Virtual Friday 17

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 →

Braid and Tinker podcast

I came across this the other day and liked it. I hope you like it too. It's a knitting podcast by a young woman called Melanie in the Netherlands, although from her accent I think she might be British. I really like what she says in this particular podcast, which she has called 'This is … Continue reading Braid and Tinker podcast →

Virtual Friday 15

Another week, another Zoom....... Quite a few of us again on the 26th of June. Luckily no-one seems to be finding meeting like this boring - or if they do, they're not saying 🙂 Linda's knitted another stunning shawl. She's so clever! I might try breaking into her house one of these days to steal … Continue reading Virtual Friday 15 →

Virtual Friday 10

22nd May and some bad news to report. Photo posted on FB by Heatons & Reddish GMP This damage was done to the pavilion some time during last week-end. Kids climb onto the roof every so often and this time instead of being satisfied with that achievement, they've gone one step further and decided to … Continue reading Virtual Friday 10 →

Virtual Friday – 5

It's very likely that after restrictions end there will be many groups that just don't get back together again. Not so ours though! I might even consider adding a virtual meeting to the physical park meeting. With better internet access in the park we could combine the two 🙂 Mind you, in the light of … Continue reading Virtual Friday – 5 →

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! There was no public naming and shaming or league position, which was just as well as I … Continue reading Virtual Friday – 4 →

Virtual Friday – 2

What did you do today? I hope you made yourself a drink, grabbed some cake or a biscuit and knitted something beautiful for a little while. I didn't do any of the above, not in the morning anyway; at 11am I got together with a few knitting friends. Before anyone calls the authorities, this was … Continue reading Virtual Friday – 2 →

With time on your hands…..

......what do you do? This Covid-19 lockdown has given many of us a lot more time in the home than we can cope with comfortably. I tried to be sensible and straightaway compiled a list of jobs for myself. Jobs that until now I've had the excuse of putting off for lack of time. And … Continue reading With time on your hands….. →

Do tell

What did you get up to yesterday during the 2 hours that we would normally have been knitting in the park? Liz spent some of the time enjoying the sunshine in her garden with coffee and corn cake. Strange names to give to her cats! Linda probably carried on with her Coronavirus Shawl which she … Continue reading Do tell →
