Contract!

Frances and I are entering into a no yarn buying contract as, between us, we've probably got enough to stock a small shop! I am only allowed to buy ONE skein from the Unicorn Club per month until Iknit weekend in september (a few days before my birthday) and Frances is going to try not to spend any money on yarn for a year!

If one of us gets tempted, we've got to phone the other quickly before our fingers start to itch!

I have loads of yarn for sale!

Have a look

I am open to offers!

Busy week!

On wednesday evening, Frances and I went to see Amber in the school 'Trash 2009' fashion show. It was brilliant and we really enjoyed ourselves. Amber is already thinking about next year's outfit! The kids have to design an outfit using only secondhand clothes and recyclables and all the designs were stunning/ On 1st April we are going to see Ryan in a school fashion show for the prom night where all the outfits are supplied by Moss Bros. It's a showcase to give parents and students an idea of what can be hired for the night (8th May).

On thursday, Frances and I went to our first knitting group at Kngaroo in South Chailey and had a lovely time - we ended up staying all day! Bought some yarn (I've smacked my own writsts) but I needed some to go with some other yarn to make a modular jacket.

Spice Caravan Robe

This is going really well! I have finished the back, one front and have 48 rows left of the second front. I then need to block the pieces, put them togther and do the bands, side bits and sleeves - all garter stitch!

I will then do some more of my Sunset kimono before I start a Bounced Check (Jamiesons Simply Knit) in some stashed yarn - I have had to order some more yarn to go with it though!

However, I am itching to have a go with the Rico Pompom yarn I bought in Tunbridge Wells on monday!

Tomorrow ...

... is Uncle Ed's funeral and I don't know what to wear, what bag to use and whether to take my wHite stick!

I do need to practice a bit with the stick - I was using it in Tunbridge Wells yesterday and David was amazed at how people react to it. It's a bit like the parting of the waves!

Eyes....

I had my four monthly check up yesterday and, although I know I am not seeing so well, everything was fine. The nurse who checked my vision did say that an eye test is not an actual true indicator of how well someone is seeing day to day so..

Dr. Tesha (consultant) is going to write back to my GP and arrange for them to refer me to QVH, a more local hospital, for the Low Vision Clinic so that I can get there myself and not have a major problem with finiding someone (David or, possibly dad) to take me, so I shall wait with baited breath!

Mum

I can't believe it's two years since you left us. You are always in my thoughts and I miss you more every day. I love you with all my heart xx
