Knitting

i've finished my Stepping Stones jacket finally

here is my size 0 sylph like body modelling it!!!

I have been being very wicked again and buying yarn. so here are lots of photos.

Debbie Bliss Pure Cashmere. A huge saving in the sale at Stash of Chester. Think I'm going to knit a Koolhaus hat in this if its the right yarn.

This is cash/silk lace weight from Vixx at Wildfibres Etsy. to be used of a Branching out scarf

This is pure wool for an amazing £1 per ball. from New Lanark Mill. Its for a surprise so news of it when its knitted up and the recipient has received it.

Now Some W.I.P's

V- Neck vest top in Rowan Pure wool. hopefully this one will hold its shape!!!

CATS PAW LACE Scarf. tHE CATS IT SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE ITS RUN IN A STARIGHT LINE! bUT MY CAT HAS SPLODGED ACROSS THE SCArf

And finally, I forgot I bought some Laceweight Merino Seacell from Hipknits sale. I also had a money off code so I got it for £7.

ITS EITHER FEAST OR FAMINE IN THE PHOTO DEPT! THAT WILL PROBABLY BE IT for weeks now!!!!

Things arent too good on the FM front for a change!!! I was struggling very badly with the exhaustion and for the past 2 weeks the pain has been creeping up as well. I think I've over done it as yesterday was hell. I went to art class came home and went to bed. I felt like I had flu' My skin was and still is sore to touch, I ached and burned all over and I was just totally exhausted. I think this is a flare as over the weekend hubby did more decorating. He did behind the bookcase so it was over and done with and we wouldnt have to empty or move it again. he unusually for him, he's a perfectionist when it comes to decorating, only did the top bits that you see! Good job we're not planning on moving!! its like painting round the piano!!! I helped empty the books and china and stuff from the cabinets. Well I managed 5 trips to the kitchen and that was me done. Josh did the rest! Then Monday I spent the whole day on and off putting the books back whilst Sam filled the china cupboards . This is what did me in. I've been so sore I havnt found a place to lie in bed! My hips are murder so I find lying on my sides painful, my heels are burning and painful so lying on my back hurts! I tried my front, but then my knees and feet hurt!! And this is in a waterbed so good job it wasnt an ordinary matress! I've just rested the last 3 days. Its all I can do. No swimming, no outings on my scooter. I've just stayed in, been on the computer till my shoulders and neck fire up, knitted a bit till my hands and shoulders fire up and then given up and rested on the bed!!I still made myself get dressed in soft clothes, trackies. coz shlouching around in PJ's reminds me of when I was severely depressed and I aint going down that road ever again!!!

anyway I feel much more cheered up today. I'm sat here typing, listening to U2-my fave album of the mo is their greatest Hits 1990-2000. A mix of most of my fave tracks.

I've made contact with more FM sufferers via the Angel Yarns Forum so have been PM'ing merrily!and my dear friend Chezza whom I met via the Stitchlinks forum posted me a little pressie which arrived yesterday and cheered me up greatly. just a note book and pen from a nearby animal sanctuary, but it wouldnt have mattered if it was a pack of chewing gum. It just the thought that counts and the surprise esp when one is feeling down.

On the home front. Sam is coming to the end of his home visit. I'm really going to miss him. he's been such a help to me whilst I've been bad. At first he drove me bonkers as he was in typical student mode, going to bed at 3am, falling out of bed at 1pm and lounging around on the computer till 4pm when he decided to get showered and dressed!! But every day hes' emptied the dishwasher for me and yesterday he went up to the local shops and post office on some errands for me which was a great help.
Hubby will miss being woken up by doors slamming at 3am!!! Sam hasnt learnt to close doors quietly yet!!!
In the house we're preparing for the most hated festival in the Jewish calender Passover. Luckily the cleaner is doing most of the cleaning. I just cant manage it any more although I did manage to wash the paintwork on the landing on Sunday. thats my whole contribution!! I've just ordered loads of minced fish to make gefilte fish and fried fish(BTW the photos on Wiki are discusting!!). Next comes the butchers! Then the rest of the Passover shopping. Its so expensive. They purposely put prices up. You have to buy the food with a special rabbinic seal saying the food is kosher for Passover and they bang the prices up coz they've got you. The food over Passover is gross! You have to eat unleavened bread so the great Rabis of old came up not with pitta bread or chappatti style BREAd. But Matzah! cardboard that doesnt fill you up and constipates you!!! Ah well these things are sent to try us. What I do know for sure is I will put weight on as its all sugar and eggs and potatos.
Right I'm off to knit
