Relocation

It's been awfully quiet round here, sorry. This is because we have moved house. It took us about a week altogether, to move all our stuff from a 3 bedroom detached house to a 2 bedroom flat, including at least half that time to carry boxes and furniture up 4 flights of stairs as the flat is on the second floor.

It's all been worth it though, we're now ensconced in a wonderful apartment in a gorgeous Georgian terrace in Bath. There are windows galore, with wonderful views of the main city landmarks and most of the surrounding hills, with the Avon rushing by our bedroom window.
There have been casualties, notably a vivienne westwood dress and two suits, but we made it in by the winter solstice and celebrated our new life together here.

Unfortunately I haven't been able to do much knitting over the last couple of weeks, being up to my eyeballs in boxes, but I've done a little bit of work on the Clapotis. Not that I need bother, however, as my rambling husband has now decided that he's not that keen on the yarn. Apparently there's too much acid green in it, which he thinks will limit what he can wear it with. Regardless of the fact that he chose this colourway after carefully narrowing down his choices from Axelle's list of colourways, and lets not even discuss the fact that its come all the way from the US specifically for him. Or that I've got almost to the end of the first skein before he makes this decision, so ripping it out and using it for something else would be such a waste of effort.
So what do I do? Do I carry on with the pattern and end up with a second cashmere clapotis for myself, do I finish it and give it to someone else (who?) or do I frog it and use the yarn for another pattern? I can't think what I could use 3 skeins of cashmere for though - its one skein too many for socks, and not enough for a cardigan or sweater... and it wouldn't really be my first choice of colour for myself either. I think I may well soldier on and keep it. I could give my old green one to my mum, she might appreciate the luridity of the colour more than RH.

I still haven't knit any more on the BSJ. I think it's the needles, I'm really not getting on with knitting it on straights, especially now I'm over half way. I think i'll swap it onto a circ, it should go fairly quickly after that.

I'm almost in the mood to do some quilting again too, but I think that may have to wait until the spare room no longer looks like a graveyard for cardboard boxes.
