a turbo boost

earlier this week a little fairy emailed me and said she was buying some pretty shiny things that were on sale and did i want some? i said yes and the little fairy delivered them to my door today. i will let the pictures speak for themselves.





it is entirely possible i will never knit with anything else ever again. george is a very naughty little fairy.

Oh the wrap cardigan is looking good. Does the book have lots of nice patterns, or just one or two. Can you let me know as I have not really seen the book anywhere and would like a sneak peek at the patterns.

hi sue there are are some really nice things and some really dodgy things. there is a skirt i want to make and a great sock pattern, some groovy pants, and a couple of really nice coats and short sleeved tops. i think the sweater section is disappointing, they are all too trizzy for me, sometimes you just want a basic classic jumper that doesnt look like hessian sack, but they have gone a bit too far in the other direction. definately worth a look tho. the wrap is the best thing in it tho.

Yay for new shiny things. The boobrocks look just right on the new jumper. :)

Love all those new knitting pressies you have - making me quite jealous!
Huge congrats on the conference funding, very very exciting!!
I have been having my own scary interactions with bigwhigs of late - I spent Friday day walking 'the' philosopher of nanotech around Bergen, and then Friday night being totally charmed by the head of bioethics at UNESCO - "You simply must come to Paris...". Just keep reminding yourself that they are human beings, not gods, and that given a few more years you could very well be in the same position! Doesn't always work but I find it a soothing and self affirming mantra nonetheless!
