Good evening ,
well today has been very quiet thankgod!!!have finally managed to finish my first fully fairisled garment....it took some deep breaths from me,and a few moments where i had to grit my teeth and jump in....but to be honest i was really really pleased with the way things have turned out.....what i found particularly nerve racking was doing the neckline,i found that by recording which row i was at when i started the decrease row so when i went back to do the other side i could reset the row counter and pattern reader....
the past few days have been manic i can tell you!!!
monday morning i had to go to Bury St Edmunds college ...my eldest son who's 14 attends an engineering course there and he loves it!!!!I ended up with a car full of teenage boys...they were funny and entertaining at the same time...some of the things they were talking about...they were worried about what they said to start with as they were worried that they would offend ,but it wasn't anything that i hadn't heard before....i just asked them to watch the swears and we would all get on great...and to their credit they did watch their swears and we had a good journey to bury.....
When i got home i then had time for a quick coffee and then i had to go to the junior school to pay for tom's birthday special....they have a scheme at their school where you can invite upto 15 of his friends and the school provide a special menu,of burgers,pizza,and chicken nuggets all with fries and all you have to do is supply the birthday cake,the fizzy pop and party bags and they effectively have a birthday party at school instead of running mayhem around your house or a village hall which would cost an arm and a leg.....this year will be tom's last one as he's due to go to high school in September...even though he's tiny.....he's still going,am having fun with the high school at the minute as the uniforms don't go small enough.....so i have to try and find a way around that....and then i had to run off to college again to pick up the boys and had an extra one to take home ,but i didn't mind....and then i had time for a rushed tea and get the little ones off to cubs.....the i take two others as well as tom,they stayed at cubs and then scouts as it was their first go at scouts i was a little worried as tom only has one kidney that works...one swift kick in the back and its a donor time......but he's a roughty tuffty boy and doesn't take any stick from anybody.I went and picked them up at 9.30pm and they were full of jabber,,,they couldn't wait to tell me about their activities that they did and the games that they played.....and now the boys are all saying that thy can't wait to go again next week....
I have got two more slipovers to make at the moment.... and can't wait to have a few hours to my self so that i Can get out my knitting machine and make something else....have decided to put two of my fairisled slipovers on e-bay to see how they go....have got another one on the knitting needles at the minute but its a little dark in the living room and need daylight to get on an knit it as the yarn is sooooo fine!!!!
right have got to go,tomorrow we are going to stowmarket to have look at some home brewing equipment,,,,tell you all about that tomorrow........
bye!!!helena.
