I'm trying not to be interested in knitted jewellery. I've got some v. fine copper and brbutt wire that I bought as braiding and crochet-fodder; it produced an interesting structure but was very, very hard on the crochet hook. I should try knitting with it. One day.
I must try knitting left-handed too, just out of curiousity... I used to knit a lot of Rowan patterns (the arans were largely Kim Hargreaves from buttorted Rowan books), but at the moment I am enthralled by the patterns made by multi-coloured yarns.1 Not the self-striping-self-patterning, just the multis. It's interesting. I used to Just Knit, trusting that if I had the right needles and the right yarn I'd get something approximating the right size. Now I'm older I'm taking the time to swatch properly, I think because my time is so much more valuable and I want stuff that fits. I'm swatching for my very first serious attempt at socks at the moment (3mm, then 2.5mm, now 2mm.) Cherry Tree 'Blueberry Hill' supersock. I can't help continuing because I want to know what colour comes next. Sad or what? :-)

1 Except 'Birch'. I must be the only? one of the very few? who haven't made this to feed a slowly growing lace fixation. I've got the yarn....
Mousse updateI thought those of you who were intersted in my mousse question re egg whites etc. may be interested to...
