It's a sad day
I have come to accept that my beautiful Dundonnell stole is lost. I know I had it on the train back from Scotland; I had it when I went for a sight test on 28 Feb. Perhaps I left it on the bus. My greatest hope is that whoever found it cherishes as much as I did, and realises how lucky they are to have it.
This is the risk, I suppose, with precious, memory-laden handknits that are so readily removable. At least it was loved, and used, very much while it lived with me. I hope it's happy in its new home.

Evidence of absurdity
Weeks ago, Alicia tagged me for a meme that was doing the rounds. You remember the one, 'six strange things' I think it was called.
Well I wracked my brain for days on end, struggling really to come up with anything strange and arriving eventually at the only logical conclusion that I am quite the most normal girl who ever was.
So the tagging lay fallow, the meme went no further. But I did catch something from Alicia and it was far more pernicious.
Because I don’t have anything more important to do than make a queen-sized crochet blanket… like come up with twenty five original designs, for example. On a deadline.
Let's mark this up as items 1-12 in the list of most absurd things about me. I have not yet stopped (the fever will pass, it always does), but I have forced myself to slow down, limit the squares to one per day. Then, when the twenty-five original designs are delivered, I should be ready to join them all together and make the edgings.
Anna, you are absurd.
