Cabled and unenabled
Someone else in the world apart from Aunty Captain Mrs Archer and Pauline and me likes Star Wars and Dr Who. I am in as much of a frenzy as it is possible for me to be!!! I had road to hell intentions of walking the Labradors and it is a lovely day but I am not feeling well . I am , however, multi-tasking, nonetheless:
· I am transferring a friend’s wedding video onto a DVD for her.
· I am knitting ACMA’s birthday jumper.
· I am trying to read a book – the new Artemis Fowl.
· I am playing with Harki and trying to encourage her to nap after an hour of throwing the squeaky toy.
· I am doing washing.
· I am listening to the radio.
· I am checking blogs, email etc on the internet
· I have rearranged my house & contents insurance.
· I have rung the GardyGardeners re no morning tea on Wednesday as there is the dinosaur excursion!!!
I ended up deleting all of the above and making into dot points as it looks much more impressive. I can’t imagine what I would do if I felt well. This is mostly passive stuff, all able to be completed with a slight headache etc. I think I will resort to drugs soon if it doesn’t go away.
John Howard just commented on the news about the ‘hunchback’ whales being killed by the Japanese!! I’ll bet they were all called Quasimodo!!!
I have 14 rows to go before I start the cabled portion of the Fibonacci jumper. In my house, even as a child, all cable needles are made from broken real knitting needles. Did you know that you can buy proper cable needles, which have an indentation, a dippy ‘V’ shape in the middle to hold your stitches and stop them from slipping off? Ah the wonders of new technology. I don’t have one of these. I have found a braided cable. I wonder if I can do it over 140 stitches? No, I think I will do one with no purls, and a cable Right, then Left on alternating rows. It makes a good pattern with no purls to affect the colour changes.
I have managed to wedge my book between the slightly open draw and the top of the desk so I can knit and read at the same time!!!.
