Last nights meeting

It was nice to see everyone last night, especially after I couldn't come the time before. Sorry if I wasn't very sociable! I was concentrating very hard on learning to crochet, with the lovely Nadia's help and this is what I did.



Its the edging to my lace cardigan. The pattern was from Debbie Bliss' book Alpaca Silk 2 and the yarn is her Alpaca Silk DK. It is lovely and so soft and warm, I love it!!!

Yarn update

My sock yarn arrived yesterday from Yarn Yard, look at this :-










And here is my new knitting storage bag for the lounge! I love it, keeps me knitting all nice and tidy! Current projects only!

anniversary meet up?

Hi all
Its our first anniversary as a knit group on 3rd August and I was wondering what we wanted to do to celebrate. My thoughts were to ask Jonny at the pub to make us loads of cakes ;-). Also we could do a daytime meet up/ picnic maybe at the weekend.
I am on holiday that week though, but if you want to do something the week after I am happy to arrange it

This is what I bought on Saturday at NDS. They are all Blue Faced Leicester dazzle DK and are lovely and soft. DS2(who's hand is in the photo) obviously loved them too :-) They are going to be baby leggings

Some baby things I have finished

This is the dress I made from Debbie Bliss' Baby Knits for beginners book for a friend who is having a girl next month

A stripy jumper for my baby, due in September. Pattern is from Louisa Harding's Natural Knits book and is done in Patons Diploma Gold

Next outing?

Well, there has been a lot of talk about another outing as the one to NDS went so well.
The Yarn Gallery at Flempton has been suggested as has a meet up with the Colchester Group.
I think we can arrange something for July (so its after payday and I might have some money!) so let me know what you think
