Virtual Friday – 4

We had another well attended Zoom meeting today during which we exercised our grey matter with a short quiz. The rules were simple - you just needed to write your answers on paper at home - in private!

Virtual Friday – 1

This is the first Friday that we have had to cancel our knitting group because of Coronavirus (COVID-19).  So, it'll have to be a virtual group from now until further notice.

We've just celebrated our 7th birthday! After our usual knitting session we had a 'bring and share' lunch and raised a glass of something sparkling to present, absent and past members of our group. And here's one I took earlier (before the celebratory drinks!) Lovely ladies Waiting for a bite Looking so refined but really … Continue reading 24th August 2018 →
