black christmas

i can't believe how difficult it is just to buy regular old black crochet cotton in central london. i ended up having to pay £5 a ball for the 'silky' stuff at john lewis and i/m hoping that it will workup into some lovely black snowflakes to put on our bright pink xmas tree!

and a big word of warning to anyone who goes shopping down oxford street - their credit card system has been fucked since last weekend, so take cash...

long time wrong time

i"m not too sure about the silk/alpaca/human hair scarf now...it seems too long.

but am going to keep working on it - need to get some seed beeds to crochet into the fringy bits.

and more noro for the blondeboy's scarf.

busy bee still...

been a busy couple weeks!

work is still kicking off but at least the people around me have good taste in music and can crochet...i'm working on a nice yummy scrummy silky fuzzy new wintery black black scarf with some new artesano yarn i got at the iknit weekender.

and i'm going to be a social anthropologist....

everything sorted, bought, and paid for and i go back to school starting the 28th.

the same week that my daughter ravenisis starts her humanities degree there!

not quite the usual college co-eds.

or???

i'm sure it will be cutting into my crafty time but will be worth it!
