I'm loving having a space carved out in my week to sit and knit and chat with a cuppa and a nice bit of cake, and I'm already feeling really inspired by seeing everyone else's projects. I invited the boyfriend to come along and learn how to knit, but even the prospect of cake couldn't tempt him... being my postal assistant is probably about as crafty as he's ever going to get!
We've been making posters this week to help spread the word about the group (the awesome photo is by Emma a.k.a. Yumptatious) ...
... and we even got the chance to promote the joys of knitting on the radio!
A lovely woman from the BBC came to interview us about the club, how it started and what our plans are, which was just so nervewracking. I don't know yet when it's going to be broadcast but I'll put up a link to it on the BBC's iPlayer when I can, and if my witterings aren't too embarrassing, haha.
I love knitting group. Sadly we only meet once a month but its still good.

ReplyDeleteGlad you are enjoying your knit n nattering, we meet weekly (yay!) and our group is called the 'Ladies who Knit n Knatter' (unless of course you speak to the husbands or partners who refer to it as the 'coven') either way, we really really enjoy it. It is a good place to chat and craft and eat cake!!
