It fits

That should really read they both fit.
Firstly Mr FF went off to collect his eBay sat dish slightly concerned that it wouldn't go in the back of the car.  I noticed he packed various ropes and tapes but fortunately though a little snug the dish went into the boot.  I can see we are definitely taking the car to Italy and that we shall have to fit the rest of our luggage round the dish and its stand.  The dish has already had a good clean with the power washer and is looking good.  Lets just hope that it makes a difference to our tv reception otherwise there could be ranting in Lazio.
Secondly Mr FF's New Lanark 'I want it just like the old one' jumper is finished and fits a treat.    Couldn't resist including my herbaceous border in the background.  This new jumper certainly is as requested just like the old one which I might give a bit of a renovation now as some of the seaming at the wrists could do with attention.  I used 11 balls of DK, the pattern is a straight forward classic raglan from some old book I have.  Time for a bit of stash busting now to continue my downsizing theme, too many showers for me  be in the garden very long so frantic knitting to be done while I get over excited watching the Tour de France.

    Well a relief that the dish fits, let's hope it sorts out the problem after all the efforts. Mr FF's jumper is great. I'm not showing it to Mr JK for fear that he should demand I knit him one too!

    Looks like a coracle... with all that rain you've had couldn't you just float it to Italy??! Knitting over here has stalled, 99F and humid today, been a killer heatwave for the best part of a couple of weeks, looks like the temp are back to normal for the time of year from Sunday. The ironic thing is we really need some rain, and I dare say you have more than enough to spare! Enjoy the cycling.

    Hugs

    Your herbaceous border is looking good. Fingers crossed that the satellite dish works.

    Our luggage is always so boring by comparison. At least you don't have to fit in a dog and his crate as well!

    Have fun with the dish, I guess he must have got it for a real bargain price!
