I get stressed when I have too many possessions. So every now and again (usually when the flat is in a right mess), I throw away 10 things. It does not matter what they are or what the value is/was – but 10 have to go! It works well for me. Tidy flat = tidy head, messy flat = messy head.

I faffed around with the instruction manual for months and recently went on a weekend course in learning the basics. I had figured out how to do the more advanced stuff on my own but didn’t know the basics. The course was brilliant and I learnt everything that I wanted to learn. The tutor showed us that the manuals are very rigid and give the impression that there is a wrong and right way of using the machine. In actual fact, there are many ways to do the same thing. For example, the manuals tell you that you must cast-on from left to right. This is rubbish, you can cast-on from right to left and it makes no difference. Have you got going at all with your machine? let me know if you need help with somthing in particular. p.s. I love my machine! yay! :-D

I knitted an ear-warmer type headband from baby alpakka yarn for my sister for xmas. It took forever! Looked very good but it was a bit itchy so she never has never worn it. Plus she is pale with blond hair and I used a similar colour yarn. Not a good look.
