I’d spent the morning writing lesson plans and other, similar programmes when I looked at my watch.  11.30am and I’d more or less completed what I needed to do so I looked forward to an afternoon to do as I wished and clicked Pinterest on my toolbar thinking I’d mooch about the internet until my hero was ready to go to the pub for lunch.

Well, it is Friday, isn’t it?

 

 

Oh, those are fine green shoes…and hmm, my friend Jordi has posted a video.  What’s all that about, then?

 

 

Butin Collar cast on?  What?  I think I need to investigate further.

 

 

As usual, Ravelry has the answer and this is looking interesting.

 

 

Ten minutes after seeing that little video on Pinterest, I’ve bought the pattern, paid for it using PayPal and am downloading it.

 

 

A couple of minutes later, it’s printing out and I’m looking in my bead drawer for #6 and #8 beads.

 

 

I think I have some, somewhere…  I’m pretty sure I have the needles and the yarn as well.

 

 

Well, that’s what stash is for, isn’t it?  Why we keep these things on hand?  And, having assembled the “ingredients”, we went off to the pub for lunch. 

 

No, don’t be silly, of course I’m not wearing the necklace this afternoon!
