Okay, it’s time to get everything back to some kind of normal. Or at least, approaching normal. (Which is about as close as we get most times, anyway!)
\nGrandma’s funeral service was lovely, and all of you who said the service would help were right.
\nThe knitting has suffered, but I promise that there has been some<\/em> going on.
\nNo Saturday sky this week (we spent it in a freezing<\/em> school hall, watching children of various sizes dance about the stage), but here’s a Sunday sky instead.

\nMore rain! Months ago, I swore that I’d never compain about the rain because we needed it so badly. I may go back on that promise if it keeps up like this.
\nThis is also the excuse for any crappy pictures I’m about to show. There’s no decent light for pictures, I’m afraid.
\nThe socks have been tossed on the UFO pile in a temper. BlueADT<\/a> and I have decided to work on them together, toe-up, in a few weeks. Surely this time it’ll all go well.
\nFamous last words!
\nEmily has been dropping hints like anvils about wanting a new scarf for school, so I decided to start work on that when the socks went off track. I’d ordered some Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran<\/a> in Navy from Janette’s Rare Yarns<\/a>, and was going to design something myself, but then I saw Elbac<\/a> in Knitty<\/a>, and decided it was too nice to stuff about with.

\nNavy blue cables on a dreary day… Not so good for pictures! One of 63 repeats done. Don’t hold your breath waiting for it guys! I love Cashmerino. And Em is pretty impressed with it, too. She just wants me to knit it more quickly.
\nThe main thing I’ve been working on is the pink\/purple baby cardi.

\nOne back, two fronts.

\nTwo blurry sleeves, up to the raglan shaping. I’d like to say I hope to finish it this week, but I’ve got another busy one coming up. And if I say I plan to finish it, it just won’t happen.
\nSo I won’t say it. I might just hope it, quietly.
\nI was emailing Amanda<\/a> earlier in the week, and Roxie was mentioned. As I was answering her email, I looked over at the doll, and the photo opportunity was too good to ignore.
