Here's a photo of the finished Cardigan - It's a rubbish photo but it's a rubbish cardigan so I suppose it's fitting. I haven't blocked it yet, I'm hoping that it will look a bit better after I 've done that. Ellie seemed to like it though. ;o)

I didn't check my views for ages then found out I'd acheived this goal and totally broken it as well. It has 605 views which I really don't understand beause it's just a blurry picture I took at the SLF gig I was at earlier this year, but yay for crossing off another thing on my list. Hopefully soon I'll get round to taking pictures of the knitting I've done :o)

8. Organise a holiday for a group of friends.

I've realised I'm not keeping with at all up to date so I'm starting to now. The two significant things I've crossed off my blog are...

4. Visit Amsterdam
8. Organise a holiday for a group of friends.

Things I've learnt are...

1. That Amsterdam is beautiful, so many things that I find interesting a lot of what I didn't get to see.
2. Organising holidays sucks and I'm never going to do it for a group of people again. I'm gonna stick to 2, 3 people tops in future, it's so much easier to sort out when there are only 2 of you.
3. I can explore a foreign city by myself without getting lost, mugged, stranded or any of the other things that my imagination things can happen when you don't know the city or the language.
4. Camp dutch people with cute dogs will try and help you if you look lost.
5. If you're going to trek miles to go to a museum check the closing time before you leave ;o)
