? Sacrifice time

 

I've been , erm, somewhat unwell, again. I won't go into the detail, you'll be relieved to know, 'cept to say I spent lots of time in the smallest room and needed another visit from the GP. I figure out, therefore, that I have done something to offend the gods. Which ones, though? Do I sacrifice: a few hours knitting ulp! to appease the holiest of then all, the fibre goddess; or that half-finished bar of Green and Black to get on the good side of the chocoholics' supreme deity? Nope. It was the Kitchen God that I offended. Clearly. Everything was fine before I cleaned the cooker. Obviously a certain amount of charcoal and burnt-on grease is the order of the day and I would do well to remember that. Don't worry. I will.

I also have to confess to having had Mr India compete this entry for me, after much ranting gentle persausion from the deathbed sofa that I am expiring recovering on. Hope he does a good job....

I can no longer visit all of my listed fellow-bloggers if I have a spare 10 minutes - the list is growing so much that I am starting to do it in shifts - there is a careful balance to be struck between reading about knitting, blogging about it and actually doing it. I've just added Grumperina, since she seems to be a technical whiz. Hope some of it rubs off on me.

Thought I'd better provide a little proof of the current knitting. Here goes. First up, evidence that I am indeed on Sock Number Two - my picture editing skills do NOT allow me to cut and paste one sock to make two. Believe me.

Next up, Eloise, in Noro Blossom. You probably can't tell, but the close-up is an attempt to show the difference between stocking-stitch and its reverse. I definitely think that this yarn is at its best in the reverse. Wonder if I can persaude Mr India that I need a digital photography course to enhance my blogging? Vote now - it's in the sidebar

I've also remembered to take a shot or two of my latest handspun, before and after making it into a centre-pull ball. It was a bit fiddly, due to the terrible job slight inconsistencies in some of the spinning. Ho hum. Anyway, get voting - it's in the sidebar!
