Kites and sites ...

The boy and I are on Easter hols this week, and have decided to be active, and get out and about in Scotland since our RSPB membership cards came in this week. Today we went to Stirling in search of nature. We spotted Hamish the Highland coo in a woollen mill next to Callander, surrounded by 3 coach loads of tourists armed with cameras. He just loved the attention... We also stopped at Aberfoyle (great toilets) and popped up to the David Marshall Lodge . A lovely place with virtually tame birds at the seed hangers and tables; chaffinches, coal tits, siskins etc. Really enjoyable, spoiled only by the completely inappropriate noise-fest that is Go-Ape! (exclamation point part of their logo ... 'nuff said). But the best place we visited was Argaty Red Kites - it was unexpected because we only stopped in as it was on the road we happened to be on. We timed it perfectly, arriving just after they'd been fed. There were lots of Red Kites flying and diving about. Click the pics abov...

Choccy-brown iPod cover with pink felt bounding rabbit. Buy here for US$12.35 / £6.95 Choccy brown retro iPod Nano cover with orange apple. Buy here US$8.75 / £4.95 Nautical but nice iPod Nano cosy with red anchor. Buy here US$8.75 / £4.95 Smiley sunshine iPod mini cover. Buy here US$10.95 / £5.95 These are a few of the covers I have designed and made for iPods. There are currently lots more in my Etsy store , and even more 'in production' I can make them to fit most mp3 players, phones etc - just email me so if you see one you like but you have a different iPod/mp3, phone, or anything else you fancy just let me know! I did a lot of research into the best design and found that the 'sock' was much better for ease of use whilst on the move. 100% cotton was the best yarn to knit with as it doesn't stretch or lose it's shape. This means that your cover will stay snug-fitting all the time. Another reason I decided to go with 100% cotton is that this will not scr...

And so it continues ...

And so the right front has been frogged this evening... New plan. To knit a few inches - match the dropped stitch ladders with the left front and drop them early. Then later on at the reverse shaping stage where I believe I should be dropping a stitch in accordance with the pattern I can simply run my eye down to double check that it is in fact correct. My only worry now lies with row that states: "cast off 3 stitches at beg. of next row" I've been listening to my first podcast tonight on iTunes - Cast On by Brenda Dayne - brilliant! The boy is away at an [enforced by his work] evening class every tuesday for the next 12 or so weeks so I have taken over the 'couple couch' with knitting and listened to knitting radio. Very cool! Episode 10 "Bitch and Bitch" she talks specifically about the whole Sew Fast Sew Easy / Stitch n Bitch saga. Very interesting. What else have i been up to this evening - well I frogged my hat - bollocks'ed it up. I seem to hav...
