Knit & Natter/Stitch & Bitch!

Post by Evil Edna » Mon Jun 04, 2012 11:48 am

Come on Ladies (or Gents :shock: ) 2.30 till 4.30 Friday in the large Marque I'm trying to organize a knitting, sewing or anything crafty in fact so some of us can get together and enjoy a 'chinwag'. I think climbingnut's OH will be there. Plus Northern Bongolow informs me that Chell may provide entertainment! (Remembering it is before the 9pm watershed! :lol: ). So don't let me feel lonely - come along. I knit, crochet & do counted cross stitch - if anyone wants to have a go let me know - I have masses of wool hooks & needles! :oops:

Very James Bond.

You can unravel it to make an emergency lifeline, climbing rope or tow rope.

The Custody sergeant might also not notice it.

Maybe we can drum up more interest when we are actually there, knitting has been a dying art in past few years but it is becoming fashionable again, so need to promote that, if we can get young people joining in. If not we can have a nice afternoon the 3 or 4 of us :D :D :D
