The Best Of Friends

How perfect is Koigu for Charlottes web!!!! Very, if you ask me. We're all getting along just swell as long as I concentrate, and stop and count stitches at the end of every pattern row.

I love watching the colours unfolding - just magic.

Yesterday I learnt a valuable lesson, which I should have learnt a few months ago and didn't. That is, it's not good to do pattern work when in a room full of chatting people. Next time I go to SSK I will be taking mindless knitting. Really mindless knitting. I did in fact take such knitting yesterday, but decided in my infinite wisdom, that I would 'just do a couple of rows of Charlotte, to satisfy myself'. 2 hours later and 3 rows ripped out very carefully, and it was time to go and the mindless knitting hardly ventured out of the bag.....

On Friday night I had a rare night out with a girlfriend. We went to see one of my best friends perform. She's a celloist with the Brandenburg Orchestra, and at this performance she was doing a solo on the Gamba - an instrument she has had to learn to play only recently. She's a star, and the performace was just wonderful.
