This one goes out to the ones I love...

Yes! For you lovely boys at IKL- here is a pic of my b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l Saartje's booties:

Things of great beauty and magnificence- just like you!

Chic like a sailor and nautical novelties

Well... I have had a lesson from Craig in how to rotate my pictures and it has worked:

Although, now I have made a mistake with the photos and can't seem to delete them...nevermind......

and I even managed to move the photo where I wanted it! Hurray! (The pirate wants to be in this all the way through- I can't get rid of him)

Anyway, today I went to the 'sailor chic' knitting event (hence the pirate- he had his nipple tassles chopped off cruelly as there were children...) with IKL icons Craig and Sue, (see how I managed to do links there! are you proud?)Melissa joined us as did some other random people throughout the afternoon. One passerby picked up my knitted tit and stared at it inquisitively- I could not take a picture of this sight as I was trying not to laugh.

We were nautically productive:

Yes- that is a seagull on Craig's hat- later Sue sewed it on for him and he was brave and wore it to the pub afterwards- he may start a new trend. Sue was very productive- she made a cat (for the pirate) and a bell (for the pirate's ship). I tried to make a rabbit....until it went wrong as I should have had a choc egg to put up its bum and it was pointed out to me that this had nothing to do with sailors....

So I turned it into a whistle (for the pirate). Melissa made him a sailor's hat and then we took the pirate to the pub...

Not content with all his gifts- the pirate did something very unacceptable in the pitcher he had been propped up in..

You just can't take him anywhere.

Knit a Tit!

This afternoon I went to Knit a Tit at I knit London http://www.iknit.org.uk/ and we had a great time knitting tits for Breakthrough Breast Cancer.

Sorry for the sideways pictures- some one tell me how to do this properly!

Sue made lots of nice cakes- they were a taste sensation and far surpassed any 'expert' cake makers we might know about!

At long last I managed to...

...sew the Rowan Portia twisty jumper together- it had been hiding in a bag since early September, such was my fear of ruining all that hard done knitting. However, I managed to sew it up and try it on and actually I feel very proud of myself. Here are two pictures...

As you can see- I have not worked out how to a)rotate my pictures when importing from my computer to blogger and

b) work out how to import photos from flicker where I can work out how to rotate them and have indeed done so.

Sorry about that....

I am new to this milarkey!

I am new to this blogging stuff. I cannot work out how to get two photos in a post and text without the photos going to the top...... therefore I shall only post one picture at a time until I get some tech support.....

Here's one that shows Craig's favourite pastime...

I love buttons too and no, Craig, I do knot think it is odd to want to tip them all out on the floor and sort them into colours. I used to do this with lego all the time as a child...

Goodbye! Farewell!

Yes- we know that Jenny is only moving to Oxford- but she will not be able to come to I Knit London's knitting groups anymore and that is sad. We met as an intimate knitting group last night at the shop with Elly and Vonnie, a newcomer and Craig and Elspeth.

Here is the photographic evidence...

Jenny's man sock is coming along nicely as is her pumpkin made from sainsbury's bags. Did you know they can't get orange platsic bags in America? Who would have thought it with all their technology....

We love you Jenny!

see what I mean?

Save the Arctic Musk Ox...

...his name is Fred,
he is the last of the of A.m.o s,
he lives in fear of the yarn hungry led
so only grows fur on his toes!

HA ha !

Blogless no more!
