I had hoped to spend some time tonight quietly knitting on a project inspired partly by
todayiamadaisy and partly by having lost a beret somewhere or other, and partly by there being seven small balls of wool and a large one kicking around making an nuisance of themselves in the spare room. For a non-knitter - that is, I can, but I hardly ever do - I'd made a promising start, I thought, but I've just come to the dispiriting realisation that I've misunderstood the instructions and have cast on too few stitches and will have to start all over again - and I loathe casting on. Botherbotherbother.
On the slightly more cheerful side, it's New Moon today - so it's a new lunar month as well as a new solar-calendar one - two new months in one!
Neutral news is that the
Year of Pulses continues, but isn't doing so well this week - all I have to show is a mixed vegie curry with chickpeas. Maybe I should get ambitious and try making tempeh.
