My stress levels are through the roof this week. Never ever cross a cross Roobeedoo!
There was the lump scare, and the ongoing cough. FL now has some medication to dry out his lungs, but it hasn’t kicked in yet so it was another sleepless night.
But there have also been the aborted attempts to have central heating installed. A saga which began in February / March last year. I won’t bore you with the details but it involves approx 5 sub-contractors who failed to communicate with each other or with us, and a current stand-off where we are being told if we don’t switch energy supplier within 15 days the whole application will be cancelled. My temper is very very short and my principles sorely tested: energy-saving central heating or an ethical electricity supplier – how to choose?! WHY to choose?! Just do something which means we don’t have to wear our coats and hats indoors! And we have to promise to live here for 12 months after the heating is installed. That’s a big assumption to make: that FL will still be alive in 12 months, especially as we are all freezing to death!
So lets not talk about that anymore. Instead lets cast on for the Lace Ribbon scarf from the latest Knitty. Lovely! Hipknits sockweight super-soft handspun merino in a calming shade of lavender, from the stash. Knit it until the wool runs out.

Grrrr. Love the calming lavender though.
The lace Ribbon Scarf is my fave pattern too. Good idea to use Hipknits sockweight. It will look lovely in that...

Breathe petal, breathe! People are rubbish, and contractors are rubbish but that yarn is gorgeous, and sets the balance right in the world after all the poo. But you will of course need more yarn to keep redressing the balance...
