Never Not Knitting
Whoah! Suddenly I have shedloads to knit for people, myself included, and it's gone Christmas. I have more things that need knitting than I have time to do them. OTN I have a pair of socks for a mini-swap on Ravelry, and I need to knit some Earl Grey Green for knirirr... I've also been trying to find vest patterns, as I'm discovering layering a knitted ( Read more... ) -

So, not Paterson Joseph, then. Bugger.
Sounds as though it might be Russell Tovey...
ETA : someone called Matt Smith, then. Hum. He's got a job and a half to do, hasn't he? Bit young, but I guess we'll see.
I wish it had been the Marquis de Carabas, though. -
Got the urge for going
We went out to Kenilworth Castle today, on the back of getting a voucher for a 2-for-the-price-of-one entrance to English Heritage properties from a packet of beef mince. It was Bloody. Cold. Kenilworth is mainly ruined, thanks to the iconoclasts of the Civil War 'slighting' it (that is, knocking it down deliberately so that it couldn't be used ( Read more... ) -

First Creme Egg advert sighting.
Just after an ad for some car advertising "Less Emissions, not less style." We will not be buying that when we come to buy a new car. (if I can find out what it is, I was so incensed at the strapline I failed to pay attention to the brand.) -
Very glad to be home
We are indeed. Though it's a bit cold, and we may need two hot water bottles tonight.
The afternoon also included coffee and cake chez white_hart, who makes the best lemon drizzle ever. It was excellent to see lslaw again; white_hart and I started talking Knitting at one point, which confused the hell out of everyone else ( Read more... ) -
*freezes*
Ok, I give up. I'm queueing Calorimetry. No good for outside for me, but I think it'll do to keep my bonce warm indoors.
I swear, it's warmer outside than it is in here. -
Look ma, no cable needle!
Foof. Probably a rash undertaking, but I am knitting some Baroque socks for my MIL's 60th birthday do. The reasoning being, she knits loads of socks, but almost always gives them away because someone has said "oo, those are nice" whilst she's been knitting them, so she has very few pairs of knitted socks. Of course, I'm panicking that these won' ( Read more... ) -
I are geek
One of our readers with whom I am quite friendly, but don't see very often, came in.
I recognised her jumper as one she must have made, because I recognised the pattern from a previous Interweave Knits, the Gathered Pullover. I think she was impressed.
I am such a geek... -
Oh dear, sockitude
Well, knirirr has been antsing after a sock with "a tight pipe*" for a while. When Sock Knitters' Anonymous September mystery sock theme was "orange", it seemed the perfect opportunity.
And it is a very tight pipe.
We could barely get it on. And it is even harded to get off.
Woe.
On the plus side, knirirr did some lovely honey and sesame seed glazed sausages ( Read more... )
