be progressing the Balmoral cardigan but I need to knit the second sleeve before I can continue on the yoke. I couldn't face knitting 3 sleeves in a row so I've started the back of the sleek cabled raglan. I'm using the "lazy bitch" technique in recycling the yarn for this sweater. I've separated all the pieces of the sweater I'm ripping out and am knitting the new sweater directly from the old sweater thus missing out the washing and re-skeining (is that a word) the yarn. This technique works fine if you're going to knit a cabled sweater but if you're knitting stocking stitch the fabric will be crinkly. Most of this will come out when I steam block it and what's left will add some interest to yards of plain stocking stitch. Trust me it'll look alright I've done it before.

Finallygot around to sew back on the poppers onto the Grace jacket (remember back to February when I dicovered after sewing it together that one of the fronts was approx 6 rows longer than the other?)

The front looks skewed in the photo but I think it was the way I was standing 'cos it looks alright in the mirror. I think it needs a good steam pressing after it's been folded up any old way in my workbasket for nearly 2 months. I may just take that top popper off firt as I can't see myself buttoning it up to the top.

Done this twice and came up with the same answer both times:


Darling, it seems that you belong in Gone with the
Wind; the proper place for a romantic. You
belong in a tumultous world of changes and
opportunities, where your independence paves
the road for your survival. It is trying being
both a cynic and a dreamer, no?

Ah yes, below this cynical exterior there's a true romantic trying to break free (hmmm....).
