So what do you do when you find yourself with an afternoon on the weekend that you have promised NOT to spend working???
Hobbies of course.. but then there’s that question of what to work on, you look over your goals for the month, and well they all seemed so achievable when you wrote them down… but now , well, nothing is on that list that you want to work on.

It’s time for a new start!!

I know, I can hear you screaming “but the list!!, The plan!!” It’s okay I did manage to keep things under control somewhat.. the new start was form my list of planned starts so it still counts to ward my overall goals… just not the ones for this month :p

So with a few hours to spare on Saturday afternoon / evening I started y Letter ‘A’ by Nora Corbet and wow! these designs stitch up fast.. just under 50%ish in one days stitching, that is a project time line I can get used to.
She is stitched 2×2 on 32ct opalescent linen from stitches and spice, the colour, well I can’t remember that at the moment but I know the label is around here somewhere. The threads are all as specified in the design, I was too lazy to substitute for this one.

I still need to pick up the beads.. oh so many beads.. but she shouldn’t keep me from my other goals for too long.

Oh and did I mention 3 days to go until I’m free *bounce, squee, bounce*

It seems the project I chose to keep me occupied until the wool for the Dr Who scarf arrived may be over sooner than I thought. I did a little knitting during lunch today which is unusual but the picture show where I am at… 14 rows in on a 30 row pattern (not including the 5cm of rib).

At this rate I will have finished the pair before the week is out and there is no way my yarn will be here by then… Woops
Maybe I will include a rib scarf and make a set.

** Apologies for the crappy iphone photo but I was amused enough after lunch to want to share my discovery straight away… besides after the train ride home tonight I could be another 5 rows or more along in the pattern.
