I went to Camberwell Market on Sunday just to buy a button for this:

It’s the Duck Egg Blue Hat or something. I’m feeling too crap right now to look it up.

After spending half an hour or so this morning taking photos of myself by holding the camera out beside me while leaning on a wall, or lying on the floor (and getting terrible pics) I remembered The Head. I bought The Head to avoid having to do contortions like that. But I have a cold, and my brain isn’t working too well right now.

I’m certainly not up to working on the tea cosy at the moment:

And the Firestarter pattern just makes my head hurt. So I started another sock. One with a plain, simple cable down the side. Plain and simple is all I want right now.

I managed to break my knitting basket while moving furniture recently. These plastic rolling baskety shelves were lolling about, being a waste of space, so I claimed them as a temporary replacement.

And I’m finding the arrangement suits me very well. I can keep a different project on each shelf/basket and my tools and pattern instructions on the top. Balls of wool I’m working with can sit and unravel in the lowest basket without tangling with anything or upsetting the cat.

Pity it’s so ugly. And not very portable. But it’s got me thinking…
