Isn't this rain just wonderful, we have had a full day and night of rain, good soaking rain and it is falling in the catchment area.
I am nearly finished the back of the "Lucky" lace wrap top, photos to come.
Stitch N Bitch on Saturday was great, we sat around chatting, knitting, checking out other people's knitting, and books that some had brought in. Sipping cocktails (Strawberry Whisper) - yummy, while sitting around with so many great people and knitting....just great! I was good I resisted the desserts, I am determined to atleast start to lose some weight, we will be walking again tonight (weather permitting).
Donni had a few projects going, the Knitpicks (I wish Knitpicks sold to Australia) sock yarn in red and green, she is so clever knitting them together on 2 circulars, and the clapy she is doing in brown and blue, it looks great, these two colours are so IN.
Ailsa with her Mystery Shawl and the Corset top - it is just so lovely, she is doing it in her own handspun and dyed yarn, another clever chick. Oh to be so multi-talented.
Jussi was doing the stripy tiger socks, they are so nice in those colours.
I keep feeling as if I need to start on my parents blankets for christmas, but I am trying hard to resist and just do one project at a time, and as I need to finish "Lucky" by 12 December I will keep that going alone, then start the blankets.
55 days till Christmas Day, so I will give myself 50 days to finish all projects, that makes it 20 December to be all done. That way when I finish work for my holidays on Thursday 22 December, I will have a few days to potter around getting things ready for Christmas Day, like clean the barby, get the chairs out, and the old doors and trestles (these make great long tables), you know the stuff, running around like a chook with its head cut off trying to make sure everything is done and how I want it.

Hello?! Jussi and I were sitting watching you knit your lovely green number without even looking at it and we were amazed at how clever you were - so - mutual admiration society.
Yeah I agree with what Donni says.
