Nigel Pargetter - you snob

First Archers post. Nigel really annoys me. Such a misogynistic snob. "Lizzie, we Pargetter's have always sent our children to boarding school". But Lizzie doesn't want to do this. Will Nigel listen? I doubt it he always seems to get his way...

Ok scrap that... 12 minutes later (whilst Lizzie tells stall holders "you're not to distribute your leaflets here...") Nigel has a chat with David and came to the conclusion that Lizzie should look for another school for the children.

I still got a feeling that this won't be the last we hear about sending the Pargetter children to boarding school, but at the moment Lizzie 1 - Nigel 0

Fresh beginnings with fibre

I've started many a blog, posted a couple of times and then decline to pursue it any further. I've reached the conclusion that may be combining my passion for knitting (and the odd bit of crochet) with blogging will ensure that I keep this going for a bit longer.

Aims, aims - I like to have aims, achievements that I want to fulfil with this task (and which inevitably I will look back upon and realise I never reached). Firstly, I use Ravelry and though it is a great site I would like to create a diary of my projects that is a bit more in depth and able to reach a wider audience. Secondly, this may be a way to kick-start myself in to making knitwear that people will think "Oh, that's nice - I would like that nice young man to make me a one off piece that I can wear too"... and then pay me for my work. It's a dream and whether there is any money in it waits to be seen. But I do have a lot of people asking me if I sell my work and this might be a way of reaching those people

Oh dear, this is turning in to a bit of a desperate first post ("Give us ya bloody money" in the vein of Geldof)
