Time for ....

(My new Kitchen clock - looks like a pizza board!)

a few more repeats of the Yucca Chart in the Aeolian Shawl .

Now I have got my rhythm with the knitting and bead attaching , finally enjoying this knit .

The beads are not quite uniform , but given they were a job lot for a few pounds , I think they look great . And there will be 2250 beads attached by the time I am finished , phew!

Have my good pal Seona to thank for this Knit - A - Long (madness) , and of course in a moment of weakness , I joined in .

AND agreed to knit the large size shawl , which is done in lace - weight yarn and on 3mm needles - I have completely lost leave of my senses!

If that's not enough , I am itching to cast on for Karise - Karies' new shawl pattern knitted in OMA yarn - and I have the yarn too -- oooooo.

I could blame this all on housework avoidance , but its just another case of severe startitis .

I am also about to add another "craft" to my skills (fingers crossed), I have a Crochet class on Saturday at Once a Sheep yarn store . This is a craft I have never quite gelled with , but would love to learn it properly . My Grandmother and Great Grandmother were beautiful crocheters , a gene I did not inherit. Hopefully Saturdays' class will remedy that .

There is a (not so) small boy bothering me for his laptop and camera , and he won't go away .

Could've sworn these belonged to me at one time.
