Time flies when you’re busy

I'm not too sure where time is going to at the moment. So much seems to have happened since the weekend, in addition to two full days at work! Mr C and I are in the middle of selling our flat at the moment. Sadly, the current credit crunch means that we're unable to buy our dream home in which to start a family and instead we're taking the slight different move of renting our flat back from the people who are buying it from us. We figure that this should leave us in a better position to rejoin the housing ladder once everything is sorted. This means that there's been lots of going back and forwards with estate agents, solicitors and letting agents over the last few weeks. Hopefully the end is nearly in sight though. Fingers crossed.

In other news, I'm very very pleased to report that the fantastic instructions that I picked up at Knitting and Stitching have meant that I've finally been able to make progress with my first sock.

All that's left is the Kitchener stitch to close off the toe. Hopefully I'll get time to do this before the week is out. The sock is far from perfect, but I'm still pretty happy with it and feel so much more confident about now tackling the second one. The question is when will it actually be finished?

The other thing that is now complete is the tea cosy for my sister. I'll wait and give her the gift before posting any pictures here, but I'm pleased to say that it's looking rather good (and most importantly like a tea cosy!)

All my travelling to and from work this week I've been totally wrapped up in the current book I'm reading: Engleby
by Sebastian Faulks. It's a beautifully written book and I'm struggling to put it down. I'm only about a third of the way in, and hence have no real idea as to where the story is going to go next, but even found myself dreaming about it last night. It's been a while since a book did that to me. I promise a full review once I get to the end.
