I'm an English expat constantly struggling to be understood in a different country. I work in the cut throat world trying to bring "YARRR" and "Ne'er-Do-Well" into regular conversation My swear word of choice is Stink Nugget. I'm a yarn snob.

Later suckers!

And now...
The end is near...
And so I face...
the final curtain...

Or something like that anyway.

Picture me, right now. What am I doing? I'm cocking a snoot to 2005 in the US. In about 2 hours, I set off on the trek home to Motherland for Christmas.

Knitting is packed, pressies are packed, I've loaded up the new pod (did I mention this purchase? Its a long story, but I finally cracked) with a crap load of podcasts. (oohhh... pretty...), I'm frantically drying sweaters with a hair dryer so that I can pack them too.

I'll be back soon enough (actually soon enough to be in the US for the very end of 2005 - so yes, I'm a liar).

So, until then, Have your self a merry little... holiday.

Franklin out

p.s. I'm so glad the lunz's won Amazing Race....

Post # 100! Woot!

It appears I have been neglecting my adoring audience for some time, and said adoring audience is getting disguntled. All 2 of them, or 72% if you prefer. It doesn't really matter, the 2 in question are currently recovering from BNAT 7 and I'm so overrun by jealously that they can wait to see my next post :) (And yes, they saw King Kong AND V for Vendetta the bastards...) - for those that don't know, I was hoping to go with them this year, but got sacrificed so they could go. No biggie, I'll live... barely.

How deep is my funk? Pretty deep, it turns out. I'm not sure what has been going on recently, but I've just been feeling blah for no particular reason. What did help was getting a nice fat knitting hit...

Secret Pal 6 is now over, and I got an awesome final package from my spoiler - thank you so much! I now have even more patterns to make from the fab Rebecca magazine, and the kooky Alterknits book. Luckily I have some yummy Rowan Cashsoft DK and dreamy Lantern Moon needles to make stuff with:) I bow to your awesomeness oh newly revealed SP6!



I've also been spending some time doing the obligatory Christmas present shopping in prep for the latest in my treks back to the Motherland. I'm very rapidly running out of time which is rather worrying.

Oh... and work is crazy too (I was supposed to work this weekend, but I'm battling against catching the work lurgy and aforementioned holiday trials)

pah... I'll get around to posting some FOs soon.
