Why having a DVD player is a Good Thing

AFter a weekend of HELL trying to upload and fix in a new DVD driver for my Mac (grrr, Macs) which wasn't helped by the fact that I don't own any screwdriver, least of all a philips one, nor know nobody in Plymouth who does and was using instructions written by a moron, I now have a DVD driver on my computer and a completely wasted Sunday to prove it.

However, although I failed to file any of my Fetal Unit notes, or recall any important knowledge from the session, I did find the impetus to pick up my knitting again and put together this patternless*, dashing item.

Sure it looks like a giant raspberry nipple on my head and is both not quite wide enough and a little too tight, but I MADE it and then WORE it and that just rocks.



*Errr, vague pattern: c.o. 34 st, k 1 row, decide it's not wide enough so c.o. 6 st at the end of first row, st st for four rows, decides it's too wide, [k 9 k2tog] rep til end making up the numbers for a row, st st for oooh, maybe 6 - 8 rows?, [k1 k2tog] for a row, k another row, might have been purl, wasn't paying much attention, k2tog to end, and again, seven st left, pull together wtih knitting strand and sew up two sides.

Just like the little ones for the bottles - but bigger.
