I should be uploading it to the new <a href=\"http:\/\/scifiville.typepad.com\/knitcast\/\">Knitcast Blog<\/a> very soon!<\/p>\n<p>Knitting wise I&#8217;ve cast on for the second sleeve of Klaralund. We&#8217;re going to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scifiville.com\/madrid.shtml\">Madrid<\/a> next week so I hope to complete the sweater then. I&#8217;ve also knit the second in a series of pink fluffy scarves to go with my pink coat. The new one is made from two balls of Sirdar Fizz in shade 0792. I also still have some pink Squiggle that wendy gave me as a Secret Pal gift , some pinky and white varigated eyelash by Online and some Colinette SilkyChic in a pink shade.<\/p>\n<p>Next <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scifiville.com\/cardiffsnb.shtml\">Cardiff S&amp;B<\/a> should be this Thursday, 7.30pm at a Shot in the Dark! I just have to check that the cafe is still open this week. They&#8217;re being refurbished sometime. <\/p>\n<p>I hope you all had a great Valentines Day. Andy gave me a new addition to my Jellicat collection &#8211; they&#8217;re a range of very cool soft toys. The new one is a grey and white Pickles the Cat. I&#8217;m making him a new bag to replace his favourite one which is now pretty decrepid! It&#8217;s going to be ready for him to use in Madrid. I bought some black 100% cotton dobby cloth from John Lewis in Cribbs Causeway yesterday. <\/p>\n<p>I also bought some gifts for my Secret Pal 4! That reminded me that I hadn&#8217;t yet posted the answers to the SP4 questionnaire. Sorry Secret&nbsp; Pal!<\/p>\n<p>Here are my answers<\/p>\n<p>1 &#8211; Are you a yarn snob?<br \/>Yes, I am. Although I love novelty yarns&nbsp; for scarves I prefer natural fibres for everything else.<\/p>\n<p>2 &#8211; Do you spin? Crochet?<br \/>No.<\/p>\n<p>3 &#8211; Do you have any allergies? (smoke, pets, fibres, perfume, etc.)<br \/>I do have allegies but I take antihistamines. I have four cats so go figure!&nbsp; I don&#8217;t like smoke.<\/p>\n<p>4 &#8211; How long have you been knitting?<br \/>I learn as a child but didn&#8217;t enjoy it. I picked it up again in late 2001 and have knitting ever since.<\/p>\n<p>5 &#8211; Do you have an Amazon or other online wish list?<br \/>No, but I can create one! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>6 &#8211; What&#8217;s your favourite sent? (for candles, bath products etc.)<br \/>I love vanilla and rose. I prefer a Moroccan style rose really. Coconut is nice too and jasmine. My favourite candle at the moment is a carrot cake scented one!<\/p>\n<p>7 &#8211; Do you have a sweet tooth?<br \/>Oh yes! \ud83d\ude42 I love milk chocolate. Especially love Mexican hot chocolate. I also like caramel, mint, coconut. I&#8217;m not a fan of boiled sweets or fruity flavours. I don&#8217;t like peanut butter. <\/p>\n<p>8 &#8211; What other crafts or Do-It-Yourself things do you like to do?<br \/>I sew clothes and accessories. I also bead and make jewellery. What else? I&#8217;ve recently been having a go at card making. Fairly simple stuff involving pre-made cards and envelopes and card stick ons\/stickers. I love dragonflies and butterflies for these.<\/p>\n<p>I have to go to bed now so will finish off this tomorrow!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #555555;\"><span lang=\"EN\" style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #555555;\"><span lang=\"EN\" style=\"font-size: 11pt;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #555555;\"><span lang=\"EN\" style=\"font-size: 11pt;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve finally finished the first edition of Knitcast &#8211; the podcast about knitting.
