It's been raining almost non-stop here. Weeds are sprouting up everywhere. And driving to work, oh it does you good seeing everything so green. So lush. I am not complaining (except of course if I get caught without my brolly!!) as we're in drought at the moment. Such a freak of weather after not much rain for a while.
First day of winter today though. So out come all the woolly coats and jumpers, and my darling friend Bells has given me a great beanie pattern, so I'm going to knit beanies for presents. Yes yes, though I will admit, I am a big ol' cheat. It's not using dpns. I am terrified of them and really just can't manage them, or at least not the casting on section. It just doesn't work for me, I don't "get it". I need another face to face lesson Bells!!!
So what's planned for the weekend? Well to be honest I think I'm going to go straight to heaven in the express lane when the time comes, after tomorrow! I'm spending the afternoon with my in-laws *AND* my husband's ex-wife plus my darling step-children. Does that send shivers up anyone's spine? I'm only kidding, we all get on very well. Step-daughter number one is turning sweet 16 so a family gathering is in the offering.
Okay, I'm mixing these about a bit, but here's another layout from my "Things that never really happened" series. Loving doing these, what can I say. I have a warped sense of humour! I loosely dedicate this to someone, she knows who she is!!!! LOL

Carol, carol, carol - the dpns are only needed for the last part, not the start of the beanie! I hate doing beanies that start at the crown too. I will get you over this fear. In the meantime, that pattern you've got is a good one.
I love that photo!! It makes me giggle.
Carol, you rock! These layouts are some of my all time favorites! You are amazingly clever! You should submit this series to a magazine! I would buy it!
Have fun with the in-laws, or as we call them around here, the outlaws!
Thanks for providing, yet another, great belly laugh!
ack! in/out-laws are bad enough, but the ex-wife too?! you will definitely be in the express lane to heaven! i'll pray for your sanity!
