Bad Timing

I belong to the Six Sox Knitalong Group on Yahoo and these are the latest project with a Harry Potter theme. I wish I had waited a few days before beginning the Hagebutte socks as that yarn would have been perfect for these. I've agonised over pulling them out and starting again but I get demotivated too easily with set backs. I'm doing no more to them for the time being and shall decide what to do when these are finished.

This yarn colour is hardly appropriate for the Harry Potter Horcrux them - pretty peach and lemon with a fluffy feel but it's a beautiful yarn, so easy to knit and soooo soft. I love it. I would have liked to have these socks finished by Thursday to put in Alice's easter parcel but I really don't have the time to sit and knit all the day. Oh well!

Yarn: Natural Dye Studio 50% Alpaca 50% Merino.

Needles: 5" Brittany Birch in 2.75 mm

Pattern: From Six Sox Knit Along

I've never really liked the tiles in my bathroom and last week whilst cleaning the shower I got a bit carried away and decided it would be easier to chip all the tiles off and retile instead of just replacing the grout. WHY DID I DO THAT? It wasn't until I got past the point of no return that I realised the tiles are fitted behind where the cubicle joins the wall and the cubicle needs to be removed to complete the job - not something I can do myself. Damn!
