attishoo

this always happens in the run up to Christmas, trying to do to much and not chilling for a bit.  I can feel a cold advancing and I know I am going to feel like rubbish tomorrow, but I;d like another night cap and to extend some precious Time Off  for a few moments more...... But before I forget, I learned a few things today, the US call a UK triple stich a double, which might explain the problems I had following that English pattern the other day  having been taught in the US.  I found this out by pure chance when looking for more squares to make for my friends's baby blanket, on Ravelry, thanks to someone's insightful comments.  Thanks whoever you are for raising that small but important point.  Must look into some more.

The other thing I learned today is that I really like Cost Plus.  American friends had mentioned it and I made a point of going there today, not only did I get some Mcvities MILK chocolate biscuits, I got some Penguins for my husband for Chrimbo.  There are only a couple of things food wise I miss, but the other day I had a real Mcvities craving and the American cookies don't cut the mustard..... Cool Shop.  I also scored a few secret Chrimbo presents for myself for my family to give me....

Right, gandt then bed.....
