Frustrations

I've just lost the post I thought I was editing. AAAgggghhhh.

I hate to repeat myself! But I was rhapsodising about knitting forums. having been suffering from arm pain - from laptop misuse, not knitting, I hope - and was reading the orrespondence on Angel Yarns forum. I've never, in real life, met such a group of concerned and thoughtful people. In fact, I didn't think they existed. But the different forums I visit have restored my trust in human nature. There is such a wealth of interest and support out there, is it any wonder I am overdosing on Internet time?

My geriatric chair has just been delivered: anything for comfortable knitting!

Finally got something to show - a tank top for DD in Rowan Tapestry. I'm quite pleased with myself because I managed to work out the pattern - it's not cabled, but is two strips twisted. Of course, I don't know yet whether it fits! Almost finished is a

scarf, also in Tapestry: I downloaded the pattern - from Magknits, thanks! - and have just used garter stitch instead of the ridged pattern of the original. It's really cosy and pretty too. I might get some more of this colourway of Tapestry to experiment with a domino waistcoat. I love the short-row knitting, though the 'just another block' syndrome kicks in at midnight.

have spent a fair part of today crawling on the floor planning a pattern on graph paper. No posts of WIP from now on until Christmas - even I have to do something about presents. So I'll be trying to get Fig to sit still long enough to be photographed. There's a puppy which looks very much like her in the latest 'Knitting' magazine, so someone obviously thinks she's photogenic.

Now the chair has arrived, the dogs' patience can be rewarded: I won't even try it out before I take them for a walk.

Happy knitting!
