Singed but smiling!

I stayed inside at lunch today to knit to avoid the heat they were predicting:

I've finished the back and front of the green Spring Top I started before the holidays, and am now halfway up the first sleeve. I had just finished a repeat in the pattern and thought it was a good time to break away and get back to work. Lucky I did too as 2 minutes later the fire alarm went off. If I'd been stuck in the middle of a repeat with no records taken of where I was up to I would have just had to stay there and burn - my memory is so rotten I would have forgotten by the time we got back. So I bundled up my little pride and joy and followed the throng down the stairs. Run people, someone's burnt some toast. Run for your lives!

Ooh, a fire engine:

But never fear, the precious booty made it out alive and in tact. And I will live to knit another day :)
