The prosecco was flowing and the pimms was circulating...
...and the cake! Oh so much cake...
Look at those adorable button cakes made by Jen!
And beautiful freshly cut flowers by Simone... (from her garden. She didn't just steal them. Well, I don't think so anyway...)
...and we even managed to do some knitting!
At times it even looked like those who were knitting and crocheting were taking it quite seriously...
We even had people learning to knit and crochet...
And despite the fact that the weather was simply gross (you know that awful fine drizzle that makes you wetter than if you had been out in a torrential downpour? Well that, but with a sideways wind...) we even managed some yarnboming...
It was really cold... but we soldiered on, for all of about half an hour...
And the knit-a-longs and crochet-a-longs were really popular. We were continuing with our making of hats and blankets for local hospitals for the NICU wards, as well as starting on making Twiddlemuffs - a really great idea, where you make a sleeve to fit over the patients arm. They are designed for patients with Dementia, as it stops them fiddling with their canulas - and instead they fiddle with whatever you have attached to the Twiddlemuff.
We used the following pattern, but there are now loads out there if you have a google:
and I found this crochet pattern here:
They grow really quickly!
And then, well... it just started to go downhill really...
Mass hysteria set in! I blame Simone and Bev personally. Pauline tried to take control, and Angela just abandoned us. But the more we tried to stop laughing, the worse it got. And then I got stuck in that gap. Brilliant. It took 3 ladies to haul me out...
Bring on next years' Worldwide Knit in Public Day I say!
