Working through the WIP pile.

WAVY is now finished! I was at a bit of a loss as to what to take to our first inaugral s'n'b.. something not too big (because I was going to have to carry it there), or complicated (you can't bitch if you're reading charts) or black (because the lighting wasn't great). It didn't leave a whole lot, so I decided to take (and finish!) wavy! So here is a pic of me looking pretty pleased with myself over wavy.
Our first knitting get together (i'm hesitant to call it a s'n'b just yet ;) ) was a lot of fun, with good coffee, wine, cake and company. We hope to make it a bi-monthly occurence (hmm sudden thought - is bi-monthly twice a month, or every 2 months? anyway, we're aiming for twice a month) on the 'somethingth' Tuesday and the 'somethingth' Sunday (I can't remember which.. I told you I wouldn't remember Jack :P) so hopefully if any out-of-towners are interested they might be able to make the trek here on a Sunday.

I've definitely indulged in stash-increasing over the past couple of weeks too. I've ordered some Debbie Bliss Aran Tweed in Red, ostensibly for the Sunrise Circle Jacket,but really.. who knows. I also picked up some Filatura Di Crosa Zara in black yesterday from the LYS, enough for either Sizzle or Ms. Marigold - my gauge is going to be out on both of these, Sizzle more so than Ms. M, so I'm not sure how to tackle this problem yet - I shall think on it.

Nice to see a smiling Sam ;)(beautiful wavy too...colour is ACE!).

Can't wait to meet up for your S'n'B some lazy Sunday - just got to convince G that no, taking the kids would *not* be a good idea ;).

It is the 2nd Sunday and the 4th Tuesday for the record (I will have it tattooed on Sam's forehead in due course). It was indeed great ful although I have frogged the headscarf I was working on as it had some nasty loose bit in it. :(

Sam, glad you finally finished Wavy AND sewed the ends in. ;)
