Taking over the world

Our knitting group seems to be going from strength to strength - we used to meet monthly with maybe 7 of us, then we started meeting bi-monthly. Now we meet every Weds in Bristol city centre and last night there were 17 of us in the Watershed - check us out taking up 5 (!) tables. If you want to come along, here's the website with our future meeting dates on.






And there's Nina with a really cool frog and Katherine with the most fantastically coloured baby blanket in a beautiful star pattern. I have to say I really love my knitters - kisses to them all!!

Oh, and igfest is coming.....

SnB

Just got in from Knit Chicks - lots stitching, bitching & knitting tonight! So much more about that tomorrow with photos of a finished object! I know, what a surprise from me but I've finally finished something - check back tomorrow for proof!

So, here's some lazy blogging with more cat pics...

Spilt time

I'm in two minds as to how to write my blog - do I talk about things I've done? Or do I talk about things I'm going to do? Or do I just blog away in both the past, present or future & let you decipher it?

Who knows?

Anyway, this weekend is fairly busy, which is quite unusual as I like to take it easy at the weekends & find time to play on Xbox Live. But we're off to the Watershed tonight to see In The Shadow Of The Moon, which I think will be great on the bog screen.

And then tomorrow I'm off to London with some of the Knit Chicks to see Amy Stoller! I am very excited about this as I don't think she comes to the UK often. We're going to the I Knit event, so more about that on Sunday as I'll be back late tomorrow - don't worry I'm sure I'll blog something to stay up to date with NaNoBloMo!!

And then on Sunday, 30 Days of Night is calling - Josh Hartlett fighting vampires - how can it get any better!! And shopping for a wedding outfit & looking at new kitchens - phew, what a weekend.

Knit Chicks

I know I haven't blogged much about my knitting even though it's a big part of my life. I knit most days, usually whilst watching TV but I have been known to knit in parks, in pubs and on the train!

My favourite thing to knit is socks as I find them fairly straight forward, quick-ish and easy to carry around. I think I've knitted about 5 pairs and have a couple of odd socks that have stories attached - maybe that's for later in the month!

Anyway, as I enjoy knitting so much I am obviously a member of a knitting group, well, I run the Bristol Knit Chicks, I always feel a bit embarassed to say that as I don't feel like I do very much to run the group but I suppose I send out emails remniders and organise knitting in the wild in the summer, so I get to be the person in charge. I also manage our 2 (!) websites, this one & the Knit Chicks one, which I set up if people wanted to post pictures of their finished objects.

And here's two of the Knit Chicks doing their thing - sorry everyone else but the pics I have are TERRIBLE! When I take some better ones, I'll post them, I promise.

So, I was out last night with all my knitting friends and the Watershed was surprisingly busy and who else should we see but the NaNoWriMo'ers as well! Everyone's doing it!! So, here's a shout out to all the NaNoWriMoers writing up a storm this month.

Blogging in the wild

This is Setters blogging live from the Watershed as it's Knit Chicks this evening - yes, I know that this page is very lame but at least it's there & people can find the group if they want too!

I'm not going to write anything else as I'd rather be knitting & chatting or stitching & bitching, whichever takes your fancy.
