Home again. Christmas is over. We went to O’s parents’ place for four nights. Already done two loads of laundry today. Need to get the cigarette smoke smell out. Also, their shower wasn’t working so washing my hair was no #1 on my to-do list when we got home. Felt a lot better afterwards. [...]
It snowed again today. A lot (relatively speaking of course).
We ventured out to Lidl today to buy some food so that I don’t have to go out and buy lunch next week at work. We usually order online from Asda, but all of the delivery slots were full. ALL of them until Dec 29th. Anyway, [...]
Gosh it’s been awhile hasn’t it?
Well, I’ve got a few bits of news to share.
Numero uno: I have a job! I’m in Accounts at a major solicitors firm over here. It’s a temp job through an agency, but they’ve already asked if I can come back in January so it seems to be going very [...]
Working 9-5 + Christmas knitting to be done = no time to blog.
Will be back once insanity has let up a bit.
I just got my first Sip’n’Stitch package. It’s awesome. Love the yarn (Luxe base: 75/25 sw merino/tussah silk)! The color will most likely grow on me. I’m not usually a fan of browns, but the gold in this is just so pretty. And that’s also a part of the fun of being in a club: [...]
Hear that? That is the sound of my life going back to normal. The drama llama is gone.
Long story short, she sent me text saying she’s never speaking to me again. Fine by me. That gave me the push to finally remove her from my Facebook friends, and from Twitter and to block her on [...]
Not much new on the knitting front.
Mostly working on secret projects, so can’t talk about those.
Cast on the Lorelei cardigan from Twist Collective (Fall 2009) this morning. Have done four rows on it, but then the secret projects needed my attention again.
I’ve decided to frog my Fifi 2 scarf (link is to my Rav page). [...]
So what’ve I done today?
- A load of laundry washed & dried
- The dishes
- Cleaned the bathroom
- Tidied the bedroom
- Sorted summer clothes into a storage bin and took out winter clothes
- Cleaned the kitchen
- Tidied the living room (did most of that yesterday, but had a few things left over to put away)
And listened [...]
This is 98g/212 yds of squishy goodness. ^_^
So the Sheffield Wool and Textiles Craft Fair was this weekend. I went on both days and this is what I came back with.
That’s a hank of alpaca (90/10 alpaca/nylon), a hank of Gothic Yarns in Lost Innocence, 100g of Shetland in Humbug and a niddy noddy. Never had a niddy noddy before. Can’t wait [...]
