More good news I have heard from the poor person who has got me for SP5 and I have no clue as to who they are not even which country they come from. Iam still waiting patiently for the person I get to spoil Rox is doing such a great job there are over 600 participents this time round.
I did get some knitting done yesterday after all that computer time I started the simple lace shawl pattern for Silkwood

But I couldn't resist doing a swatch for the Agauve Jumper.

Swatch

Ignore the colours as I am just testing for gauge as I think if I just increase the yarn size and a little bit of fiddling as there is no real shaping on it I should be able to upsize it easily.
I also have a confession I couldn't resist any longer and finally ordered Loop d loop and it arrived yesterday,

Couldn't resist

I know there has been a lot of discussion about it on ample knitters and how most of the patterns are made for the very thin well I can understand what they are saying but there are so many inspirational ideas in it and as I very rarely actually knit something from a pattern book and just use them for inspiration I really found this book fantastic.
Oh and my apologies for those who are getting some interesting spelling on my e-mails Poppy has found a new favourite place to sleep.
