the Black Cats got a very valuable point at the Emirates, holding Arsenal to a goal-less draw.Arsenal fluffed their chances (they prob'ly should have won 2-0) but they had not taken into account the difficulty of running round Andy Reid - keeping scoffing those pies son! Kenwyne did his best to score but Arsenal don't let many people past to the goal.This puts us at 10th (woohoo! mid-table mediocrity at last! ) with 31 points, 8 points clear of relegation.
The other results went our way, with Boro drawing at home and Stoke & Pompey drawing too. I had to feel for both Pompey and Boro as the refs' decisions didn't help them at all, and Sunderland have had more than their fair share of those..Man Utd remain top on 62 points,and Blackburn, Boro and the Baggies remain at the bottom. Of course, there are still 4 games to play tomorrow, so things could change. The Baggies could climb out of the dead zone, the Toon could fall further towards it. (I hope not! I don't want the hubs to be too depressed!).
From the sublime to the ridiculous ( or is it the other way round?I can't be sure?):
I
managed to get a copy of Vogue Knitting today (winter 08). I'm not capable of knitting anything much from this, but I love to admire the designs in there.
This time my eye has been caught by this blue jacket:
I like the detail on the shoulder, and the shaping at the waist. It has a kind of formality but with a bit of a twist, which I like. One day, one day, I will be able to tackle projects like this, and in the meantime it's good to admire them.I'm still trying to track down a copy of Yarn Forward (iss 11). I'm reluctant to take on another mag sub, so it is becoming a bit like hunting a wild beast trying to find a copy, while Borders does get Vogue, it doesn't seem to get Yarn Forward, so I might have to track for spores around Edinburgh to find it.
I think I need a trip into town this week.. if I have any energy after J2's party tomorrow !
There was a little bit of progress on sock2 yesterday, I'm almost at the toe for shaping. When I finish I must get on with my Pratchgan squares. I realised that I don't have a copy of Sourcery and had to get it from the library, so when I'm lying on the floor tomorrow, after the party with the dotty pre-teens, I can lose myself on the Discworld and regain some sanity!

I picked up Yarn Forward in Tescos the other week although I didn't see No 11 when I was in there this week. Hope you have luck tracking it down :)
You're right - that is a lovely cardi!
