Dr Reynard prescribes a comfy sofa, a large mug of tea and a good box set.

Did anyone prescribe a nap nap because I've just woken up ? My friend's bike will have to wait for another day.
It is a lovely sunny evening.

Naps come when they're ready for you.

I am learning how to work the system for oldsters. I go to Goodwill for 20% off used stuff today, I get fruit and veg from the State Universities System Friday. Not like I have retirement plans. Healthy eating and exercise when I am back on the bike will hopefully put off retirement for a good many years. Did you know that the mere presence of an Italian bicycle in your garage acts as an antioxidant?

Used fruit and veg?

The yoke and top of the sleeves is one of the James Brett marble yarns (Shade 27) with dark red, dark green and gold and purple. I have used some plain dark red (Sirdar Click Chunky) within the yoke and have knitted below the yoke so far in the plain dark red. I have some gold chunky wool but it is slightly thicker that the James Brett chunky and the Sirdar Click Chunky. I have four plain red left and will see how far half of that goes on the body of the jumper, allowing one ball each for the sleeves. James Brett does not make plain Chunky yarn, and Sirdar Click, my most favourite yarn, is now discontinued.

The local shop sells Scheepjes yarn, which if think is available in lots of colours.

Aaargh, frustrating when they don't make / stock stuff anymore...

Hope you can find a solution to your yard dilemma.

Like most knittists, I often have two or three things in the process of being made.

......... the show drapes........

What are drapes? I mean, I know what they are in America, but what are they here?

I think that's true of all craft-type peeps. I have the show drapes on the go, have started a wall hanging, am in the middle of making a new outfit for one of my racing driver bears and am have a couple of pieces of artwork in the planning stages...

Show drapes - miniature curtains to decorate a pen at cat shows. Like these...

Lucky number?

Lucky number?

Hmmm, not really. Just the pen number we were assigned for that particular show.

That doesn't seem right.

Leonardo Da Vinci had a lot of unfinished projects lying around.
