After meeting Kerrie earlier in the week, I was lucky enough to help relieve her of some of her stash today - and it was very hard not to just take the whole box!  There was some really yummy yarn there - but I restrained myself and settled for some Rowan Kid soft and kid classic, some Berrocco Furz and some hand painted Schaeffer yarn.  C sat and stroked it all the way home while working her through the 2001 Kids Special Vogue saying - will you knit that for me?  I am going to have to quit the course just to be able to keep up with her to do list!  Thanks Kerrie - it's great to have another knitting buddy in the area! C played all the time with Kerrie's daughter - although there is 2 years in between them she had a great time - and wants to meet up with her again.  It's looking as though the stitch n bitch idea might actually have a chance of going ahead - apparently there is a prominent ebay vendor in the area as well.  Fingers crossed!

Frida is virtually finished I'm pleased to report.  Although I love how it is turning out, I'm not convinced that it is going to look like the picture in magknits - we'll see.  The yarn I used was also way more than you would have thought - my gauge was right, but I ended up using just over 8 skeins of the Summer Tweed - way ahead of what the yardage would have suggested.  Hmmmmmmm  Never mind - I like it.  Perhaps I'll mail a pic to the designer and see if she can spot what I have done wrong.
