sigh, i am so tired of reading about it on everyone’s blogs and not being a part of the party – i guess me and the other 20,000 people.  oh well.  it seems like it will be another THREE weeks as the current update is 1200 a week… so waiting goes on (but i am ohsonot a patient person).

2. For this kit   —->

yes in THAT color – yes its yummy and also in the package another skein of beautiful yarn.

3. a goodie package from Elann
– a couple of skeins of the new Lace Merino and a bunch of Addi Lace Turbo Needles ( CANT WAIT FOR THESE) and some color cards of some of my favourite Elann yarns.

So what to do while waiting?

well, knit of course – nearing the end of Shetland Garden Faroese Shawl – only TWO pattern rows left … fingers crossed that there is enough yarn to finish this.

Also picked CeCe up tonight – started it sometime ago this summer and suddenly have a yearn for a red sweater – this is being knit in a gorgeous red Classic Elite Provence yarn.  Have about 5–6 inches so far.

Also last night started work on the thistle lace shawl design – first design for thistle pattern is a NO GO.  Swatched it and its WAY to big for a lace pattern – but learned a lot – so back to the drawing board (or rather, Knitvisualizer), after a long sleep last night have a couple of ideas to try out. 

But first a date with this DVD –  “Ruth Madoc, Jean Marsh, Colin Buchanan and Michael Byrne star in this thriller based on novelist Agatha Christie's work. Writer Mark Easterbrook has a vested interest in solving the murder of a priest. That's because Mark himself is under suspicion. But to save his reputation and put the real killer behind bars, he'll have to go through a mysterious list of names that's suddenly turned up and may hold the key to the murderer's identity.”
