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

Virtual Friday 13
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
Virtual Friday 11
29th May....... and we're still zooming.... There were 14 of us on Friday, which is excellent. We're a small group but have large hearts. A lot of charity knitting has been going on: 14 teddies! We spent quite a long time just chatting and showing various bits and pieces of knitting then we had 'Corona … Continue reading Virtual Friday 11
Virtual Friday – 9
15th of May: Another Zoom session and a very enjoyable one too. It's quite interesting to read various comments on social media about the difficulties or otherwise of running meetings remotely. Our experience so far has been relatively painless. We get the occasional connectivity issue - for instance, one of our members wasn't able to … Continue reading Virtual Friday – 9
Virtual Friday – 6
After last week's disappointing Zoom session, I was keeping my fingers crossed that this week would be better. And indeed it was, thank goodness. I had visions of running around the house from one room to another trying to find the best reception. For VF-5, I ended up sitting on the stairs. If I get … Continue reading Virtual Friday – 6

I can guarantee that when we come out of this pandemic our knowledge of tech will have increased massively. On Friday at 11am, we had a fun-filled and exciting knitting group meeting on Zoom. Other meeting platforms are also available 🙂 I had tried it out the previous week as it was new to me … Continue reading Virtual Friday – 3
Happy 29th Feb
I think of the 29th as a bonus day. It's for doing something that you'd think twice about on a normal day. An activity that, usually, would make you debate internally about whether you are really able to spare the time for it before deciding guiltily that there are loads of jobs that need to … Continue reading Happy 29th Feb

The Knitting Friends in the Park are eight! Happy Birthday to us! Our birthday treat this year was a day trip to Yorkshire. We were lucky to be given some money by the council so spent it on minibus hire, which meant that none of us had to drive and we could have a relaxing … Continue reading 23rd August 2019
I love Ravelry
There are loads of free knitting and crochet patterns available on various sites in the internet. Now, if there was also free yarn, we'd be talking. However, that's unlikely to happen any time soon, so, it's just patterns for now. I'm all for sharing resources and not paying for anything unless you really have to. … Continue reading I love Ravelry

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
