WWKIP day

Well Saturday was World Wide Knit in Public day! I had planned to make a huge thing of it but we only had a month to organise to we decided to keep it small this year. I met up with a few of the girls from knitting group (SallyBarrett, SlimKnit, WannaKnit, NeedleMum and Knit24seven) and we hit the beer garden of the Two Rivers Pub in Staines! The weather kept going from sunny to cloudy but we had a good time. WannaKnit brought along some beautiful handmade bunting and some sweets which was lovely of her. We had a slight ant problem but nothing too major. Katie was on her honeymoon so we didn't expect to see her but once we'd packed up and were ready to go she popped by! It was lovely to see her and her wedding was great.

I managed to finish "holey Cowl Monkey man" Its made from manos de uruguay silk blend wool and it feels lovely. I wish id have made it a bit longer but and quiet happy with it:


I also finished my first ever granny square crocheted blanket:

This will be a Christmas present for Lou Lou and I'll be making one each for Jubba and Callum too. (Jubbas has been started)

I had quiet a bit of Manos left so decided to make a lovely thing id seen on Ravelry. Its sort of a cross between a hat and a headband, it keeps your ears and head warm but allows you to keep your hair up:




I really love this pattern, its very simple and looks great. I will defiantly be making more!

I got home last night and had received 2 post cards from Postcrossing, one from Holland and one from New Zealand so i was very very pleased about that.

Work still isnt great but ill hopefully know more today as to whaat is going on.

Ive started the final Riley Jensen Guardian book and cant wait to get it finished, its a very hard one to put down. I need to also research when the next one is due out. I think there is also a new Sookie stackhouse book due out soon.
