that does it every time for me.

The end result of life's daily pain and suffering, trials and failures, tears and laughter, readings and listenings is an accumulation of wisdom in its purest form.

I saw an amazing play about Belarus and got the Marilyn Monroe film collection for just a tenner.

Cool. 8)

My LAC has a contact at Bunnings (hardware store), apparently they are looking for night-fill workers. So I am going there to hand my resume in. And I also got some food vouchers. Desperately in need of those.

A knitting technique- I know Dunc's use of the  :eyebrows: probably made it sound like something much more interesting  ;)

i'm really glad to hear that - i'm planning on an entrelac something, and was dreading it turning into the technique from hell.  does it get boring, though?  and what yarn did you use?  people seem to favour the Noro type thing, for the colour runs.

have you ever tried broomstick lace?  sitting there with a 25mm needle stuck vertically between my legs did nothing for me at all (although the scarf looks lovely).   :-\

I've only done a small test piece in some left over yarn I'd laying around so far- its one of those things that are much easier to understand by actually doing, rather than trying to puzzle it out just reading the instructions.   It seems much slower going to start with than a lot of other techniques which, if it doesn't improve could prove irritating, however I've heard that you can speed it up by learning to knit backwards (removes all the turns required for the short rows).

I haven't picked out an actual project I want to use the technique for yet, but I'll probably go for something with a similar colour change as noro- although will probably go for something a little softer- Kureyon is a little too rough for something that goes around the neck.  I do have 4 balls of red/black karaoke waiting for the right project so might try that out?

I never got round to trying broomstick lace, but I have worked with one of those huge dildo type hooks before (20mm)- that was fun considering the next project I worked on used a 1.25mm hook. :laugh:
