Right. First off, I won a bet (and a bottle of beer) by getting my knitting needles through Heathrow security! Hoorah! Sure, they were plastic detachable ones and they were detached at the time and posed much less of a security threat than the newly sharpened pencil I was carrying in the same bag but, I was still pretty chuffed with myself. Pity then that I was too tired to knit in victory either on the flight or in transit.
However. I have actually used them since I arrived. I have knitted another two mini hats for the innocent drinks charity campaign but I'm quite bored with them now. (There would be photos but I can't be bothered to work out how to download them even with a highly sympathetic and computer savvy cousin in the vacinity. Hey, I'm on holiday.)
But! The delightful people at the London Stitch n Bitch (have included in their weekly email details of a new charity knitting initiative! Hoorah! This time it's a tea cosy for St John's Ambulance. I'm not so enamoured with the free pattern (no photos) but I found one on the other website.
And. That's another new project to dream of.
(Oooh sorry about hte absence. I blame moving flats, leaving my job, packing for holiday and other such things. Of course, these things didn't stop me knitting and I've another wine bottle, a finished baby cardigan and a few more of those mini hats...)
Happy New Year!
