Interruption

I am in the process of attempting to change website hosting providers. Hopefully this should all go nice and smoothly, but just in case it doesn’t, if things are a bit wobbly for a while then I am on the case, and hopefully I will get it sorted out soon.

More knitting related stuff soon.

Everything in moderation

Yes, I’m afraid today is the day of bad puns. You will be pleased to know that at the moment I can’t think of any others.

I seem to have been having problems with comment spam at the moment so I have turned on moderation. If you have already left a comment before, any subsequent comments should go through fine, but any comments from new people will have to be approved before they appear. I hope this wont be too much of a pain for anyone.

Thank you for all the lovely comments on my dyeing, it was a lot of fun and I can’t wait to do some more experimenting. I think that will hopefully be very soon, particularly considering the miserable weather we have been having here. C&G homework continues apace, slowed slightly by my computer spending time doing the electronic equivalent of lying on the floor and kicking its heels. I have talked nicely to it, and hopefully we are friends again now.

More soon, with actual knitting content!

Five Things Meme

Rosie has tagged me so I am going to play.

The Rules Each player answers the questions about themselves. At the end of the post, the player then tags 5-6 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know they’ve been tagged and asking them to read your blog. Let the person who tagged you know when you’ve posted your answer.

1. What I was doing 10 years ago:

In May 1998 I was sitting my first lot of finals for my first degree. I did a 4 year course, so we were examined on our work from second and third year at the end of third year, and then sat another set of finals at the end of our fourth year on the work learnt that year. I really enjoyed my course and made some great friends at college, and had a wonderful time!

2. What 5 things are on on my to-do list for today (not in any particular order):

  • Tidy up the post that arrived while my parents were visiting, and which I have just put in a pile and not read yet.
  • Tackle the mammoth pile of washing.
  • Chart my first attempt for my City and Guilds cardigan
  • Sort out my iTunes library
  • Collect together my bits and pieces to take the the conference I am going to tomorrow

3. Snacks I enjoy:

Where do I start? and possibly more importantly how do I stop? I love biscuits, dried apricots, milk chocolate, twiglets, hazelnuts, though not all together.

4. Things I would do if I was a billionaire:

All the usual: Buy a nice house, fill it with nice yarn 🙂 Invite all my friends over and have a knitting commune 🙂

5. Places I have lived:

  • Litlington, Hertfordshire (a very small village)
  • Hutton Rudby, North Yorkshire (a slightly larger village)
  • Oxford (I don’t think I need to tell you this is a city)
  • Ashtead, Surrey (a medium sized village – do you see a pattern forming?)

I will tag Mary, Anne, Katy, Sarena, Fiona, and Jo, and of course any one else who feels like it.

And now I had better actually do some of the things on my to-do list!
