And again…
More gloves. This is not like me. But at least this pair is for me, hurrah!
These are Classic Elite ‘Vail’. I think. The ballband is somewhere or other.
I am grumpy, can you tell? I have just wasted an hour of my life once more trying to get Olympic tickets. I live within spitting distance of the stadium and have been madly enthusistic about the event as a whole since, ooooh, running up and down the kitchen like a loony on 6th July 2007 when Jacques Rogge said ‘the city of …London’ (instead of ‘Paris’, as we were all secretly expecting). And I can expect to see – the torch relay. Possibly, if I can be bothered to make the effort, which I might not given the amount of effort I’ve put in trying to get tickets and got nowhere. Ick. I suppose at least Hackney Council planted a cherry tree outside my house to brighten the street up for the influx of visitors.
I am not a serial knitter, unlike someone who might have had a thing for cowls recently. So this multiple glove knitting is making me grumpy too, and it shouldn’t because nobody is making me knit them. I am obvs just grumpy. The rain that we’ve had ever since the drought was announced is not helping, I must admit. To make matters worse, there is another pair of gloves to knit, but I musn’t be grumpy knitting them as they’re for a dear pal who is off to the other side of the world for a New Life. They will be in this:
Quince and Co ‘Finch’ in Honey. Which frankly looks nothing like any honey I’ve ever seen but perhaps it’s some single-pollen artisan honey only available in the US. It does, however, almost-very-nearly match a colour that Orla Kiely uses a lot in her designs, and said pal is a big Orla fan.
See, I’m so grumpy I can’t even be bothered to do links to things and people. But it’s Kay that’s been cowl-obsessed… (to name names).

Sniggers a little. I did wonder if I might be the cowl obsessed one for a minute there, as I cast on a new cowl on Sunday and have completed a few of late. Then I remembered Kay. 
I am half mitt obsessed in Minimochi. I think, let me knit something else, and yet when I look down it’s half mitts and minimochi all over again. I need an intervention!
ah, you see, as far as I know you haven’t knitted 7 of the same cowl, now have you? That is obsessed…
I feel your pain! You could move onto gloves… (wicked grin)
Bah humbug, grouch!!!!! your nearly as grumpy as your rabbit!!! N x
Exactly! She was FURIOUS yesterday because I wouldn’t let her out, but she’d been out all day on Monday when it was rainy and cold and the house was freezing so I was mean and horrible to her yesterday.
Needless to say she is out today and I have been nipped on the ankle for not moving out of her way fast enough (in her opinion).
