Knitting!

I haven't posted in such a long time, and I wanted to post a picture but I don't have one but I really didn't want to delay in writing. So you get this without a picture. You will survive.

So my Easter was mixed. Kinda boring. Mum and Dad and Amy went away, Darren and Claire and I stayed in Chch. Exciting highlights were making hot cross buns with Claire on Friday. Hers turned out very well, mine were a little on the flat side - though mine were proper with fruit and hers had chocolate chips in them (blasphemy! ;) And spending the day with Beth on easter Sunday, we made bread... and it was very nice. I couldn't find the normal beer bread recipe I use (though right this second I realised I may have actually posted it on the blog way back when) so I just grabbed a random one off the net and it was all sugary, because it was American and Americans put sugar in a lot of things. But as a sweet loaf it was really nice!

Also other exciting news is it was Claire's birthday on Monday. She turned 18! Happy Birthday to Claire! I had a lovely lunch with her and her friend Amelia, then they went to get their nails and hair done but I can't afford those kinds of luxuries! Then we had a family dinner and a roast pork, which is something I hadn't had in a very long time. It was very nice. Oh! And I should say Amy with Mum's help made Claire the most amazing cake. Hehe not to ruffle feathers but it was a huge subway roll. I'll definitely post a picture here if I can get one.

Also I've been continuing my Grey's Anatomy watching and finished the second season. There was an episode where Meredith and Izzy knit, so this inspired me to learn how to knit. My Mum is an amazing knitter so I was sure I had a genetic advantage. So I went round to her house, stole some of her needles and started practicing on the one scrap of wool I could find (it was Easter Friday so the shops were closed and I couldn't buy wool). I taught myself to cast on, and purl from the internet and I'm actually quite proud of my progress. I then went a bought some wool on Saturday, though it is actually yucky cheap acrylic stuff, but good enough for me to practice on. Then I'm going to knit a sweater! Or maybe a hat. Or maybe some baby clothes. I will keep you posted.

Have a nice day y'all.
