No knitting has been done yet today but Im up to the armholes of Giacs TT. Im going to get him a little pair of jeans and a polo shirt to wear it with. Hope to get a photo of "the boy" wearing his outfit. Ive ordered an Electronic Row Counter and am waiting impatiently(!) for it to be delivered. Is it just me or do other people seem to lose count of everything as they get older??
I seem to have developed the dreaded Notebook Syndrome, and cant seem to remember a damn thing unless I write it down. Mind you, when Im making a note of Row counts I then forget whether Ive written them down or not!!. You cant win, can you?.
Probably, when I get the Electronic one, I`ll forget to press the button!. They says it makes a beeping noise when you press it, so maybe that will help. Ive also ordered a Row Marker that keeps your place in a pattern coz Im good at forgetting that too!!. My brain seems to be in a permanent state of "Fog" these days. Surely, I cant be the only one?(Can I???)
Life and Roy Orbison
I had to go into town today and good old Woolies were having a Sale. Managed to get some CDs and a DVD for very little pennies. There was a compilation of Roy`s Greatest Hits and I couldnt resist!!. Also got Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield(Remember that??) and gorgeous Marti Pellow singing The Wets Greatest Hits too. These are all to be played at Mega-Blast level on my headphones. Im often to be spotted sporting huge Headphones and singing at the top of my(awful) voice whilst hanging out the washing!! The neighbours have stopped giving me funny looks and mouth "Good Morning" coz they know I cant hear a word they are saying!!. Music is a passion of mine and I love everything from Classical to Maroon Five. Fred, my African Grey Parrot also loves music, and dances when something he likes is played. (He can whistle "How much is that doggy in the window and barks in the right places too!. Very musical bird!.)
Im very much looking forward to Iknit in London in September, and have booked my ticket already. Im saving my pennies so that I can do a bit of Stash Enhancement and see the Yarn Harlot too. Some of my very good friends(Ruth and Orysia) are going and Im hoping to meet up with them for some knitterly chat. We all belong to www.stitchlinks.com and I think there will be others there too.
For all you nature lovers out there, we have a Blackbird and his Missus nesting in my hubbys Bike garage. We now have 3 baby blackbirds with feathers and big beaks. Mum and Dad spend all day, from dawn to dusk finding them things to eat. Even though I have 4 cats, they are cautious but not put off. Why they chose such an exposed place I have no idea, but we love it. The way they have reared their babies is nothing short of amazing. Well Done Mr and Mrs Black, I say!!!
Anyway, thats it till next time. Im going to try to upload a photo tonight so you may be able to have a look if I can figure it out(Dont hold your breath.............)
