Thankyou all for the messages and good wishes! They are very much appreciated 🙂
I’m still feeling a bit dopey (as if that’s unusual 😉 from painkillers and such, but feeling much better than I did last night. I haven’t even done any knitting, just laid in bed all day trying to watch the Olympics. Which was kinda funny, because I kept dozing off and wasn’t sure what was going on! I went from swimming to diving to gymnastics to shooting and medal ceremonies and I don’t really know who won what, LOL!! Well, except Ian Thorpe who is showing up every ten minutes on Aussie TV.
Hopefully back on track tomorrow 🙂

I finished Em’s hat 🙂

Sorry about the blurry pic, not quite sure what happened there! Things went much quicker with this hat after I went out yesterday and bought a new 3mm circular.
I made the hat 1/2″ shorter than the pattern, because the pattern was an adult size, but I think I should have done it the full length. Em is happy with it though, so it probably doesn’t matter 🙂
I’m having surgery tomorrow – nothing major, one of those in and out in one day things, so I may post tomorrow, depending on how tired the anasthetic makes me. Unfortunately, they’ve scheduled me for the afternoon, and I have to fast all day. I also seem to be almost coming down with a cold. I hope it holds off until Tuesday!!
Wish me luck! 🙂

Just a quickie tonight. I’m so tired I feel like I need to prop my eyes open!
Here’s the progress so far on my Making Waves sock. I’m kinda glad I didn’t redye it, I’m pleased with the colour so far.

Mind you, knitting socks on 5 dpns, and using another as a cable needle is enough to send you batty!
I’d like to say that I’m going to stay up and watch the Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Games, but it’s on at 3.30am local time! So instead, my “Cool Socks, Warm Feet” book came from Threadbear, so I’m going to bed to read it and be inspired 🙂

Not a great deal of knitting today, I had to catch up on the dreaded housework that I pretended didn’t exist while I sequinned 😉
However, I frogged some of Em’s hat due to a glaring error and caught it back up. Well, it was glaring to me!
Here’s how it looks now.

I’m enjoying this yarn 🙂 It’s a 4ply merino extrafine, “Bambi” by Grignasco that I got from STYK. Nice colour range too. 🙂
I’ve got the hat all squished up on sock needles. This is because someone with teeth decided to have a taste of my 3mm circ, and it no longer has a nice smooth cable. The main suspect is pictured below.

Now why would I suspect such an innocent little face? 🙂

I’m so relieved that the costume is done I feel like it’s Christmas! I’ve been knitting all day just because I could 🙂
I did a bit of DH’s sweater, I’ve used up one ball out of thirteen now, I did a little of the Making Waves socks and I also cast on for Emily’s lace cap and knit around 2 inches of that.
Yay!! for knitting 🙂
In other happy news, my Magnolia flowered today! Please note that I have a black thumb, I am notorious for being unable to grow anything. The flower looks a little crummy, but at least I have one. Especially seeing as the lady next door has a gorgeous pink magnolia that is covered in flowers.

And there are more buds ready to bloom 🙂
