Helloooooooooo?

Right, JUST because you are on an 8 hour car journey home from visiting me DOESN'T excuse you from not having yet posted the beautiful tanktop you finished yesterday at my kitchen table. I want photos!

And, I am procrastinating from learning more about the fetal circulation system by joining ravelry! Hoorah! (Username knister if you fancy checking me out.)

Only down side is that they require a flickr account to upload photos which means more organising and phaff. On the plus side though, it will certainly allow me to procrastinate even longer.

Pracrastinate from what, I hear? Ah, that is the fetal circulation system. Why, do you ask, is the fetal circulation system different from an adult's? Well, that is because they receive their oxygen from the mother's placenta through umbilical cord and not the lungs as adults do. There are three main shunts that rearrange the fetal circulation: foramen ovale, ductus arteriosus and ductus venosus.

OK, I'm going ot stop there. If only there was a knitting pattern to help me out.
