Paraskevidekatriaphobia?! Try saying that three times fast!
With today being Friday the thirteenth I have been trying to work out if in fact I am superstitious. As a rule I’d say not, but I do always check the latch on the tray table every time I take a flight (all thanks to that movie Final Destination!) So, as I’m probably the most contrary person I know, I think the jury might still be out!
Anyway I’m not taking any chances of having a horrid day, so here are three super happy thoughts that can counteract any Friday the thirteenth gloom....
The latest issue of Let’s Knit goes on sale today!
Woop Woop for Nova!! I’m super pleased with the finished travel pillow. This really is a testament to all that I learnt at the workshops with Sasha Kagan and Jean Moss on the knitting retreat. (Ro: I bet you can’t believe those scribbles and knots turn out like this!)
I get to try out a posh frock at the weekend!
As a life long fan of playing dress up going to a bridesmaid dress fitting is uber exciting. I can’t wait to put that stunning gown back on a swooosshh around in it – wonder how many times I’m going to get stuck with pins?!
WWKPID
World Wide Knit in Public Day is tomorrow and I have heaps of knitting – YeeHaw!!
I’m not sure where exactly I will be doing public knitting but as I’m the queen of setting myself wholly impractical challenges – Oh yeah, I can knit that entire cardigan before next weekend (!) – I have knitting of epic proportions to get through. So, this weekend where I go the WIPs come too, what fab motivation to get things finished!
All that said, I still reserve the right to curl up in my yarn stash and hide if things do turn out bad today!!!

I’m one of those perverse people who find Friday the 13th a lucky day for them and I’m hoping this one will be no exception.
If anyone from the editorial team is listening, is there a chance that you could put on the website the pattern for the green coffee pot cosy that’s featured in the magazine ad for subscritpions? It’s really pretty with the scalloped edge and I’d love to knit one for a present for my daughter.
Just got the latest Let’s Knit and it’s fantastic. I’ll be knitting at least 3 things from it.
Keep ‘em coming!
All best, Gillywilly -

love the travel pillow!
superstitions are interesting, in Spain tues 13th is a problem and in Italy Fri 17th. If anyone is worried, just stay inside and knit!
