Since I know you're really here to read about knitting and other things yarn-related, meet the project in the wings. (Lady Eleanor is bigger, and she looks exactly the same).
This is Rowan Polar, which I was lucky enough to buy from Liberty for £2 a ball. Yes, 'Liberty' 'Rowan' and '£2' can meet in one sentence, if you are ignorant enough to go in search of a discontinued yarn. This had been ordered by someone who hadn't picked it up, so it languished in their basement, until I rescued it in my innocence and was offered it at a marked down price. It's going to be knitted into a one-colour treeless Apocalypse Tree Hoodie for my sister. And on the way home from picking up my results I bought this from a second-hand book shop that opened today just around the corner from the college.
Am I insane?
Let's just call it euphoria.

Congratulation! I'm so excited for you! :) Hurray for med school!
(Do share what is in the BP book...I adore her little water colors and would dearly love to see what patterns might be inspired by the likes of Mrs. Tiggy-winkle and Tabitha).
Hurrah! Congratulations, Philippa! How exciting.
And I second Elli and Marie--that book is too enticing not to share!
