Sibling rivalry shelved

The truce lasted for the duration of The Circle Of Life!

Burns Cup Winner, 2010

For a limited time only....

4 double - pointed needles

I think not! Café, gâteau, tricot chez Cathy confirmed that only the most foolhardy attempt to knit with four needles, and as for eschewing double knitting in favour of wire and beads....

Spoilt for choice

Am happy to report that the bootee obsession is now a thing of the past. However, knitting isn't. Spent Saturday afternoon learning how to knit a daisy and have a long way to go before Petra Poodle is ready to make an appearance.

Happy day!

E & S think it's VERY uncool to publicise my age like this. And they're right. But how else am I going to remember?

Happy Birthday, Elizabeth!

Card en route to Aberdeen. Have a lovely day.

Happy Mothers' Day!

Late again with the card itself but here it is for you to view, courtesy of the internet! It will be winging its way to you very soon. After much debate, we've gone with Eil's choice of position for the apostrophe.

University Challenge

Another great edition featuring Edinburgh Uni - entertaining right to the gong.
Failed AGAIN to record Raymond Blanc- voilà......pas très bien!

Chicly shod chien...

This is tonight's experiment- can't decide whether it's worth the effort to knit the other one because it's SOOO difficult to sew up.

les petits chaussons de Milou

Nothing but the best for Milou: 100% organic merino wool! Bootee-knitting is proving addictive: thanks to Cathy for an easy pattern even I can manage.

Stormont and my scarf

Here I am with my big sister, my newly finished scarf, and Stormont in the background.

Carson says 'No!' to mobile phones.

Proof as requested.

My first bootee takes shape in the cinema on board the Stena Ferry, en route from Stranraer to Belfast.

Springtime in Paris

So much for the big thaw. Damp, wet snow on and off all day but most of it has gone already. Roll on the spring.

Do you think they were expecting snow on the moon?
