Some other news is I only have about 5 strips to finish putting the puffs on. Didn't quite get there last weekend and the week really disappeared with lots of things to do other than sewing.
We also heard the hot water service blow its bottom out about 5.30am on Wednesday. Had a lovely plumber come and look at it and arrange for a new gas continuous to be fitted so had water by 2.30pm. The old one was very early 80's so it has done quite well and apparently it will not cost us too much for the unit after some rebates have been applied for which he is also doing. At least now we will not run out of hot water and now that it is on natural gas should also receive a cheaper power bill too. So if anyone in Victoria has a really old hot water service perhaps you should look at updating it before something happens while these grants are still available. Mind you I still haven't got the bill for it lol but have been told worst case it might get to $800.
Well off for a knit....

That's an interesting way to knit socks, I've never knit toe-up before, you're very brave knitting two together.........enjoy your knit-in.

The knitting is looking lovely and the puff quilt in the previous post is gorgeous! Hope the bill isn't too scary!! Hugs Wendy
Way to go with the hot water! Socks look terrific. I'm very interested in the two together technique. My grandmother, who was a great knitter always knitted both sleeves together on same needles, and I have sometimes followed her example, but circular needles is something else. Really looking forward to seeing your progress.
