After a long day of housework yesterday I sat down to a gorgeous glass of wine (taylors cab sav '05), a giant steak (which seemed to bring the carnivore out of ben, picking it up by the bone to eat it) and some yummy potato cakes and cauliflower cheese. It was a very satisfying way to end a very very busy day!
Today however has been a very slow day, I've been knitting on the couch with my two babies (Jasper and Milly) running around my shoulders and snuggling in my top. They're rats, Jasper is 7 months old and fully grown now, shes grey and white. Where as Milly is 6 weeks old, brown and white. Contrary to her name Jasper is actually a girl, when we bought her we were informed that she was a boy. Hence the choice of name. However some parts never emerged.. and a name change seemed silly as we'd already been calling her Jasper for many months.
Anyways.. too the knitting side of things... Ive now finished my second little frog, and he's on his way to his new home! How exciting! Im now knitting a little hippo, which is quite bigger than they little frog. I'm using 'Sean Sheep' wool in purple and blue. This pattern calls for two strands of wool to be knitted with, I thought it would be hard, but I've knitted half of the body and it seems to be alright at the moment. Just sounds daunting. :P
Anyway I think thats really all to report at the moment, I'll be back soon with how the hippo's coming along.
