yesmy life is plagues by technology, so i try to do as much natural stuff as possible, (if that makes sense), like car boot sales, home made chutnays and jams and of course knitting.
except knitting is a bitch, old women have the manual dexterity of the old geezer from karate kid, all im trying to do is make myself a rainbow orubourus scarf, and a buzzcocks jumper, its not much to ask, what with winter settling in.

Weird thing is she hates knitting. She's a dab hand at cross stich tho. Believe it or not, she teaches it.
oh no. Too much information. I'll shut up now.

I was so impressedlast night at seeing someone (quite young) on the tube knitting. That's sheer quality if you ask me. More people should knit on public transport.

on the trainthis week I sat opposite a lady who got her knitting out. She was not any older than 40 and she was listening to a CD player. It was the funniest thing I had ever seen on the train in ages. When I woke up in Liverpool St an hour later she had knitted about 3 feet of jumper quality knit.
