Play up Pompey!

and Portsmouth win the FA cup.

The first half was pretty good, lots of free flowing football, Kanu scored on 37 min, but 2nd half slower, as neither side could get another goal. The atmosphere was brilliant, and the Cardiff fans stayed to the end to cheer the Bluebirds on and to appreciate Pompey. No handbags on the pitch, no swearing at the ref, no falling over to get freekicks, a good football match.
Good to knit along to as well. Got to the sleeve on the Mimi jacket.
Then I couldn't remember how to cast on extra stitches, and took me four attempts to get it right.
The beautifully soft soya yarn turned up today and it looks gorgeous. J2 wore her Candy sweater to AS's party today ( a trip to the Edinburgh Dungeons), and she looked great in it. The designer , Tina Barrett, contacted me on Ravelry yesterday to congratulate me on the sweater. How cool is that?! J2 was impressed, and thought it must be cool for Tina to know that people love her design and that it has been knitted and worn! She's probably right. Another benefit of Ravelry, designers can get specific feedback from the notebooks.
