Instant Gratification

I’d spent the morning writing lesson plans and other, similar programmes when I looked at my watch. 11.30am and I’d more or less completed what I needed to do so I looked forward to an afternoon to do as I wished and clicked Pinterest on my toolbar thinking I’d mooch about the internet until my hero was ready to go to the pub for lunch.
Well, it is Friday, isn’t it?
Oh, those are fine green shoes…and hmm, my friend Jordi has posted a video. What’s all that about, then?
Butin Collar cast on? What? I think I need to investigate further.
As usual, Ravelry has the answer and this is looking interesting.
Ten minutes after seeing that little video on Pinterest, I’ve bought the pattern, paid for it using PayPal and am downloading it.
A couple of minutes later, it’s printing out and I’m looking in my bead drawer for #6 and #8 beads.
I think I have some, somewhere… I’m pretty sure I have the needles and the yarn as well.
Well, that’s what stash is for, isn’t it? Why we keep these things on hand? And, having assembled the “ingredients”, we went off to the pub for lunch.
No, don’t be silly, of course I’m not wearing the necklace this afternoon!
It’s blocking on the ironing board

You are truly amazing.
I have to say, old cynic that I am, that it takes a lot to impress me - you have done it many times, but rarely twice in one post!! First of all - that is one gorgeous bead drawer - Homer style dribbles ensued when I saw it. Secondly, from Pinterest to pinned out in one afternoon - im-press-ive, (said in the voice of Craig Revel-Horwood). I do love this technological age! Well done Gill!!
you just can't be stopped, can you??? it looks great, and yes, I have a ton of bits and pieces of sock yarn.. more in a bit, the furkids need to go out, but I have actually been knitting a sweater and ..... brace yourself,... a skirt. More to follow..
Love it... want one..... got the pattern! :-)
Well done you for getting it done so quickly. If that is really your bead stash you have even more than me! :-)
Good to see that it is not all work and no play! Can I just add three more words: WOW, gorgeous necklace
