Yeeeehh! It's my birthday today! and nope, no wrinkles or grey hairs yet!
oh, I see the 30 soo close now that it's scary!! sometimes I see people on TV or in magazines that are 27 and look so much older than me... I know it's awful to say, but it's true!! Maybe it's because I look younger, I don't know... Sometimes it's even embarrassing when I'm at the supermarket and buy and alcoholic drink and they ask me if I'm over 18... Believe me, this happened a few months ago!! and people ask me what I'm studying all the time!! You should see their face when I say that I finished uni almost 5 years ago!
anyway, I'm 27 and this is a fact. It doesn't matter if I feel it or not. And I need to work today, bleehhh! luckily tonight my husband is taking me to a fancy restaurant, so it's not that bad!! :)
At the moment I've got one present: a nice silver bracelet that came by post from my mum! I got some other presents in advance when I was in Spain, mainly clothes, as I find clothes in UK very expensive, and they don't fit me either. I'm looking forward to what my husband has got for me! although I think I might know... I'll let you know if I was right!
knitting update: I finally finished the back of arisaig and I've started one of the front sections. I'm hoping that I'll get some 'knitting' money today and then I will be able to expand my projects!! I've had just one for so long now that I'm starting to get a bit bored.... Having no time and no money is not a very good combination for knitters!

I've got a cold. My husband came home with a cold last thursday and after 4 days I thought I had been lucky enough not to catch it myself. I was wrong, and today I woke up with sore throat and sniffy nose... I don't feel too bad, though, so I'm hoping I have started taking the medicine soon enough.
I came back from my holidays a few days ago (hence the reason I haven't posted earlier) and I can say that they were GREAT! firstly we spent a few days with my family-in-law in the south of Spain, near Granada. What a lovely place! It was pretty warm, so I was able to sun-bathe a little and to do some nice trips to other towns and in the mountains. Do you want to see a couple of piccies?
The spectacular view from our villa!
yup, that white stuff at the back is snow, Sierra Nevada, - although we are in the hottest area of Spain...
The Al-hambra:
The best cous-cous I've ever tried! (Granada)
Well, I could add many more pictures, but I won't... So now you can understand that I haven't done much knitting in the last couple of weeks! However, I've almost finished the back of Arisaig, woohoo!
And as it's my birthday very soon, I've also spent some time thinking about what I want... I still don't know what I want my husband to give me, but what I know is that I want many vouchers for yarn!!! :) I have some projects in mind that I would like to do, but I won't say which ones they are at the moment, as I keep changing my mind every day! I would like to knit a nice jumper with Kidsilk Haze, from Rowan, as it looks really soft, but the price is a bit steep! I wish wool was a bit more affordable... so many things to knit and so short of time and money!!!

sheep and lace
oh gosh! I can't believe a week has passed since I last posted!! naughty naughty me!!! I have some excuses, though! as my cousin and her family were visiting over the weekend and I was just very busy before that.... plus the weather is still fantastic!!! I love this time of the year, specially when you go on a trip with the car and you find this:
How cute are they? I could add more pictures, but I won't... you should have heard them all with their funny voices!! how can a relatively small animal have such a deep deep voice?? they make me laugh!
Ok, and now something about knitting!!! (although these pictures could actually be under the knitting category, look at that amazing wool!!!!) My progress with Arisaig is slow. I have lost the count of how many times I've had to frog and frog again... I find it hard to be so concentrated, and sometimes I knit while watching TV, which indeed doesn't help my concentration... Here is a picture of how it looks right now:
and a closer look to the pattern:
sorry about the quality of the photo, but I was alone and I was trying to stretch it while taking the photo... hopefully it will be enough to see the pattern.
I'm still concerned about the size... this has to cover my whole back!!! hmm... I'm trusting the miracle of blocking at the moment... the pattern is beautiful and the yarn is very easy to work with. I'm quite enjoying myself knitting this, even with the frogging!! I couldn't knit at all during the weekend, as I had guests from Spain and I spent all the time with them, but this morning I took the needles again and I knitted non-stop for a couple of hours!! and I feel sooo much better now...
