I've not had much time to knit over the last week or so, apart from doing a single 6-row pattern repeat a few evenings back.
That was not a good evening - just before I put the knitting down I realised that I'd made a big mistake. Can you spot it?
Well there are supposed to be 5 rows inbetween each cable row - but not in this photo!
Having worked a further 5 rows of 138 stitches since the offending mis-placed cable row, there was no other option. Tonight I ripped the front and started it over again... Grrr!
Anyway, I received a weird shape parcel this week. It was something I'd bid for on ebay and then completely forgotten about. (It's been a very intense week at work!) 
Look - it's my very own niddy-noddy at last, and with a mound of free fleece too!
I guess I'd better get that drop spindle out sometime soon and actually try some spinning.
Right now is probably a really good time as the weather is awful - high winds and almost constant rain - and it's forecast to carry on for a good few days yet. Bleugh!

As far as Twister goes (more a waltz at the moment, I think) slow and stead wins every time. At least, that's what I try to tell myself.
The niddy noddy is a lovely piece of craftsmanship. Good luck with the drop spindle. I tried last year a few times and gave up very quickly.
I bought a niddynoddy from the same place! - doesn't Ted White pack his parcels up well!!
I got a drop spindle from him too, but I'm not doing very well. On the Ravelry trip (jan 12th) SarahW had wonderfully dainty spindles - in comparison. She was quite horrified by the size and weight of the one I'd bought.
