Well this last week I’ve been stuck at home nursing a nasty chest infection, so its given me chance to finish my licorice allsorts scarf, and here it is! I even went as far as knitting a fringe (normally I’d just do a knotted tassel one, but I found a great pattern and decided to have a go). Scarves always seem to take longer than I imagine, getting the length right is so hard (and attempting to try it on whilst its still on the needles is even harder!). I’ve started on my next project, a mini capelet to keep my shoulders warm, updates to follow I promise!

I only have a small kitchen, but I LOVE cooking! I have a terrible habit of using every pot, pan, plate, glass and piece of cutlery I own to produce mini gourmet feasts, and then leaving the washing up until the next day (ewww! I know!). Or else, I do the washing up, and create a drying rack full to Jenga like proportions, from which I carefully extract a single fork to use, but leave the rest alone until it actually starts falling off onto the floor (necessitating re-washing, bah!) I’ve decided its a much nicer feeling to walk into the kitchen in the morning and find the work tops & sink clear, and everything back in the cupboards and drawers where it belongs. So from now on, I’m going to make the effort to do the washing up if not immediately after eating, at least within the same 12 hours, there’s only one of me living here, how hard can it be!!?

Ok, so for the last two years I’ve gotten out of the habit of keeping in touch with people, mainly because of the destructive relationship I was in, and the fall out from it finally ending. But no more! 2007 is a new year, I have lots of lovely friends, many of whom have been very understanding when I’ve told them why I’ve been a bit incommunicado of late, so this year (and for the forseeable) future, I’m going to make an effort to keep in touch.
