In the meantime, I need to update this bleergh, otherwise, it will rapidly descend into just that. I'm trying!
I named these mitten's 'Santa's Poinsettias', becos I am clearly such a green thumb. As it were, I forgot to make one thumb on the right mitten, and freaked out very badly - until I discovered the 'afterthought' thumb technique, which involves a lot of closing your eyes, screaming and a pair of scissors (in my case anyway). I also ran out of yarn, which was a minor disaster because it meant I had to raid Klaus' mum's yarn stash; this made me feel very guilty - who knows what kind of knitting karma is gonna hit me next.
Last week, I finished a Feather and Fan shawl, hereby named 'My girlfriend is a witch'. We heard this song playing at a shop and Klaus thought it would be hilarious to keep singing it to me, especially when I'm grumpy. He was thrilled to discover I was knitting a shawl of all things; my girlfriend is a witch my girlfriend is a witch! And so it goes.
I'm currently working on a long black cardigan that will hopefully swallow me up and protect me from this freezing cold flat. I'm ordering some polymer clay buttons from Folksy; something very utilitarian and hobbycraftish about them that I like.
