Knitting in Public & The Docklands Festival!
We got a little head start on the whole WWKIP thing this Bank Holiday Weekend while we traded at the Docklands Maritime Festival... There's Carrie attracting lots of attention with her "portable" knitting needles :) We managed to knit a giant scarf, not once, not twice, but three times over the weekend. This is just one of the finished versions:...

Apple and Raspberry Slices...
That's what I'm baking for next Sunday. A few of you girls may remember them from last year's little get-together (and I know I promised to share the recipe but never managed to dig it out and send it around...). They're chewy, buttery, slightly tangy and fruity. And, this year, I'm hoping not to burn the whole first batch of...

We're still here!
I promise! Charlene's not so subtle hinting at Knit Night last night (ahem... "I haven't seen a blog post in a long while") has given me the kick I needed to get posting again. I sound like a broken record now but it has been a busy few weeks and we have just about gotten the shop back in order...

The Last Minute Christmas Gift Meet Up!
You know how it works. Some time around late August / early September you begin formulating ambitious plans to knit gifts for all your nearest and dearest: the lace stole for Mum; a snuggly dressing gown for the little one; socks for Dad and the all important stylish-but-not-too-fussy raglan jumper for your significant other. Then you get "sidetracked" by all...

Electric Picnic 2007
There was more knitting fun to be had last weekend as we returned for a second year at the Electric Picnic. After an initial location glitch on Saturday, Sunday was very successful as we attracted a lot of attention in our corner of a "Tree"pee within the Body and Soul area. This was well sheltered so it was definitely useful...

Knitting at the Electric Picnic - Call out for Volunteers!
Hot off the press: I have literally just received confirmation that the Knitting Event will be going ahead at the Electric Picnic again this year. We will be setting up either outside the Village Hall area or (if the weather isn't favourable) in a corner of the Village Hall area itself. We're looking for six volunteers to help teach knitting...

Belated WWKIP Post
The day itself has been well documented here, here and here but I had some good pictures of the event to share... I did promise sock pictures - sorry this one is a bit dark. This was the first of a now-completed pair in Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock. I used left overs of the Irving Park shade for the toes...

Yep.
