Love that pattern, I've ordered my mag's from Phildar and am so glad to found them via you - so many thanks for the inspiration.<br /><br />BTW, I am visiting Melbourne over Christmas and would love it if you could list some of your favourite wool and fabric stores close to the city. Perfect chance to add to the stash and plan a few more projects:)mosswoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17043104626770695633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17673846.post-14256765149042074392011-11-28T20:54:21.322+11:002011-11-28T20:54:21.322+11:00Last week I read How to Save an Hour Every Day Gua...Last week I read How to Save an Hour Every Day Guaranteed, and the first thing it tells you to do is a diary for a week- every quarter of an hour, what were you doing.

I keep my reader to 20 subscriptions and regularly change them and I haven't got into Flickr and pininterest or Facebook really. It's like when you're watching a dodgy film into the wee hours and find yourself wondering why?

I'm so ashamed but then I wouldn't meet all these wonderful people and share in their moments. I still get all the chores done - 'cos I'm a bit speedy when it comes down to that. I also have something to do while watching the idiot box - hand-sewing or knitting. BNW - love those patterns!!!Evelynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17380591574336657810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17673846.post-32614913685562550702011-11-24T18:09:03.479+11:002011-11-24T18:09:03.479+11:00oh yes, I usually turn the computer off after the ...oh yes, I usually turn the computer off after the kids go to bed... not before a little lookie at a few things.

With all that extra time I didn't get more stuff done, wasn't more nurturing with my children...instead...I took up Sudoku.

But you are ri...Waste time!!! And here I sit now...<br />But you are right about wondering how people use to be able to whip up enough cardigans and jumpers for families in the past. Both my Mum and Grandmother were constant knitters. Bed socks, beanies, tea cosies (oh, dear), and winter garments, but I think the biggest difference is that they did a plainer style of knitting - the only excitement to the design was perhaps a stripe or two!!! They knitted for new born babies right up to the elderly needing a bed jacket. They never left home without the knitting bag under the arm.<br />As for cutting down on the Internet...watch out for the withdrawal symptoms...secretly sneaking a peek to see what everyone is up to...good luck!!!Judithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16406164663751567997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17673846.post-81273844476245118692011-11-24T14:00:50.884+11:002011-11-24T14:00:50.884+11:00Double edged sword - that's a brilliant way of...Double edged sword - that's a brilliant way of putting it, Hootnz!Jorthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11263908192771903161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17673846.post-15126871753526116312011-11-24T13:49:39.524+11:002011-11-24T13:49:39.524+11:00Yes I am also a big internet user..
