Finished

I'm feeling quite accomplished now, they took me well over a week to do, but it's the first time i've knitted on circular needles and there were a couple of techniques involved i'd not even heard of let alone tried! So woo hoo, I will have one very psychadelic wooly clad bibble come winter!

In other news, said bibble and I made our way on the train down to Nottingham on friday to meet up with some fellow MumsOnliners. We had a really fabby day, it was lovely putting faces to names at last, and meeting the knitting queen herself Sarah! She even gave me an impromptu lesson on short rows with wraps on a picnic rug in the grounds of Nottingham castle, what a star! She also came bearing woolies! 1kg of lovely BFL to play with when my extra koolaid arrives, and 3 completely gorgeous snuggly hemp Stuffie Nappies and wipes purse and matching wet bag made by the very talented Lottie. If you don't own a Stuffie nappy or seven then you should definately get some now!!!!

Thomas came back from his little trip away with Stu's parents a very happy camper (well caravaner technically but lets not split hairs) having spent much time swimming and generally running amok. Thinking we might escape to a caravan park when the summer holidays are over and its a bit less busy.

Took the number one son to the cinema for the first time on sunday, how much fun was that! Kerchowwwww! (we saw Cars in case you can't tell ;) )

What to knit now I wonder...... well actually the next project is a crochet one, not very well practiced at crochet so that could be interesting! But anyway, before that i've got an assignment to do for my OU creative writing course. It's autobiography / biography this time, so i'm wondering if I can explore some of the less happy clappy chirpy side to myself, a.k.a the bit surpressed by prescription drugs ;). Not quite sure how i'd work something like that though so we'll see!
