To be honest, I've become lazy and have decided that as we don't do much when we have our meetings, I may as well just do a monthly 'report'. This has the advantage of there being just the one post to read but also I'll probably forget a few things so the post won't be … Continue reading Virtual June

Virtual Fridays – 58 to 61
You can see I'm getting lazy and combining weeks again. I can't offer any excuses I'm afraid. Someone will no doubt come up with a name for this but, for now, I'll call it Covid Inertia or maybe Pandemic Apathy. I was going to do three weeks' worth in one post and then realised that … Continue reading Virtual Fridays – 58 to 61
Virtual Friday 57
We seem to be keeping pace with Covid infection rates - our attendances are on a downward trajectory 😦 I'm not sure why that is. Maybe a bit of Zoom fatigue? That would be understandable as it can get tedious and we have been doing it for a looooong time. There's still no information on … Continue reading Virtual Friday 57
Virtual Fridays 55 & 56
I don't know the reason but our numbers in the last four weekly meetings have been 10, 9, 8 and 7!! What's going on?? Last week Sheila showed us the gorgeous bunny comforter she'd finished. The bunny best friend pattern is available as a download on Ravelry or from Sheepjes retailers in printed booklet form. … Continue reading Virtual Fridays 55 & 56
Virtual Friday 53
It's the 26th of March today and on the 23rd it was exactly 12 months since Boris announced the first lockdown. A lot has happened since then. Manchester and many other places in the north west have only been free from restrictions for 25 days of the last year. We took our first steps onto … Continue reading Virtual Friday 53
Virtual Friday 51
A week in which we've seen a few welcome changes to restrictions. Schools reopened on Monday 8th of March and those of us whose childcare responsibilities had a hiatus are back at work running around after grandchildren. Two people are allowed to meet socially, still only outdoors, but can stop and chat, sit on a … Continue reading Virtual Friday 51
Virtual Friday 50
It was a lovely surprise today to be joined by Alison and Margaret for the first time since lockdown. They are two of our longest standing members having attended the first inaugural meeting nearly 10 years ago. It was really good for us to be able to see each other. Margaret brought along Hattie -a … Continue reading Virtual Friday 50
Virtual Friday 47
“Xin nian hao” and "Gung hei fat choi" to everyone! While we excelled on one front today, we failed pretty miserably on another........ We're busy knitting and crocheting. Maggie making hats, Perveen giving her recent gift of circular needles a trial run, Sheila making a bunny blankie, May a jumper, Liz returning to a spring … Continue reading Virtual Friday 47
Virtual Friday 46
Ten of us met today, some vaccinated, some waiting to be invited. Vaccinations are progressing really well with the North West at or near the top of the league. The UK total is 10 million so far - not bad! Our group embraces all things sheepy so I had to draw attention to a film … Continue reading Virtual Friday 46
Virtual Friday 44
It serves me right for boasting about our numbers hitting double figures last week because today there were just six of us. They say that good things come in small packages and that the size of something does not always indicate its true value - I'll park that thought here and leave it with you....... … Continue reading Virtual Friday 44
