Bendi! Apron!
July 15, 2005
This weekend I am going to bendigo for the sheep show! It is going to be freezing and possibly muddy so I've dragged my doc martens out of the cupboard and worn them to work today (to wear them back in) and I feel way cool.
I have some yarn to pick up from Amanda also, the brown sheep lambs pride bulky i bought for simply marilyn and the cotton fleece i bought for.. i bought for.. well i bought it anyway. Plus I've got all my handpainted stuff that just arrives, and just over $100 in the craft fund, so I will not be spending too much let me assure you!
However I do have plans to pick up a ball or two of jo sharp aran tweed, possibly some yarn for a reaaly nice pair of legwarmers, and some yarn for my first pair of socks.
I am going to give myself a budget for the day of $70 including food and yarn so we'll see how I go. In the car on the way I'll hopefully be able to knit (note to self, take your travel sickness tablets in the morn) - will take along bloom and the corkscrew scarf which I knit a wee bit more on last night.
Of late I have been reading and chilling a lot more than knitting on weekday evenings rather than knitting - which is ok though it has slowed my progress a bit. However I have read about a million books in the last few weeks and have been meaning to post what I've been reading! must get to that.
The most exciting thing to happen this weekend will be the first episode of season two of battlestar galactica! hooray! It has been a long wait.. It is one of my favourite shows.
That will be Saturday night.. Then Sunday I'm going to see Sin City in the morning, then grocery shopping, cooking, washing, the usual! And squeeze in a bit of knitting hopefully.
However I have wednesday and thursday off next week to get some serious organizing done so will also be engaging in a bit of (my favourite)... list making!
In other news.. there's been quite a lot of apron talk going on over the web, and I've only seen a couple that have really made me want to go and get an apron, but how is this for fabulous?? Some people's talents really know no bounds!
