>* Wednesday Night Bullet Point Post
So this is what I’m:
- Knitting – lacy nightie from IK in Cleckheaton Bamboo. Mine will be more cami than nightie.
- Loving – the bamboo yarn – wonderful drape, lovely sheen, sort of slinky feel.
The test will be how it washes up because I could see this being fabulous next to baby skin. - Trying – Russian Joins as a way of coping with the slippery yarn and working on circs. So far so good!
- Quilting – not so much. Was going to do some hand piecing at Goldfield’s Quilters today but when I got there at 9.40 there was no sign of anyone so I went home and reorganised the smallest bedroom instead.
I know they all turned up later but just for a moment I was convinced I’d got the week wrong. Oh well – next time. - Painting – my bathroom is now green to match the bedroom. Not being one to rush these things, it’s only taken me 11 months to get back to it. I did the cutting -in last February.
- Reading -just started The Book Thief. Too early to comment yet
- Watching – Blackpool on DVD [ David Tennant yummo ]
- Looking forward to – the Australia Day holiday weekend and visits from Chris/Maz and Nadie … also the Fryerstown Antique Fair also this weekend – which is why Chris and Maz are coming up.
- Feeling sad about – the fact that Heath Ledger’s life has ended so tragically and so early

>sorry we missed you, and only just -there were 3 pp there by 9.45! Sounds like you found something useful to do anyway
>My brain ran the title and all together and read the first couple of lines as “Fly by Nightie”!
>Short and to the point – very sad about Heath – glad someone else takes as long as we do to fonish painting!
>Oh Alwen, I think you just named the project for me!! LOL I’m going straight over to Ravelry to change the project details
>I know what you mean about Heath Ledger…so sad.Now I’m off to come up with my own bullets for tonight’s post. Here’s hoping the muse drops something on me soon…
>The whole Heath Ledger thing has made me sad, too. It’s such an awful waste, isn’t it? So young. Thanks for all the goatsy/cat pix below! Love ’em!
>I’ve liked the bamboo yarn when I’ve seen it in stores. It sounds like a great choice for your nightie.
>Sharing your sadness over Heath Ledger…I’ve tagged you Susan – details are in today’s blog post :)Hope things are going well! Best to the caprine crowd 🙂
>I made some socks out of bamboo yarn and it washes up so soft. It would be very good next to baby skin. It’s a little too soft for socks, not a lot of stitch definition. The nightie looks beautiful. I would totally wear it as a camisole under a sheer blouse.
>Love your knitting project! For that matter, I love to knit! LOL!Susan
>love your lists!! the bedroom looks great! 🙂 I also wanted to let you know that I’m hosting a recipe contest over on my blog – go check it out if you get a chance! :)http://homegrownrose.typepad.com/reclaimingthehome/
