Summed up by the userpic.

The rest of the weekend was spent sleeping, catching up on LJ, sleeping, spending far too much in the John Lewis sales (although I didn't buy any shoes!), sleeping, realising just how much red & black yarn I now have, and sleeping.

I have a Plan for a Pi jumper; striped 3 rows of red, 1 black, 4 red, 1 black, 5 red, 9 black, etc. Also a frilly-edged alpaca cardigan (red with a balck frill, or possibly the other way around). Then I have to find things to knit with 6 skeins of Debbie Bliss pure silk in bright turquoise, and 4 in dark purply blue, and the Stash will be back to pre-weekend levels.

*Gulp*

Also, *gloat* and *chortle* and *rubs hands together*. Explanations later in the week :)

Pi jumper?! Nerd!

Only cos the Fibonnacci series has been done already!

What do your tattoos "mean"?

I mostly answer "I am not a cybergoth" but considering there are 32 digits per arm ring that doesn't quite add up. I could tell you, but I'd have to kill you and you live too far away.

Oooh it must have been the week for buying silk. I am in full on knitting planning mode, have so many things to knit! I love browsing through so many patterns. Think that my orangey silk/cotton will become this: http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEsummer07/PATTcoachella.html

and I think the kakhi skein of mohair from the mohair o' doom will become the lacey thing in the same issue of knitty.

I think I'm going to buy Barbara Walker's stitch dictioary (one of them) so I can design my own lacey things.

That top is gorgeous. I may have to make one as well!

(Three pattern books also followed me home. Ooops.)

Summer Essentials (for a lovely vest), Cashmerino DK for the ribbed cardigan (right hand pic) and Alpaca Silk 2 for the frill edged cardigan (bottom right pic) to be done in colours 11 & 1.

I have enough Cathay in 03 for a smallish jumper, too...

Lovely, lovely things!
