First, let me explain why my blog looks different. Again. I got a little carried away earlier today and tried to simply add a ’subscribe with bloglines’ button. Obviously as a website manager I make a terrific knitter. My side bar broke into bits. Literally. I had little floating bits of green all over the place. Try as I might, I could not fix it. Anyhow, on the upside I have added an extreme close up of the Pomatomus at the top. They are finished done and dusted. Well, apart from grafting and weaving in ends!:

I have also added a page where my patterns are going to live, when they are done. I have written the pattern for my latest tea cosy, but you might remember I forgot to photograph it, so this morning I asked the MIL2 to do that for me and email me the photo!  Hopefully that will occur relatively quickly so I can share that with you.

I have just turned the Monkey heel, it is looking lovely if I do say so myself:

This arrived in the mail through the week:

I am going to attempt to knit Print O’ the Wave. The idea is that it will be ready to wear for this year’s Christmas Party. That’s achievable by any standards! I just need to work out how to do an invisible cast on. At the moment it is too stinking hot to do anything but sit here in the dark. Ouch. Why is it as soon as school goes back here in Tassie the heat really kicks in. And we do not have air conditioning anywhere! Just hot, bothered, smelly kids. Blech.

I don’t participate in Saturday Sky, but I am going to treat you today to the view from our dining room:

That’s Launceston folks, with the river and mountains included for your viewing pleasure!
