Where does the time go? I’ve not got much knitting done lately. This week I’ve been spending a substantial amount of time on the swap<\/a>, but hopefully now that the matches are being organised, that will calm down a bit.
\nIn any case, posting pics of Icarus is a bit of a waste of time, it looks the same as the last pic, with maybe 5 or 6 extra rows done.
\nIcarus was the only thing I had on the needles, and it wasn’t the most convenient knitting, so I started Em’s hat.

\nCrappy picture again.
\nIt looks very small. It’s the “Winter Cap” from the current issue of the Aussie Creative Knitting. I don’t often knit anything from the magazine, and 10 rows in on this project, and I’m remembering why.
\nAs I mentioned, the hat looks a little small. However, I can’t check my gauge.
\nI tried, but the gauge listed is “22sts to 10cm on 4mm needles over stocking stitch”, which is standard 8ply (DK) tension, but the hat is knit on 6mm needles with the DK yarn doubled, so the gauge they’ve given is useless.
\nSo I guess I’ll soldier on for a bit, then check it against Em’s head.
\nIn very, very good news, David has a new job! He starts in just over 2 weeks, and he’s getting a nice little pay rise. So I’m treating us to a new digital camera.
\nDecent pictures will be here soon!
\nNow it’s time for handy hints.
\nDoes anyone know how to get candle wax off carpet? My wall sconce overflowed, and there is now wax all over my hall carpet and I don’t know how to get it off!
\nAnd a handy hint for everyone else – If you have the hiccups, have half a teaspoon of peanut butter.
\nIt works. Seriously!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
