Discover that Miss Muffin the ferret (one of two that live with the Old Flame), not only steals his socks and hides them, but has developed a taste for my hand-knitted socks. My Stanbridge socks were discovered in her lair. We have had words and I've agreed to not leave my socks within her reach.
Called in to visit the Old Flame's parents on Saturday and saw progress on his Dad's winter jumper. His Mum is about to start the last piece; it will be ready before Spring. It's a gorgeous cabled jumper in Bendigo Classic 8ply, Cranberry.
Heirloom Jigsaw 4ply - basic sock pattern
Finished the second of Mum's "whinger" socks just before the Wallabies got flogged by the All Blacks on Saturday night.
Took several goes to cast on another sock in Patonyle after attending a rather fine Cabernet Sauvignon wine tasting on Sunday.

Oh dear. You still have that allergy to the word crochet? I think there are antihistamines for that.
Naughty Ferrets!!
I am a bit obsessed with knitting and crocheting on TV shows. I loved Sam's beautiful cardigan she wore on Foyle's War tonight!!
Ah yes, wine enhanced stitching often creates havoc within cast-ons. Have taped all of Foyle's War and will have to review the knitting features that 2paw has pointed out!
A rather lovely pale green cardie in a very fine weight with bobbly bits.
Damn that counting cast on stitches - I can never get the same number twice after the second glass of vino!
I can't help noticing the knits on TV either. Foyles War and Agatha Christie with Miss Marple are great, with the added bonus that Miss Marple knits!
The ad with the woman knitting who throws her knitting off the needles while the voice over says "Do something more exciting" annoys me! [maybe it only shows in NSW]
Who can blame the ferret for wanting only the finest and comfiest things to line her bed?
