Happy times, Also managed to nearly finish the first of the pair of the cotton reel mittens today i just have abit of ribbing and the thumb and then i’m done,  And onto the second!

Loneliest day of 2009

Thats right I’m going to grumble a bit, not much though i’ll keep it to bare minimum. It’s felt like a very lonely day for me, i woke up and went to the coffee shop alone went to work for 6 hours and worked in the shop alone to get back to home to be alone, my partner as gone to work and will be visiting a friend after for music making, and I’m having one of those days where i need a bit of company. I shall survive through the evening of dullness.

Anyways rather than peeving you all off I’ll lighten up a little, I had my knitting group yesterday which was great i got a preview of the new knitter magazine and yarn forward which i love a friend at my group subscribes and gets it early so we get to have a long gander.  She also showed me some of her new purchases while she visited London she went to the Iknit shop and the yarn was beautiful ( hint of jealousy) lol!!

News on my cable scarf pattern as well i finally figured out twisted stitches, so the scarf is finally making progress with no problems just yet but we shall have to wait and see as there plenty more pattern to go before i can be happy. I’m still very sorry no photos can be shown just yet of my progress as i’m hoping to submit it and get it published in a magazine. once it’s accepted i’ll post a selection of progression photos for you.

I’m now going to pop on a film and knit away my boredom so you’ll hear from me soon xx
