When last we spoke I was running around at the end of the summer term, trying to get everything straight before the Summer hols.

Well dear readers the summer hols have been and gone and I am already back at work at the beginning of September – sigh!

It was an….. interesting summer…. The first 4 weeks were spent glued to my armchair knitting furiously on deadlines

I managed to get through the entire  boxed DVD sets of Criminal Minds series 1-5 – so be warned if you cross me I know a lot about serial killers and yet again I don’t have a single thing that I can show you – they are all designs for forthcoming books and magazines and sworn to secrecy – I have loads of things in my Ravelry queue, but not a spare second to knit any of it!

I have managed to get a decent tan ( despite the met office announcing that it was our worst summer in 18 years) and I have been back and forth to the Doc, the physio and the hospital getting a diagnosis of my knee pain.

Apparently I have Crepitus (my hubby just says I am decrepit) and have basically worn away part of the bottom of my tibia – it’s not life threatening – not even very painful and if I follow their instructions it shouldn’t get any worse for many years to come.

Oh and I dyed my hair purple! – bright purple ( Blueberry Hill by Paintbox for those that want to know) I wasn’t sure how school would take it, but both the Principal and the Vice Principal complimented me on it – so I guess they have no objection

I am going to try and blog more often – I miss it, it may not be so much about knitting as I have nothing I am able to show despite my efforts, but I’m sure we can find things ot talk about

Ta ta for now xx oh and I leave you with a picture of my other favourite knitting place ( apart from the armchair)
