I would post a picture of my latest project, but I am ashamed to say that it was a disaster, when it really should have been so straightforward.

I have a good excuse for my distraction. Last week, Col and I took the week off and my sister's three kids came to stay with us over half term. The week flew by in a fun blur of Temple Run, Monopoly and chlorinated swimming pools. By the end of each day I barely had the energy to lift my knitting needles and when I did, it went so very wrong...Firstly, I slipped a stitch and hoped it would go away (it didn't). Second, I messed up on some pretty basic 2x2 rib (not pretty). Third, I lost one of the knitting needles for two days.

It was not my finest hour.

Meanwhile, Col has been nagging me to finish his scarf, but I think he should be grateful that I didn't pick it up last week...

As for last week's attempt, it's about to be frogged! Here's to a more productive crafty week.
