I have bought rather a strange collection of items today.
- A butternut squash - from one of the greengrocers down the road. I had to walk past three greengrocers that were either closed until after new year or did not have any squash. There can't be many places in Britain left where there are 4 grocers within a mile of each other
- Four sweet potatoes - ditto. I have discovered that Rusk will eat anything if it is mixed with sweet potato. I was a bit too creative yesterday with the veg combinations and he refused both the concoctions, I think on account of using Granny Smith apples which were too sour. Hopefully this will make them edible again.
- A row counter - just in case I start any more knitting projects before the project I am currently counting is finished
- 24 stitch markers - in grotty plastic. I lost the will to make pretty ones when I couldn't find the fixings I wanted to attach the beads to. I am ashamed to say that I had to resort to Hobbycraft for both of these, although I did try my local craft shop first. My local yarn shop is closed this week. How foolish of them. I was in the mood to spend lots of money. By the time they are open again I will have no time to shop.
- A plastic box - to keep knitting things in. I now discover that I need about 3 more boxes.
- A gingerbread latte
- A bath mat - Mr F was fighting a losing battle trying to keep Rusk in his little bath without knocking himself out on the head of it. Now he is in the big bath, the problem becomes stopping him from rolling over or flinging himself backwards.
- 4 pillows - Is it me or do pillows just disappear? Maybe these will last a little longer than the previous set.
I did not buy a knitting bag. The search continues.
