Cupcakes...

I will be flogging more cakes at work tomorrow to raise funds for our calendar. Made £12 last week, lets see how we get on this week...www.theknittingnoras.co.uk

Ravelry Day 2009

Oooh we had lots of fun, despite the rain, at Ravelry Day on Saturday.
Bought some yarn, some buttons and we networked - spreading the word about the calendar. Here are a few pictures...

Smithills Hall

Today we went along to Smithills Hall in Bolton to take part in a crafting afternoon. It was a lovely day and though not a huge number of people passed through, it was nice to have a knit with some Noras and display our wares.

We told people about the Naked Calendar and showed them our new article in the magazine Knit Today.

My travelling sock monky Niji Saru met a spinner too, the lovely Donna.

Anniversary

Sal and I have been wed 4 years today, and I am making a lovely (hopefully) dinner tonight.
After much trauma with my egg whites last night (and help from Sal - dessert surprise now spoilt!) we managed to make Lemon Mousse. Yum yum x

Bearded Theory 2009

Mucho fun had at Bearded Theory, despite heavy rains and strong winds taking out the main stage. Eek!

I survived in my lovely pop up tent and everyone had a great time, here be pics...

Monkey Number 3...

Niji Saru has arrived as part of the travelling sock monkey project.
She'll be with me for 1 month and it is off to the Bearded Theory Festival next weekend.

Holiday '09

Hurrah, our 2009 summer holiday is booked and Sal, the boys and I are off to Normandy in France.

I have just started a lovely shawl to wear whilst I lounge in the garden there. It is from Rebecca magazine and involves following a chart which I haven't done before as I usually rely on written instructions.

I've had to re-do Row 1 already. Concentrate woman...


Update 30.4.09 - Gadzooks! Screwed up on Row 3 now and have frogged it completely. Start again...
