I managed to get the digger design on my jumper finished last night. I just need to put in the french knots and tie in the loose ends at the back, but I'll do that once I've finished the stripes at the top. It's my first bit of successful intarsia using more than 2 colours. 
Graeme's mum and dad have been visiting us this weekend. It was lovely to see them. They recently travelled across Russia and Siberia on the Trans-Siberean Express. They brought us this set of Russian dolls. The smallest one is just a couple of millimetres tall.
In case anyone was wondering, I did manage to make some monsters after my last post. Here they are sitting happily on the fridge. 
The parental visit meant that I missed out on the Centurian and the planned post-knitting Turkish bath this weekend. I hope everyone enjoyed it. I'm hoping to make up for it with a visit to the Knitting and Stitching show in Harrogate next weekend. I will be following a strict budget while I am there. Can't wait!

Glad you are feeling better about the teaching. I think you're very brave, I like little kids but the bigger onces scare me.
Lovely Russian dolls. My Dad spends alot of time in russia and often brings dolls home. Mainly they are in weird bright colour combos. I really like your blue ones- very tasteful.
