We had a good turnout on 25th September - 11 of us! We talked about holidays and hotel stays. One of our ladies had been to Italy for a holiday and another celebrated a birthday with a stay in a beautiful boutique hotel in the north west. Conversation inevitably touched on Covid and whether we … Continue reading Virtual Friday 28

Virtual Friday 26
The 11th of September brought us together again, talking more about knitting than we did last week. Zoom decided not to co-operate and my attempts at screen sharing Liz's beautiful crocheted baby blanket were thwarted. But at least WordPress is behaving itself, so here it is: Liz used oddments of yarn left over from previous … Continue reading Virtual Friday 26

Unusually, we talked a lot about knitting on the 14th of August. This shouldn't be unusual seeing as we're a knitting group, but to be honest we tend to talk about anything and everything, and knitting is included almost as an afterthought. Judith is finishing her fifth baby cardi. Jayne showed us two lovely baby … Continue reading Virtual Friday 22

It's the 7th of August and we're sweltering in a mini heatwave. We had one very briefly last week, lasting just a day, caused, in the words of the Met Office, by 'a brief hot southerly incursion'. The hottest temperature recorded was 37.8°C on the 31st of July at Heathrow Airport. We weren't anywhere near … Continue reading Virtual Friday 21

A big disappointment today, 31st July: restrictions have been tightened in Greater Manchester (all 10 boroughs), East Lancashire and West Yorkshire. This was announced yesterday evening after 9pm and came into effect barely 3 hours later, at midnight. We can't meet with even just one member of another household either in our homes or in … Continue reading Virtual Friday 20

24th of July today and it's the feast of St Christina, a 12th Century saint. She lived in an oven and a tree. Just thought I'd put that out there! We had an uneventful meeting today. Nothing much happened, not many of us present...... Sheila has finished her lovely lap blanket and is now knitting … Continue reading Virtual Friday 19

My goodness! I don't know where to start - it was such a busy session this morning (17th July). 11 of us at various times throughout the meeting with some dipping in and out and others having to leave early - it was hard to keep track of all the goings on 🙂 We chatted … Continue reading Virtual Friday 18

10th of July already! Zooming today without any issues at my end thankfully. May was frozen for a while but defrosted without missing too much. Judith sent us a photo of her latest FO - a beautiful baby cardi for Sarah: Krysia M showed us a tapestry she's in the middle of - a Kaffe … Continue reading Virtual Friday 17

Today's meeting, 3rd July, was not without issues. I was prepared and ready, having 'practised' some screen sharing to make sure I did it right, when my internet connection suddenly dropped, just 10 minutes prior to the start of the meeting. OK. Run downstairs to check the router and reboot it just in case. Back … Continue reading Virtual Friday 16

It was the 12th of June but the 13th time of meeting. Would you believe it? A whole quarter of a year has been spent in virtual meetings! We met on Zoom and admired Judith's latest FO's, all for Sarah's baby. Lovely, aren't they? Liz has also been busy making things for a friend's baby. … Continue reading Virtual Friday 13
