monopoly

have I mentioned before that I am a little bit of a monopoly game addict?  I play against the computer (on my phone) and mostly I win and the game takes about 15 – 20 mins.  Well this week I had the most extraordinary game I’ve ever had- it took 3 days (on and off obviously) and look at how much cash I had!  $52.6K! This photo I took a few minutes before the game finally ended.   I didn’t even know you could get to that much cash in Monopoly!  It was touch and go for a goodish part of the game- before either of us had any sets we both had stacks of cash and his bank balance got quite high in some spots aswell.

In other news I came across this pattern for a jumper for my sister in law (navyish yarn I bought from the UK which when it arrived was a bit purply for my wear) but she likes it, and I’ve started on 1 of the triangular panels but I’m a bit worried because whenever I crochet up a sample swatch gauge I can never get mine to measure the same width as height like it’s supposed to…

so who knows whether it will turn out the right size in the end?  I’ve a feeling that it will be wide enough but not tall enough (like my sample swatch), and I’m not quite sure what to do…
