It's not quite a month is, but never mind. How am I doing?

( Summary: mostly good. Cut for waffle )

I never used to be one for resolutions, or for new year at all - but now I have a husband and all that, and this year I was tempted by two resolutions.

Firstly, I'm giving up yarn until October. These are the rules of the diet; it's a general phenomenon, even sparking off a new community noyarnforayear (but I don't have enough stash for a year.) It specifically mentions sock yarn as an exemption, but I've never made sock yarn - I'm waiting to decide what I'll use instead. Also, I'm using any gift as an exemption, rather than just specifically requested ones.


Secondly, I have lots of usericons, and it's my intent to go through them all and use them all in posts. I'm not sure how well it'll work, but it's an idea.

Benedict's picked out a couple of patterns he'd like me to make for him. If I could get to Arbury Court or the town centre, I could buy the yarn I need for about a fiver. As it is, I can't leave the house. Anyone fancy a trip for me? He wants sky blue acrylic dk, 500g or red acrylic aran, 500g.

Ah, never nmind, there's the postman bringing the yarn for my new top, so I'll do that first and his next.

UPDATE; he's decided that he'll have a moss stitch jumper in a sort of black with coloured flecks yarn I already had. My top can wait, he's been waiting long enough. (And so has Col, I've not forgotten, I've just lost the pattern for his jumper.)

Yo, xanna, you like these pictures

this is the cutest thing ever! It's even better than the DNA scarf.
