Naughty Girl
Today instead of doing things at home I went on a little trip to Islington and visited Loop the knit salon. Not a simple local yarn shop no it is a knit salon.While I was walking my daughter to school I was thinking about what do I really need to knit for myself. Then it hit me, a new scarf to go with my new coat that I got for my birthday. The coat is a strange colour, is it brown or is it very
dark purple. I was sure I would find something matching in Loop in an interesting yarn. I did find these Laines du Nord yarn called Madras. It is a wool, viscose, polyamid mix. During lunch and on the way home I managed to knit up an entire ball. That tells me that I cast on to many stitches. The scarf needs to be skinnier so that the four balls will turn into a longer scarf.
Loop also had the latest issue of Interweave Knits. I was wondering whether the postman had already brought it to my house.While there I bought myself the latest Rebecca baby + kids magazine.
Back home I got the new Simply Knitting from my local news agent. He had kindly reserved a copy for me.
I had never been to that part of London and actually wandered around. Driving through doesn't really count. They have some very nice shops there, I was very taken by a French Bakery. Finally some proper continental bread! How I have missed that. Usually when I arrive at my Mums that's all I want; freshly baked bread, with a hard crust.
When I finally made it home, after picking up the child from school.Perry was feeling left out, he was very hungry and anyway where had I been. When he is upset he goes and beats up his toy or attacks something else.
Well he had a go at his toy mouse and at the same time whacked our Christmas tree a bit.
Perry look the 'mouse is on the floor, look again it is on the floor. Oh and in case anybody is worried about Perry, I only have a few glass Christmas Ornaments and they have all been put much higher up than he can reach. The only problem would be if he knocks the whole tree over.

The last time I was in London, March, 2003, I went to Islington for the first time and FELL IN LOVE. I thought, if I was ever had the opportunity to live in London I would either live there or in Dulwich!! (La,de, daaaa!)
Wish I could have been there. French Bakery sounds divine. Next you are in LA go to the La Brea Bakery. Bread to DIE for!!
I must visit Loop next time I am home - and with a french bakery in the neighborhood, thats an extra treat to look out for. Perry looks like he is having a good time around the tree! :))
Carol.
