My intentions to use this blog to force my pointless wafflings on the world more often have been scuppered by the deeply tragic and untimely death of my harddrive. I have had so many problems with my little macbook that it almost makes me fall out of love with Apple (almost, but not quite. Don’t worry, Steve!).

A brief Easter venture home to the country saw plenty of time to catch up on my knitting projects (when not teaching a labradoodle to use a trampoline or playing a very inventive game of my brother’s devising which I’m sure has given me permenant back problems) so I’m feeling pretty good about the state of my crafty affairs at the present time. Having recently (finally!) learnt to cable, I’m sticking them on everything there is: a scarf, some armwarmers and a headband to contain my sister’s ever varying hair when at college (currently a long white blonde mohican, it looks pretty awesome). Thanks to the countless hours I spend browsing craftster.org (I dare you not to get hooked), I’ve got a substantial list of projects to try but I think this must be the most pressing:
A cabled knitted bag! I imagine this in a soft grey yarn, with a floral lining on the inside and the strap. (pattern &hereThis reminds me of a blog I once found entirely dedicated to knitting versions of ’it’ bags…must go find.
