A quick message for my Secret Pal

Dear Pal – just to let you know that hotmail is being over enthusiastic with junk mail at the mo – I’ve changed my settings, but if you don’t hear from me within a couple of days when you mail me, leave a comment here or mail me at my ntl email address. It’s the same as the hotmail one except you replace hotmail.com with ntlworld.com. My questionnaire is done though 😀 Let me know if you can’t find it, but it should be listed in recent posts even if it isn’t on this page.
That is the end of this public service announcement.
In other news, I’m moving on with the shrug, and have nearly finished the first sleeve. It’s not going to be a turtleneck though, so I’m going to play around and experiment. This will be the first time I have made a pattern up, but lets face it, shrugs are a good place to start because they don’t take much work to design for a really basic version. And this will be veeeeryyyy basic 🙂 I’m thinking that I’ll cast off a quarter of the stitches when I get to the arm pit, then change the ribbing to that I’m knitting 3 rows and purling 3 to making it stretch the right way across the back. It might look rubbish though, so I’ll have to be willing to rip back… I’ll let you know 🙂
