Title - can't think of one

Have been on leave a week now,it wasn't meant to start till 25/3 but just wasn't up to it any more  So went into work last Friday and asked if I could bring it forward.Keep feeling I'm fighting something off, but also probably a bit burnt out. Not the only one a lot of people are going part time to help cope. Didn't hear anything at all on the job interview I went for, not impressed. Gave up on the Light Flurries Scarf for now as there was a mistake in the pattern and thought it was me for awhile.. Crocheted a hat for a lady in our team who starts chemo on Monday (pic below). Not big on crochet but it's a nice hat and quick. I get bored with crochet although like how it can be shaped. I also prepared a chemo survival kit, with several everyday items that found special meanings on the Internet  Went into work yesterday for a morning tea and presentation as besides everyone wanting to wish her the best, turns out worst day of treatment will be her birthday.



My heads a bit everywhere, cannot decide want to work on next , want to more hats for my work colleague. Then have to do more baby stuff and should go back to the Light Flurries Scarf.

Went to Stitches and Craft show today, not much for crochet and knitter but the 2 stall holders who were there had some different stuff. Succumbed to this



 Just can't my camera to take nice pictures, colour shades are probably nearly there but are just more vivid.  Jade and Peacock Blue.
2ply Touch Merino/Kid Mohair from New Zealand. Stall Holder By Lynette. Haven't had the opportunity to touch possum yarn before, beautiful was very tempted. Couldn't believe when I overheard the owner comment at people just lifting stuff. Would cost a fortune to be there and wouldn't make much profit, no show without exhibitors such disrespect and when you consider the average age of a person at a craft show on a Friday.  Her husband actually came up to me when I picked up the yarn probably thinking I was doing the wrong thing , fortunately I was just struggling with my wallet to get money out. So no faith gained in human nature today.
