Needling away

It has been irking me that I haven't been to knitting group for three weeks.  I've been too busy being mental (both mental busy with the stall and mentally unstable, la la la la la) So I'm going this morning.  Despite the fact it's such a horrible grey day I don't want to leave the house, but STBXH is here all day now and so it's probably better to be out. 

I think that I have moved on a little - past shock and denial into anger.  I'm cross with the entire world, or "wagin' " as I used to say when I was little and couldn't pronounce my Rs.  What comes next?  Apart from the Alcohol and Chocolate stage.

Three signs that I should return to knitting:

1. A very sweet email from an extremely talented uber-blogger who's a mainstay of our group, which reminded me that although I am newish to the meet, nobody gossips about any of the other members which is true.  I have nothing to be afraid of but blubbing in public, and eh, where's the shame as long as you have tissues and don't need to use your sleeve.
2. An email from Fabrications, about the relaunch of the Hagedashery following refurbishments.  It's a wonderful wee emporium in Broadway Market, and they are running their knitting classes again on Sunday 10th and Sunday 17th December from 2-4pm, suitable for complete beginners or the more experienced.  Barley Massey and Sue Russell of Wool N Boat are teaching - I'm tempted to go along to knit on those massive needles again!
3. And then, though I don't actually remember signing up for it, an email arrived from Catirina Bonet, a knitwear designer.  I'm not sure I'm going to knit either of this projects - but they made me smile!  They are doing a special offer at the moment - buy one pattern and get one to gift...

I hope you had a good time at your knitting group - a much more productive and beneficial drug than alcohol or chocolate. Glad the Sisters were so good too.

aren't chocolate martinis a great idea? Alcohol and chocolate together at last!
