Well I shall be looking through my stash today to see what I have, but it
will be creamy/white type colours

I wonder if I will get it started today

Katherine, here I am ahead a little, Otto now a days cooks the
breakfasts....he thinks that he is better at making porridge than I am.
I got him by the‡‡, and told him that I did agree whole heartly. So he
now makes a great breakfasts and on Sunday morning a soft boiled egg as
well.

Lucky me, here is a husband that is strickt in the devision of labour in
his marriage.....(grinning)

My DH does weekend breakfasts, too, and he thinks I don't fry bacon as
well as he does, so that lets me off the hook!

My dad always got up at the crack of dawn (farm-boy training) and on
Sundays this resulted in the smell of coffee and homemade cinnamon rolls
(with butterscotch frosting) pervading the house before the rest of us
woke up. When I left home for college, Sundays were very disorienting
without that smell.

Actually, my father always cooked SUnday dinner. We would go to Mass - my
mother and siblings - and Daddy would stay home and cook. It was wonderful!

Are you excited about it, O? Why not spend a bit of time gently stash
browsing to build up the momentum, and who knows!!
Love Christine

I have been doing that this morning and have chosen a soft pale buttery
colour in mohair Picking up needles today is a definite maybe

Sounds yummy O, do you think a little fondle first might be in order, and
then you'd be really fired up. What stitch pattern are you planning?
Love C

yers I am fondling already, it is sooooooo soft. I think it will be a
plain garter stitch 'cos the wool is nice and fluffy I say dear, you are
really pulling me into this thing)) What with you and Els I can see it
finished soon)

Hi Lix,

I hope you are feeling better now. I have an afghan crocheted with Patons
Brocade which I made from several colours of it which I got on eBay. It's
lovely and soft and cuddly. I expect your sweater will be the same, and the
colours are just gorgeous. I agree it's probably a fairly old yarn and it's
a great shame it's no longer made.

Hi all,

Had a quiet day, recovering from a 'tummy bug'! It is damp and drizzly
here but not very cold - typical English Winter! I did housework and
ironing and then got to work on a top down sweater I am making. The yarn
is Patons Brocade, which is probably very old, I bought it at a charity
shop. It was designated double knit but worked up very dense and tight on
the recommended needles, so I swatched it on 5mm needles and it looked
much better. I don't think the yarn is made any more, which is a shame -
it looks like mohair variegated with some sections that look more like a
fine chenille. It is synthetic. I'll post a photo when I finish. The
pattern is very simple, but the yarn is good for plain knitting.

I also worked on the Shedir hat from the Knitty Autumn. It's nearly
finished and I may finish before bed time. This hat has been a challenge!
I think I will do it again though, I love the pattern.

Wishing everyone a good week

Best wishes from

Liz
