Well, it's been a busy weekend. On Saturday afternoon my yarn was delivered for my Pioneer top. Saturday night was spent not in some swanky club being plied with expensive drinks by cute boys, but infact sat on my friends couch watching the golden compass and swatching like mad (and also curling my hair). Turns out to even come close to the right gauge, i need to use 5.5mm needles, compared to the 3.75 it says! Why oh why can UK yarn people not make and sell a cheap sportweight yarn? Come on people, there must be money in it! Needless to say it's coming out quite loose, almost lacy, as you can see here:
Still, nice to wear over vest-tops in the summer.
In other news, Kita (my horse) has lost about 25kg so far on her diet and exercise regime. This is great because I've found a really good dressage instructor but in order to get lessons I need to take my horse to her yard and (to put it bluntly) I'd be embarassed by the state she's in at the moment.
I've got 3 days left of working this week, and then on sunday I'll be stewarding at a show at Abram Hall Riding Club. Can't wait!
By the way, if anyone knows of something i can put in my hair to use with curling tongs to make curls stay in for more than 5 minutes, let me know!
