I can tell you a long and involved (and very expensive) story about Scott losing his keys and then getting paranoid and changing all the locks on the house and recoding the car keys, only to find them in his BAG, the one he used every single day, a month later.

Idiot. I told him they were in there, but did he look properly? Noooooo.

Twinkie has the right idea. Tell her to move over - I might just join her.

Michelle, he obviously has a 'boys' look'!!! Glad the keys were found. It is a horrible feeling. I have spare keys deposited with my friends, just in case!!! Twinkie, that's where Harki and Peri like to be when it's hot, bathroom, kitchen floor or in the paddle pool. I read about the evolution of that coat on the Twist blog, maybe?? It is amazing but I agree, I want to knit a rug but it's just too hot till Autumn!!

I love Sylvi and if it were in a store, I'd be tempted to buy it. But make it? I think my attention span is too short unfortunately. I'm still thinking on it though.

Oh I'm a big key loser. It's a chronic problem, despite Sean putting up a special hook for me to use. Ugh.

I have to say, that Twinkie's Summer Residence made us laugh and laugh when I showed it to Sean this morning. he made a crass statement about bunny fur being soft and absorbent. OMG!

Kit used to sit in the hand basin all summer long. Black fur on white basin. So much fun. It will be interesting to see if Lucy takes over the basin this year.

Sylive is gorgeous and you have to remember just think how nice it will be to wear it all snuggly and warm in Winter too. I had a morning when I used to work where I misplaced my keys, and of course they were under my handbag. I dont think my boss appreciated me being late though.

The keys drama sounds familiar & brings back memories. Tangled Yoke is a good choice & I have seen one knitted up & it looks great.

Keys! Don't get me started! Husby cannot remember where he puts his from day to day. Lucky I take note of where they are (or his wallet, or phone) so I can tell him when he starts the inevitable hunt every morning!

I love Sylvi too. Particularly because it's red! But I'm not sure I'm up to making it. I can drool though...

My missing key adventure was with one of those hotel key cards. We were a little disorganized in the morning because our luggage had been lost and only arrived very early in the morning. We were rushing for an early tour departure and I put the card on the wide brim of my sunhat where I wouldn't forget it. I picked up the hat and put it on my head. Then I discovered the card was missing and was not to be found. Hotel was unhappy! About an hour later I took my hat off and there sitting on top of my head was that !!!!! card. It had fallen into the crown of my hat. It never dawned on me to look there. The group got a good laugh out of it anyway.

Cool Twinkie

I have recently lost a prescription from the doctor, multiple sewing supplies and myriad other items. I blame peri-menopause...the only logical excuse.

Sylvi would certainly be a big commitment, especially as summer knitting.

BTW you've been awarded.

Used to be if you typed something like "car keys" into google it came up with a photo of keys on a mantle piece and the words "where you left them, idiot!".

Sylvi is a temptress. I have lots of Patons Inca. I reckon Sylvi would look great in a tweedyish yarn. (I'd remove the hood, though.) But I bought the Inca pattern book especially for a coat pattern in it to knit the Inca into. If I change my mind, I'll have bought two patterns for that yarn.

I look forward to seeing your progress on that sweater! As for the coat, it's very beautiful, but not a summer project. On the other hand, it would take all winter to knit and then you'd have to wait a year. :-)

I have been dreaming of a felted peacoat. Great idea. Can you imagine the size of it pre-felted? No, thanks.

Very sorry that you had a bad week. How did your auntie's funeral go?

The new twist collective is unfreakingbeleivably good, better than the first. It will come as no suprise to you that I like the coat you like too. Kingscot comes in a close second.

Me again. I've just been over to twist collective and I think I know why you like the Sylvi coat. I think it's the red riding hood theme that you like - you've been a dancing mum too long, it's gotten into your psyche!

I keep 2 sets of keys in my bag so I will at least have one when I lost mine, or forgot the other. ;) Seems like many people have problems with keys as well. Love the tweedy WIP. Emily looks cute with tht wig. Lol.. But that designer knitwear hardly seems wearable.

OMFG - that coat is gorgeous. But it would look like ass on me, and I'd never get it finished, even if I could afford the yarn.

I'd love to see it on you though :)

Lol the last thing I needed is to find out about a new site with more lovely tempting items to knit. Thanks for sharing though. The coat is gorgeous....go on,,, you can do it! It will really suit you!
