Today I decided to tackle the pile - bad mistake! 3 bags of junk off to the dustbin, 2 laundry hampers full of odd balls and 1 full of partially knit jumpers etc. The pile looks no different in size but I have rediscovered my copy of windows so I can reinstall it on this machine - that will help when I try to send email and read attachments.
I'm mentally gearing up for the shows. Brighton is next weekend so I've been practicising my cast ons etc. I'm also trying to work out some simple patterns but they're so simple I'm sure there must be a copyright on them!
