Another fine lunch

After the dog walk yesterday, we had lunch at The Zeus Restaurant. It's years since I've eaten there and things have changed a lot. There's more dining room and the place is light and airy compared to the dark, pokey dive of 10 years ago. The one thing that hasn't changed is the excellent food.

The reason for choosing the Zeus was because it's in the same town as the 'Wool-n-Things' shop. MWNN is so pleased with his shawl, he's commissioned two more pieces

• a throw for his computer chair with a pocket for a back support cushion.
  
• a cotton yamulke, or a short beanie to cover his bald spot.

'Wool-n-Things' didn't have any yarn that he liked for the throw but they did have some neutral cotton for the hat.

Finally, today is 's birthday.



For bendy1 - just because. And for gillo - , it really does help.

TGIF

Here's picture of the finished shawl for MWNN. He specified no fringe so it's longer than the pattern's 60 inches by about a foot.

Huge thanks to my Live Journal buddies, petzipellepingo and kathyh for their help with sourcing more Homespun yarn. There's a shipment on its way from e-bay in the US that's working out slightly cheaper than my UK supplier and they have more colours.

Last night was my first night at the local knitting group KTOG where I took my problem of piecing my blankie together and started knitting a cape.

In other news, I enjoyed Torchwood on Wednesday night. Three episodes in and I'm still watching is a great improvement over last season.
