Knitting Time
Yay, time to get knitting again! ChoChiyo is going to crochet me a scalf in Dr Who style, and I’m going to knit one for her, then we can swap. It’ll be interesting to see how this turns out. I’m not sure how to go about the design, but the stitching will be pretty simple in order to get it finished within a year. I wanted to do moss stitch, but moving the wool back and forth would be too complicated. I’m really looking forward to getting going but I don’t want to rush it and make it not as quality. The design is important! I need to take stock of my wool reserves, taking into account the fact that I am able to get loads from school because I’m one of the few who knits and they have tons of yarn but no needles.
Grr, I wish I had the patience to write more. I’ve decided that I might keep a notebook about me so I can note blog things down. I wish I had an appropriate notebook that I’m not too bothered about taking to school.
I’ll have to start calling you “Madame DeFarge”. (It’s from Dickens’ A Tale of Two Cities – Google it if you don’t know)
See, I do still read your blog!

Madame Defarge – A cruel revolutionary whose hatred of the aristocracy fuels her tireless crusade, Madame Defarge spends a good deal of the novel knitting a register of everyone who must die for the revolutionary cause. Unlike her husband, she proves unrelentingly blood-thirsty, and her lust for vengeance knows no bounds.

Hehehe – in the movie(s), her “register” looks like a verrrrrry long scarf.
