The world is my oyster...


So I finally got a design on Ravelry to celebrate my 3rd Raviversary. By coincidence, the same week that Ravelry got its millionth user. Wow. I can make a design and by the power and wonder that is t'internet, it can be available to a million other fibre freaks. I don't have a word to describe that, very very exciting doesn't come close. The next pattern is in progress, the charts are done but the instructions need writing and the whole thing test-knitting and photographing. Meanwhile there are socks to be knit for Purl City. Apparently the first pair is on display, but I didn't get to go and see them despite being in Manchester today. The crowds and noise and horrid flashy lights got too much so we came home early. And I didn't get to bring new boots with me, but they are on order so my feet may be dry this week after all. If they fit...

In between there is a seemingly endless string (no pun intended) of cotton bibs, Christmas decorations and the small matter of a Choral Concert. Oh, and the Christmas shopping...
