Seven Times Seven Meme

Seven things to do before I die:-
- travel beyond Europe.
- learn how to knit really well.
- have children
- learn how to cook properly
- buy myself a house (with lots of room for yarn and friends).
- drive on big scary roads.
- read all the books and knit all the patterns I'd like to.

Seven things I cannot do:-
- cook intuitively (although I love watching people who can!)
- drink more than one glass of wine without ending up on the floor and/or fast asleep.
- drive on big scary roads.
- intarsia
- see very much without my glasses on.
- drive without thinking what a waste of time this is cos I could be knitting. In fact do pretty much anything without thinking what a waste of time this is cos I could be knitting.
- be patient

Seven things that attract me to blogging:-
- friendships and knitting chums
- ideas for projects/shops/yarns/patterns/food

Seven books that I love:-

- Bridget Jones - Helen Fielding
- An Equal Music - Vikram Seth

- The Floating Book - Michelle Lovric

Seven movies I watch over and over again:-
