I have had a lovely time this weekend so far. Took a trip to Brighton  last night with the Daughter. We visited friends for a Knit and natter (or should that be Knatter?) at the Knit, Sew and Crochet group, http://www.facebook.com/groups/232127993532892/263547230390968/returning home rather late, although the lateness was compounded by roadworks which necessitated us waiting at a red light to be escorted past what turned out to be a resurfacing operation! It was again a fun evening with some interesting 19th C material shown by www.morgaine-le-fay.co.uk .   and nibbles and cakes from Sharon and Claire, (thanking you both very much) and some very interesting conversation, including a lot on napoleonic costume. I continued with my "sock from the toe up" and helped the daughter start a circular cardigan.
Today the shop called so  had to go to a local supermarket and also the lovcal DIY store this am to buy a paste table for the craft fair next weekend. We managed to get a fairly sturdy plastic one which will do very well. 

In the afternoon I made some marmalade and also patched a pair of medieval hose (for a friend) which suffered during the last reenactment season. I think I made a good job of it even if I say so myself! I also washed some material ready to cut out  some napoleonic costume. We will now see what tomorrow brings.

This is the latest project which I started today. I have never made a sock from the toe up so am having a go. I used a figure of 8 cast on method which I have also never tried before and am quite impressed with myself. I will be continuing until I have a sock, but whether it will be long or short I don't know. I have not made my mind up yet and it will probably depend on how much yarn it takes.
However over the next 10 days or so I need to make some marmalade and jam for the craft fair too, hmm I had better get cracking!
