I am a tourist attraction ...

pandopOr so it would seem from York this weekend. I must admit it felt really odd to willingly pose for so many photographs when I normally run a mile from a camera, but then again I willingly wear pink when I am re-enacting, so it must all be part of the same thing.
Now, the question is, am I on any pictures that are online? Seeing as several people wanted to see the frock that was taking up so much of my time. Not as yet .. but I am still looking - it is early days for most of the pics to have gone up.
I had a lot more fun than I thought I would have at the show - especially as this was my first York as a civilian. Although I do want to go back to fighting eventually, I do think that being a civilian will be fun too. Especially on a new and growing wic with Hwitmearum. Now I just need to get my test passed so I can get to more shows.
It would have been better if I hadn't been so ill straight afterwards though ... (although I did lose 3lbs, so it wasn't all bad)
My Knitting Olympics have resulted in failure. What with illness, frock making, more illness I am nowhere near finished. Ah well. I have also made no further cross stitch progress, but we now have a dedicated WIP night on my stiching forum, so that might change.
On the plus side I have found some gorgeous hand-dyed madder/woad variagated linen thread that I had forgotten I had. This will be used on a banquet frock eventually, as it is a bit posh for the dress I have just made. I found some nice yellow for that though, so I can get on with that sometime.
I am currently obsessed with what to knit next, even though I have 2 projects on the go already. I am thinking I might make an afghan, as the blanket I have been wrapping myself in these last 3 days is a bit unwieldy, and that would be good to take to do at Aberystwyth.
Studywise I am still behind, but am still going to the study school, and I will just have to get myself out of this mire somehow.
