Spoilt me!

It was my birthday this week, yippee!

Now, at my age, it often goes a bit un-noticed and un-celebrated..... but this year was a real treat; I only found my knitting group in March and they've made me so much a part of the gang I feel I've been going for years.

A flood of text messages before lunch put hubby to shame (he'd forgotten, with all the fuss about moving house...) and three squashy yarn packages followed along with a gorgeous handknits book (thanks Nat!) and a scrummy bottle of wine - I'm spoilt and I love it!

a HUGE thank you!!! xxx

Rhubarb crumble...

so, we're moving house in 5 sleeps and we need to use everything in the freezer this week. There's a bag of rhubarb for sure and I know I left some crumble topping from the last time I made so that's one meal ! (ah-hem, I meant to say, 2 - 4 servings of pudding and absolutely NOT one full meal for me.....)

otherwise, everything is packed and good to go!

in knitting news:

• I have finished my StashBustingFeatherAndFanBlanket, just need to block it and do pix for ravelry
• I have finished (all but graft the toe and the chardonnay says not-tonight-darling) my first ever sock!!!!!
• Dishcloth II finished and just in time for the first one to go in the wash (Must-Use-The-Handknits)
• I'm working on my LogCabin blanket with about 5 balls of Noro Kureyon to go - easy TV knitting (the chardonnay says bring-it-on)

heaps planned, stash-busting included, packing has been cathartic (the chardonnay says that-might-be-a-word-meaning-cleansing...?) hopefully post-move and the onset of winter will see blogs galore and FO's flying OTN!

(chardonnay says hic!)
