Ouch

I was happily doing some gardening over the wekend and cut down loads of spikey branches and rampant rose bushes without the slightest sign of injury. Then on Saturday night I was tidying up some paper and managed to get a deep paper cut across the side of my left thumb and I couldn't knit all weekend. Everytime I pushed the needle back with my left thumb the cut started bleeding and it was most ouchy :-(

So, no progress on the shrug. And now I have less than a week to get the other side done - I think I might run out of time as I need to block it too. It will get finished though as it is Lauren's birthday present and I know that she'll love it.

The moral of the tale? - DON'T DO HOUSEWORK!!!

Off for the weekend

Also just to say that I am going away for the weekend so won't be able to post to the blog but my knitting and lots of extra yarn are coming with me so I will be with you in spirit :-) Wishing everyone well for the Tour de France KAL and hope to see some amazing progress when I get back (from me as well)

I was bad . . .

I meant to really get dowm to some serious knitting last night but somehow things got a bit out of hand and I managed to have a fabuous evening with my friend. However, after a bottle of wine I thought it best to not knit my lacy thing. Well best not to knit anything really. But I was up early this morning so did manage a bit more.
