Probably won't be on so much...

over the next couple of weeks – I’ve got serious quantities of knitting to do…

oooh – and the yarn I bought to knit my Sockapaloooza socks arrived today from eBay –

I’m thinking perhaps Crusoe, but my recipient wants calf-length socks (apparently ankle length ones give her the heebie jeebies!) and I’m not totally convinced that there’ll be enough yarn.

Anyway, I’m NOT GOING TO START THEM UNTIL AFTER THE OLYMPICS – sorry for the shouting, but sometimes it feels like I’m not listening…

Right, bathtime for little ones, and then I have my maths student this evening – followed by last night’s Despo Housewives (it’s on too late on E4 to watch “live”, so we record it). And some pondering time – do I convert the second sweater to be knitted in the round or not? I’ve done the first one (it’s going to be stripy (stripey? – mind’s gone blank) – so at least I’ve halved the number of ends to weave in!) but I’m not so sure I’ll bother with the second… if it’s not done tonight, it’s not going to happen!

That is 100g of Opal handpainted isn’t it?! That was what I knit Crusoe with when I was at Greenbelt! Beware that that pattern knits up small, I had to cast on more stitches for mine. But, although I only made ankle socks, I had LOADS left over so could have made them a lot longer (I also made myself a pair of fingerless gloves from mine and there’s STILL some left!. Not to distract you from the Olympic knitting or anything!
