Again, Jolly knitting.

Last week, it was a lovely crowd at AK. 6 of us knitted and nattered in the sunshine coming through the big window.

Tonight, I won't be there, but it is Ladies night, so there will be Vintage Clothes, Chocolate Fondue and Tarot readers... As well as a band of Knitters secreted somewhere in a corner!

enjoy!

It's Tuesday again!

Will defo be there this week, Although, I've forgotten to pack the Alpaca which Ann brought back from Texas to show Anna! D'oh!

See you all around 18:45, although, of course, the Event Starts at 18:00.
{Mutter grumble, having to work until 18:00 these days...}

Do grab the big table under the Chandelier. :-)

Oh, and here's some rather too dark pics I took two weeks ago...

Here is Vikki's Crochet...

And here is my saddest site ever, as regards Knitting:

Role-Call!

I won't be there tonight... I've been offered 4hrs of Overtime (Time x 1.5!), getting one of our Libraries back to spec after it's refit.

So, I'll be earning money to buy a shed to dye yarn in, a noble cause if ever there was one!

Do leave a comment if you are going though! :-)

More Grouping........................

Angel Knits London comprised of Maggie, Nikki, myself and guest (BF) and Ruth. ruth brought some goodies along, this laptop is not up to me putting links on but do take a tour around ww.woollywormhead.co.uk for some newly dyed Wensleydale in sunset colours or greens/blues and other goodies. I bought one of each of the Wenseydale skeins for less than a round of drinks (which Ruth bought a couple of thus cancelling her profit!). I think I might try and felt it although a newsboy style cap crocheted has been on my mind for a while. Oh dear, so much to do, so busy and not allowed to tell anyone why!

Had some really good discussion with Ruth about design, she is my mentor (although I am a novice I am a bit older than her though). would love to see Ruth again, the weather is getting better and we are more able to see our stuff at the New Rose.

Nikki was busy trying her hand at crochet and seems to have mastered all basic stitches, increasing in the round, and increasing on a flat piece to cause a 'flare', so, what else does she need to know? With her felting skills she should be coming up with some nice little bowls and the like.

Maggie was working with rug wool and was making a hall runner in a broken rib zig zag pattern (sorry not good with stitch names, perhaps she will correct this!)

Not long until Abi is back from her travels (next month) and I am bursting to talk to her about loads and loads. Hope she is reading this, if she is, drop me a message from New Zealand. Do visit Kaikoura (good cheap hostel there near a seal colony) and do visit the Abel Tasman park and if you do Abi, charter a boat from Rod Stewart (not ,the, Rod Stewart but same name) who has a luxury yacht that he takes people out on for the same price as some of the other boat tours that are packed. He took two couples including us out and it was fantastic. I am so jealous of you guys etc. BBC has a Castaway series started on the island next to the one we stayed on for New Year, I do believe they have better facilities as well than us! Not exactly deserted, thewy could go over the fence and down the road for a cappucino if they wanted so don;t be fooled.

NO NEW POSTS

Hey Angels

No new posts since 15 Nov and that was mine! I have been in New Zealand since 2 December 2006. I am back now and have a lot of paid work going for knitters to knit up other people's designs for a variety of publications. If you would like to share the work with me and get paid for our knitting then have a look on my blog Skeinspotting - A World of Erssie Knits at www.erssie.blogspot.com.

Do let us know what you have been up to. If you are not familiar with loading up your adventures to this blog, then email me erssiemajor@yahoo.co.uk send Word docs and jpegs and I can load up your text and photos for you. We must keep in touch with each other and fill the blog with interesting things. For those of you with blogs and websites of your own, put up the links or on this blog or send me the blogs.

I am thinking about starting a visitors' book for Angelknits so that you can log your name and put down your contact details (not everyone has an email or blog address), current WIPS,FO's and any other knitting news on a Tues night. It will alleviate the problem of endless photos of people knitting without any text or info.

Hopefully it will help me at least to learn some names of people I speak to regularly whose names I don;t know or have forgotten. As a start, here is a pic of me, my name is Erssie.

Looking forward to seeing you or hearing from you

Hi Guys

I really miss coming along, it has been ages since I did some communal knitting. I spent a lot of June in hospital, then slow recuperation at home. I am very grateful though to Abi and Chris and the lovely Ann who made the effort to come and see me in Barts on the days my partner couldn't make it. Abi had exams as well so she had every reason not to come but she did, and Chris came on his own when Abi was visiting relatives so


Thank You! Not really having any family in this country really shows up when something like that happens so I am very grateful to my knitting community.

Nikki, I'm sorry to hear about your fall, it sounds nasty. I had a similar accident at Seven Sisters once and I was amazed at the rush hour crowds just stepping over me after I tumbled as if I was baggage!

I've also had a very sick doggie (above on his last beach holiday) who sadly was put to sleep a couple of weeks ago. Anyway, I am still knitting a tiny bit (although missing chunk from arm has inhibited this). I still get lots of knitting work coming through though so if any of you fancy doing some knitting up of my designs either for charity (to be featured in print magazines) or for a fee out of the budget I get offered, then do contact me as I am currently hiring two knitters and plan to use more. I've got quite a few knitting adventures in the pipeline, but sworn to secrecy so will let you know when the 'things' are 'out'.

I am off to Devon tomorrow on a last minute holiday with my two friends (who modelled the G8 hats) Fiona and Alice. We are camping but I am still packing some knitting. Will see you all when I get back. Abi, I do hope I won't miss you before your departure! Is anyone going to Fruitstock festival on 5th and 6th of July? Do go, as well as music bands Kerrie/Hipknits have set up a knitting corner. I'll be back then, so see you at the knitting corner or the following Tues as usual.

Lots of love

Oh ker splat.

I took a tumble down the stairs at Euston, so I'm not there this week....

So, thought I would give you some pictures that I took a couple of weeks ago instead.

This is Anna, teaching herself to knit left handed (She is ambidextrous), so that she could teach

The Girl in the middle to knit!

Also, here is Josephina, Still with her hat (although, I think it is long enough to be a bag now!)
