With the exception of trying on beeyoutiful corsets (inspiration for my new course starting tomorrow) and wandering Brick Lane a little with Lotta, I didn't do very much over the weekend. Except knit. Here's the current progress:
This beret pattern from Debonnaire is on the needles at the moment, I bought it at I Knit day. Now I'm sort of wondering whether I should have gone for this one because I did want something flippier, floppier I think. I'm knitting it in Posh Yarns cashmere from last year - I meant to try to log on at 6pm on Sunday to score some more of either the Sophia 4ply sock weight cashmere or the Eva 4ply sock weight which is a silk and cashmere mix because damn it, on this first day of autumn, my feet are bloody cold. Mother, if you're still tuning in here, consider that my Christmas list. Pretty Polly and Pillar Box - yum. I'll persevere with the beret. I have learned to embrace frogging. It will be ok.
After frogging the purl soho socks I picked up the airplane socks again and they are coming along nicely. Ironically enough they may be flying off to someone else when they are done.
Anyone else got a new iPod? Genius really is very clever. And it's super cute. Though shaking it to shuffle is a little counter-intuitive because that is normally what you do when this-stupid-thing-doesn't-work-any-more and I'm hoping that won't be the case for a while.
Ok, what's Brick Lane? Btw, the eagle (er, yarn) has landed LOL!
That Genius thing looks pretty cool. I'm an ipod-retard. I have one, but I barely function with it. Maybe someday I'll figure it out!
