I was pretty disappointed that I couldn't get to knitting, so I cast on for the sleeves, I finished the sleeves last night and was going to start on the pants, but as it was late I went to bed instead. Today is an accrued leave day off for me, so what do I do when I first get up, I eat breakfast, then sit on the lounge and rip back the front pattern again. I was going to do a big heart pattern, then I had another look at the picture, looked at the pattern and 'lights on' I figured it out. So 2 hours later I am still on the lounge in my p.j's and have finished the 44 rows of pattern, yahoo.... and it looks very pretty.
My plan for today was to get into DH's wardrobe and have a big, big, big cleanout while he is at work. So I will post here then try and figure out how to add this knit to Ravelry and then go put some dye in my hair and start on that wardrobe. Later today I will try and get the front of the jumper done, then I can start on the hood.
On Tuesday because we had water coming under the front door from the rain hitting it all night, then it was soaking through the floor boards onto the ceiling below which I might add is fairly new gyprock and freshly painted, bugger, it is now water stained. But I don't think many people escaped some kind of water drama over the last few days around here, I had to take the day off work to keep mopping up water. As the rained eased off a bit in the afternoon #1 son and daughter in-law convinced me to come along with them to the ultrasound. It is only the 13 week ultrasound, but I was so excited to see the baby, the next one is in March at 19 weeks, they are hoping to be able to find out if it is a boy or girl then, I can't wait, I will be at 'CR&K Daisy Design' at Fairy Meadow (Daisy Street) getting the appropriate colour.

We missed you on tuesday night, thought though it was toooo wet and you have so far to come. Knitting looks great, so does new sewing machine.
We did miss you on Tues night.
You know I really admire the relationship you have with your son and his girlfriend. There aren't a lot of mother-in-law's who would be invited to the first ultrasound, she must really love you.
Then again, what's not to love?
It's such a shame when new stuff gets damaged. I'm not sure whether to be glad you got the rain or not. I know there are lots of areas still badly in need but enough is enough.
Glad you got the pattern sorted. I find that sometimes it is good to put things down and leave them for a while so that you start without your mindset interferring.
Cheers Gillian
I love the colour you are using, you could have emailed me, but I am glad that you worked it out, I think sometimes going away and coming back is the only way to really learn something that is bugging you. There are some difficult things in that pattern, but it is worth it in the end.
So exciting about the baby!!!!! you must be beside yourself with excitement.
We have had lots of rain and some floods too. A bit scary. Don't you hate it when that happens with a pattern?? A good night's sleep obviously did the trick!!
