New toys and gradual progress

Well, when this came up for sale on Ravelry I managed to resist for a whole 24 hours:

It's a Dean and Bean 3d printed CSM with four cylinders and matching ribbers...

The less said about the mess I made when I tried to use the ribber, the better... Is it just me, or does the ribber arm look like the USS Enterprise?

My other current addiction is finishing this. The two buildings at the bottom are delayed because I ran out of beige. I'm not sure which is more annoying, that it was my fault for not reading the graph properly, or that I'm paying £3 postage for a 99p skein of cotton. Still, at least I resisted buying more yarn! The universe must have realised I'm doing cross stitch because an old friend had a clear out and sent me three part finished ones. Though I do now have two sleeves and a back from the Passap. Slowly but surely the cardigan continues...

Current mood: amused
