(Killing time while waiting for client to call back)
WHY is knitting wool so expensive? Not only the posh crafty stuff like Colinette; even mostly-acrylic chunky wool is about £3 a ball, and you need at least 10 balls to make a jumper. For *actual* wool, not the stuff Proper Knitters call "yarn", you're looking at £5 a ball, or £8 for merino or lambswool. Since I get itchy from Actual Wool other than merino, cashmere & Colinette, I'm going to be very poor, very quickly :(
Poo.

The Clarkson one has been possessed by Paul Mackenna. It has magic powers. I do want him now.
Seeing as Munchie went to all the trouble of getting heavenly caps it seemed a shame not to use them.
And now you will achieve as little today as I have.
