(lexi took the pics lol)
i'm rather pleased with it - my first non-sock/glove/hat grown up knit!
it took almost exactly 600g of the new Bendigo Woolen Mills Luxury 10ply, other details & mods etc are on my rav page..
and just to teach me to neglect my blog feed reader thingammy, i've just discovered that i was tagged ages ago by the very crafty & allegedly crazy Jo for a MeMe that everyone was doing, like, ages ago.. ;-)

our new carpet. it’s so soft & squishy!

jeans, merino top, new hoodie
If you could change 1 thing about yourself, what would you change?
working on the teeth, so would have to be the nose.. sorry, love ya dad, but could do without your nose.
What would you eat for your last meal?
our version of katie’s lentil lasagna (no courgettes lol), really good chocolate milk, hot chips, hot fudgey gooey vegan chocolate cake, with triple chocolate icecream, and fresh strawberries & de spa chocolates on the side. all organic & sustainable ingredients of course, can afford to live up to ideals for last meal if no other time!

my friends, ravelry & various blogs – chronic “I could try that” syndrome

Terry Pratchett's Discworld series
Do you collect anything?
mess. hobbies.

having no patience for medium-large purchases once i know i have the money & need (or concocted need at least)
The rules:1. Respond and rework; answer the questions on your blog, replace one question that you dislike with a question of your invention, add one more question of your own. 2. Tag eight other people.
soo umm.. i'll try to pull some adjectives out of my bloggy hat- domestic, challenging, sufficient, addled, creative (or umm late), naked, satisfying, and a goodie!

Oooh, but I love Eli!!!! I love the jumper too - it really suits you :)
Beautiful!!! It fits you so well too - how did you avoid the handknit-jumper-for-a-gorilla syndrome?? I love the cuffs. Clever, clever you. And you did it in time for it still to be winter and appropriate wear. Wowzer.
I'm impressed!
thanks! pippa i just folded the cuffs back ;)
I love that jumper! I still haven't been game enough to knit anything for me.
