Although most of my clothing is black and practical, despite the fact that I can stand on my own feet, will muck in quite happily with the DIY and don’t stand by doors waiting for a gentleman to open it for me, sometimes I want to be a princess, I want to wear sparkly stuff and waft around in a cloud of fairy dust (I draw the line at pink though) – sometimes I want velvet and silk rather than goretex and polartec !
The state of my wardrobe though means that I can’t really justify splashing out on fripperies when really I need a couple of decent pairs of work trousers and some tops that aren’t splashed with bleach…so I am knitting something for me, one £4.50 skein at a time…its softer than kittens, lighter than feathers…the colour is both practical and impractical at the same time being white which will go with most things, but runs the risk of getting grubbier quicker ! Oh, and there is a slight sparkle to it !
