I had to get my head around 2 decreases per sleeve but on every other row. 14 decreases will take 14 rows. <br />Appliances, like cars, have experts to repair them and when I have a probelm with either I call someone and immediately it ceases to be my problem.<br />I love the colour of your new sweater. It must be a delight to knit.<br />Ron in MexicoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-49065907624569781262013-01-21T13:09:16.940+00:002013-01-21T13:09:16.940+00:00If you've made a mistake with your income tax ...If you've made a mistake with your income tax return, HMRC will soon let you know! In the last return my husband did before I insisted on taking over financial stuff, he forgot to include his main pension! He was very surprised to receive a letter telling him that he was due an enormous rebate. When they checked it in detail they obviously found the error. <br /><br />Can you put aside the gardening sweater until some of the other issues are sorted? I'm sure cumulative stress isn't conducive to correct calculations.<br /><br />We are covered in snow.

I have just started grappling with the tax - by which I mean I have gathered a pile of relevant papers in one place. A not-insignificant achievement. So, you are streets ahead of me in that respect, although I hope the calculations will be fairly straightforward (just copy last year's and update the numbers...)<br /><br />Snow in Edinburgh is rather mercurial: we noticed that on Saturday when we were 'sledging' with friends in north Edinburgh. By the late afternoon the snow was almost completely gone in their neighbourhood, and there was just a touch of sleety rain/snow in the air. When we left to drive home, the further south we got, the heavier the snow and by the time we got home (to Blackford Hill - just about 3 miles away) it was snowing thickly, and the roads white and slithery. A fresh topping to the snow that fell on Friday evening, and was still much in evidence in our garden...<br /><br />I am currently on the western edge of Edinburgh, where it is snowing beautifully - soft gentle feathers of flakes falling from a white sky, and settling on the grass and trees (already white from previous snow falls) in front of my office.Knitlasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10694849211711608460noreply@blogger.com
