Made a start

I started on my sweater. I decided to make a start on Sunday night only to discover that it's been so long since I last did any knitting that I couldn't recall how to cast on! I dug out my knitting books to help me but I did spend some time with a pair of empty needles staring at the diagrams. Eventually the penny dropped.

I cast on, did two rows, and then discovered I had miscalculated and was doing moss stich instead of rib so had to unravel it all. After going out for a walk I started again last night, in front of some of Virgin 1's Star Trek offerings, and I now have the beginnings of a sweater.

Tonight I will be at the Counting House for dark_kitsune's birthday. Tomorrow I must really start to pull together what I need for the Lanark medieval festival in a few weeks time as I will be going a-Viking.

I also must make a mention of Glasgow's Pagancon which will be on August 29th http://www.pagancon.co.uk/ It looks to be a very good day.
