Monday Mood
We have a pile of wrapped presents in our living room. David is celebrating his birthday this week and I finished wrapping his presents yesterday whilst he was out looking at naked ladies at his art class. I also made a head start on wrapping the Christmas presents. Now I'm all antsy because we have a pile of wrapped presents in our living room and I really want to open them all. I have never been the most patient person in the world.
David's birthday means that I will not be able to go to Gourock on Saturday. Scotland's newest yarn shop, Once A Sheep, is hosting an Ysolda Teague event and I would actually like to meet some of the Edinburgh knitters I only know online. I'm also one of the few knitters who do not own a copy of Ysolda's new book and the event at Once A Sheep would have been a perfect time to buy it. Oh well. Maybe I should just go to Edinburgh soon?
(Speaking of crafty things .. if you fancy some Malabrigo, Madelinetosh or some luscious Debbie Bliss Tweed, head over to Make Do & Mend. Mooncalf is doing a blog giveaway. She is a lovely woman.)
Finally, I have begun yet another lace project. I'm convinced it is because I'm stuck doing the sleeves for David's sweater. I really should focus on the sweater, shouldn't I? After all, it is the boy's birthday later this week..

Aww thanks :)
I think you should go to Edinburgh soon. My geography is a bit shaky north of Harrogate but I seem to recall a direct train link. And you deserve a treat for being so organised with the Xmas gift shopping. I ordered a few things last Friday but I thought I was being exceptionally keen.
Maybe the lace project with hit a tricky section and the sleeves will seem like a pleasant break?

There’s a direct train running glasgow-Edinburgh, yes. There are buses too! I’ve just been very bad at getting outside Glasgow lately.
As for Christmas presents .. I bought my first present in March. I’m almost ashamed..

‘Maybe I should just go to Edinburgh soon?’
Yes, I think that’s the answer. I don’t have Ysolda’s new book either, I just tend to buy her patterns as I go along.
