We have yet to see it folded, I'm still not convinced it isn't welded.
Ok, I have done it.
I've placed the order and I am just working out where I'm going to get the money from to pay for it
I'm getting the 58 short large frame with headset, bb and cantilever brakes. the rest will come from the tea steed and cannibalising the Clarty Hack; flat bars with rapid fire shifters, just to get away from down shifters as soon as poss. I'll go back to drops when I upgrade the drivetrain.
Tea is very much appreciated!
I'm an overexcited nervous wreck.
Magpie black.......yummmmmmmmmmmmmmm

It does fold, though it's a bit grumpy after a salty winter...
Order placed eh? Shweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!!
Let me know if you need any bits and/or bobs for it and I'll happily rummage in the spares boxes.

It should arrive by the end of the week.
Cheers for the offer Landers, I'll let you know once I start the build, that won't be until sometime next week.

No probs, I'll even overlook your uncharitable comments re: the foldy!

Afternoon all! Any tea on the go?
I sat up until 11 last night finishing a hot water bottle cover for Mother's Day. And I've just emailed some feedback on a glove pattern to my friend with the wool stall. I feel like a professional knitter!
Not only that but last night I turned down a night in a hotel. Although it wasn't so hard a decision.

*Passes Tea? Arch-wards*
Every time knitting is mentioned, I feel like such a slacker.
I really should sort myself out with a proper project...
And what's with the hotel? Boring conference? Indecent Proposal?

Actually, both... An old flame was in town for a conference and had suggested meeting for a drink - but in the end had to attend an evening session which went on later than I'd be prepared to be going out (I may have slightly exagerated how early I go to bed). We spoke on the phone and he said he'd ring if the session finished early enough (he didn't), and that if I wanted to change my mind and have a night at the hotel with him, I could just text... I didn't... Water under the bridge, and all that. Whether I'd have done the same with a couple of drinks inside me, and face to face, I don't know, but I hope I would....
What sort of knitting/project do you fancy? I have many and varied patterns.

Patterns ain't the problem, it's motivation. That and the fact that I once tried to knit a sweater, but it went wrong and I frogged it and my girlfriend doesn't really like the colours I had for it. And then there was the attempt at knitting socks...

Yeah, I thought so. I've been back there before and it wasn't right.
Landslide, I heard a story from a friend about someone who'd knitted socks for her husband all there married life, and one evening, not quite paying attention, she turned the heel twice on one sock...
If it's a lack of motivation, maybe you need smaller projects than a sweater. Hot Water Bottle covers are good. I just finished this....
