Scarf number 7 is almost complete and more wool has been ordered.

Might get another 7 done before the fair.

Do you have any photos?

I have a number of blankets complete... and a huge super king sized one on the go at the moment... (400 stitches on size 6.5mm needles with between 4 and 14 threads going at once. currently 4 plus some silk reclaimed from a sari)... here are 3 of them. I should really be knitting them on much larger needles but I didn't have any to hand at the time. Since then I have purchased one of the kits, so can interchange the needles now. They were all knitted on 115cm length flexible wire needles with stoppers on the end

Lovely.

I Crochet, cannot knit to save my life but @hopless500 does.

Not a brilliant photo but these were the first few and this

Is the one I have been doing on the train this morning.

@hopless500 and I are doing a Xmas craft fair in December so we are frantically making stuff at every opportunity.

Cowls are next on the list.

They look great, they really do. I love the last one in particular.

The blanket I am currently knitting is the best (IMO and my OH's opinion). I don't actually have any pictures of it at the moment. that is a task for the weekend when I stop mid row (or join the long wires together to make a 2.3m long needle and lay it across the bed to work out how much longer it needs to be. I think I am a little over 2/3rds of the way, but that means around another 3-4 feet of knitting to go yet and I already can't pick it up even before the rib incident! But the wool in this one, is soft merino wool and alpaca and various other expensive threads run with silk in them - it has always been for our bed and we have been spending a little each month on expensive wool to fund it. The colour scheme is autumnal (browns, red, yellow, greens, golds, a little black and some creams). Photo at the weekend hopefully!

Last time I knitted something was at uni - a pink jumper ... one of those ones with huge needles. It still took ages .... I can't imagine how long any of your examples would take me to do...

I've given up smoking... it's going really well apart from the actual giving up bit.

Just passed a self-gratification artist, while i was on my bike, with no lights on. I had lights on why didn't he?

think you answered that in the first part of post

It's easy, I give up every night no problem

It's back

Did anyone try anything exciting to take their mind off their cravings.... I rode a bike and tidied my bedroom

I used the spare time to experiment with feeling poorly.
