Gormless.















Hopeful.



















Love.

He's ducked out for a smoko, and he'll be back later on -















Can you see the coins on the edge of the table?
Why I like my housemate -















How could I not like someone who thinks this is as good an idea as I do?

Not Knitting -

So, realistically, there is not going to be any knitting content for a while. Several weeks. Come back in a month if you don't like graffiti and stuff.

If at first -

So my next post was going to be about my most (well, second most, well, third most) favourite thing I bought in Canada. I have been reading this book in bed, hanging out for a chance to have a go at all the techniques, but have lacked sufficient time and brain-power to manage it. Maybe next weekend, or the one after. There are also a few WiPs that need attention.















Instead, I present, for your amusement, our cake. It was pretty full already when we put it in the oven... and I guess we did too good a job at the whisking and keeping it all light and airy.














I might pop 'larger cake tin' on the next shopping list. We will try this puppy again.

Keeping track -















Elbow to last joint of little finger long, half of it elbow to last joint of little finger wide. Woven, seam halfway of folded length (under arms), seam half way of length (up back).

Possible stitches: sand stitch, TKPp12; three and one pattern, TKPp94, too dense?; woven transverse herringbone, TKPp96, to 'busy'?; fabric stitch, TKPp99, I notice myself being drawn towards things that read 'makes a thick, dense fabric calculated to keep the wearer warm'; dragon skin, 2TKPp136

Slippers: double stockingette, 2TKPp133.
