I have just acquired a jumbo wool winder from Ashford. They are a "while stocks last" item so I was lucky that there was one available. It will be posted off to me tomorrow from New Zealand so the pink thing I am knitting will have to wait as I am almost at the end of the ball and I have three more skeins of the sheep/Samoyed yarn ... not to mention the stuff I spun from Terry's fleece which is still unwashed. I have already picked out a jumper pattern for that.
I have also found a forum on Ravelry devoted exclusively to E.Roberta. It seems that they have been available for many years but with leather bearings and no pause pedal. I'm glad that I waited ...
I had my last Intermediate Yoga class last night and will probably enroll for the next one, mainly because by paying in advance I actually make the time to go instead of making excuses and it is not as crowded as the drop-in sessions are. I do yoga from DVDs most evenings and am therefore ahead of the class with some of the poses but my balance is dreadful and I still can't do the Tree Pose.
The kittens are both molting and Poppy will only accept a very cursory brushing; Parsifal rolls around in ecstasy and hasn't a hair out of place, but his tummy is still bald from his last ultrasound.
I am still struggling to read The Stalking of Julia Gillard and that is the reason for all this untimely activity in the crafts department. I am actually knitting and listening to music instead of reading, watching TV or playing computer games so the book has merit after all.
Bring on the election!! It is a right pain in the ****.
