Hello hello!
I’ve been having a bit of a hectic few weeks and it certainly doesn’t seem to be letting us anytime soon… the one thing that I’ve been able to do consistently is knit on my bus commute to work. It’s particularly good as my flying elbows discourages people from sitting next to me – brill!
The perfect project for my bus rides to and from work are the lovely little hexipuffs to make a beekeeper’s quilt. I’ve started to keep them in a jar and the colours make me smile when I catch sight of it in the morning.
So, what have I been up to? I’ve been doing quite a lot of work for my music editorial course – editing orchestral parts is fun but hard! And last weekend I went to the inaugural Yarnporium at King’s College London organised by the Yarn in the City gals. I had a brilliant time and won a ticket courtesy of the lovely Jo of the Shinybees Podcast.
Sadly I haven’t been to any yarny festivals in quite some time and so may have gone a little overboard… My first stop was Gem at The Little Grey Girl to get some project bags – one for me and one as a present for my friend Kate:
MINE!
Kate’s
I met the lovely Rachel from Coopknits and got her new book – Socks Yeah!
The next stop was a gorgeous skein necklace from Maxsworld:
I got a couple of skeins of yarn from Travelknitter and Ginger Twist Studios:
I had a lovely time and met a few people, even saw someone that I used to know at University who lived in my halls! In all, a brilliant day out in London. I then went on to John Lewis to look at coffee machines and got completely overwhelmed – so many makes and models and decisions.
