Today was a semi-malingering day. I'm still not well, but managed to get out to Boots and Hobbycraft (which is next door to Boots, so less cheeky than it could have been) this afternoon. Typically for me, I wanted beads in a size / colour combination that don't appear to exist - either I could get 3mm beads in cheap-fake-pearl colours, *or* a differnt size in a colour I wanted. Also typically, I've bought two colourways because I still haven't decided which I'm going to make the gloves in pic 20/24 in. I want to do pics 13 & 14 as well, and have enough yarn - but I'm not sure which colourways to use for which thing. I have one ball of Jay, and two of each of New Storm and Raphael. Except that the New Storm would look lovely as the gloves, but Jay & Raphael don't go together at all, and if I do the gloves in Jay I'll also want them in New Storm, and then won't wear the Jay ones, and however much I love the Raphael as a colour, it won't go with anything else I wear unless I mix it with monochrome. I think I'm going to have to buy some more yarn. Woe.



Corvus and Valerius & Longinus still not dead. Verulamium & Vespasian's Bridge destroyed.

This is worse than reading OotP. At least then I knew my favourite character was going to die. Now I'm pretty much convinced of it, but have only my gut feeling and history of being right about these things to go on. I'm having to stop myself flicking forward to the end, just so I know and can get used to the idea, and I find I'm literally crossing my toes that they'll have a happy reunion before everything falls apart.

Emotionally invested? Me?

I am so in love with those gloves! They're in adverts somewhere! I had a moment of insanity in John Lewis last month where I decided to knit them in orange with coral coloured fake pearls only I came to my senses and didn't buy anything so daft. I kind of want the dress that I imagine would have the cuffs like that. Then I could be The Lady of The Lake or something.

I don't seem to have any great knitting pattern books to bring next weekend unless anyone wants socks!
