I am having a week end of knitting and sewing, especially finishing things off.
The jumper that I am knitting isupside down, downside up, 
top down. This is my first attempt at top down knitting. So I started with the ribbing at the neck, and with all the increases it is going well. The puzzling thing is that the writer of the pattern says to try to jumper on, and make sure the sleeves are big enough.
To do that I would need to put all the stitches on a long thread, and fiddle about muchly. I am assuming that it is more important that the front and back are the right size. What do the other knittists on here think? I am using James Brett marble chunky so all the colour changes are round the neckline and part way down the body and the sleeves. I have a chunky wool in a toning red for the rest of the garment.

Feeling rather 
today, so curled up in front of the telly watching Torquay play in the FA Cup.
Looks like tomorrow's plan to go to Rockingham may well be canned. Not sure I can handle feeling grotty *and* handle the cold and the rain at the same time.

My wife supports Torquay, as she grew up within a stone’s throw of the ground.
They recently came 77/87 in a league table based on how exciting you team has been to support over the last 20 years.
Probably explains why she doesn’t talk about them much.

Ah. Yes.
Well, it was something reasonable to watch compared to what else is on TV of a Saturday... Currently flicking between Final Score and the darts.

I seem to be gettng more mixed up after having hormone injections. First of all my wife burst out laughing when I was at the chemist's and noticed that false fingernails were held on with super glue. The next was when I was thinking of what to make with some pieces of leather. A bag came to mind, a handbag! 
Things seemed to be settling down until a few minutes ago when I was getting dressed to go out . I put on a dark pair of jeans. I thought they looked a bit different. I was having a problem doing up the top button thing and then I fished around for the zip. It wasn't on the right hand side!
It was on the left!!! I took them off pretty quick.
Oh and I bought a ladies golf club!
