Bummer
Its been a tough week.
1. My laptop is on the fritz...sometimes it turns on, sometimes it doesn't and everytime it does Im so excited to have it I forget to back up. And then it wont turn on again.
2. My less than 2yo more than $600.00 washing machine blew up last night. Yes I havent done any laundry in three weeks, yes I was on my last pair of everything, yes it was 9.00pm on Sunday night.
-No I am not looking very presentable at work today.
3. Its going to take 14 working days and more than $2000.00 to move our stuff back across the country. At an already expensive time of year.
4. Ive gained 2lbs. (eating cupcakes, but Ive finally settled on a winner for the engagement party)
5. I have to pack up my yarn and needles, and maybe not see them again for months.
6. Baby Cables and Big Ones too...is BIG......I assumed, using the recommended yarn and needles would allow me to get away without swatching. You know what they say about making assumptions...something about making an ass of yourself, in an attempt to save half an hour Ive cost myself a month. Somehow I was only getting 17st per 4in istead of 22 - this explains ALOT!
I spent sunday night, ripping a 75% completed baby cables, when I decided I really did want a jumper that fits this time.

Oh My
Not only havent I been blogging, Ive also hardly turned the laptop on the past few weeks, I havent signed into MSN, Ive barely touched ravelry and my google reader tells me I have over 50 posts to catch up on.
It was while catching up on these posts that I learned the new Twist Collective had been released and my...oh my...oh my some lovely items!!!
The first item to catch my eye was Vivian, and I was not surprised to see she was designed by Ysolda Teague.
I love everything green right now, maybe it was the green, maybe it was the photography, maybe it was the cables but this has gone straight to the queue. (And maybe the yarn as a christmas gift)
Then there was Sweet Pea, surprise surprise another designer I adore...Kate Gilbert 
I have been wanting to make the drops cardigan for some time, but I like this one more! And its in purple the only other colour Ive been obsessing this year...maybe it was the purple, maybe it was the pretty neck scarf who knows...its on the list
and such a bulky knit I could have this finished for our winter!
There are many more I would wear...but maybe not knit and for know these two are my instant heart throbbing faves.
Now to finish Little Birds and Baby Cables before christmas...thats my one and only goal
Goodbye Sydney
Wow, I really bombed on the Nanoblopomo challenge huh?
November has been a crazy month, and it was very overambitious to expect 30 posts, best intentions aside I even pre-wrote a half dozen but never less it was not to be.
ALOT has happened this month, the big one....the decision and work transfer for boy to move back home to Western Australia!!! 14 months after our move to the Eastern States Im packing everything back up again and moving the 4000 km back to the other side of the country.
There is so much to think about and organise both at work and at home, it just really is insane!
All that aside, I’ve finished the body for Baby Cables and might still make the November deadline...but I doubt it.

The cable chart reads from bottom to top, right to left.

Frogs and Horses
I did go to school, I did learn to read, I did learn to check everything before forging ahead...it did not sink it.
The first 20 rows of my lovely baby cables sweater have been frogged during lunch today, its only 20 rows you say but this baby is a real pain to set up for, all the spacing and markers is a nightmare. I was knitting the cables upside down, to those casting on in the near future for this sweater the beginning of the cable is at the bottom of the chart
Its Melbourne Cup day, who is your money on?
I have Zipping and Mad Rush...fingers crossed...my little sister who is a stable hand with a very successful trainer assures me Damien Olivers ride looks good.
