I am here for Friends

About Me

I'm a film studies graduate from Kent Uni and am now a Project Manager in a market research fieldwork company. There I have fun with nice people, which is nice.

I live with my boyfriend Brett in deepest East London. He is my favourite and is my Donkey.

As the co-founder of a London knitting group I love all things woolly and clicky. If you like to knit, or would like to learn, then join our group Stitch and Bitch UK at http://groups.myspace.com/stitchandbitchUK .

We can teach anyone who is willing, so come along and have a go if you're interested. And MEN please remember - knitting is not only for girls!

Aspirations for my future are to get a melvin (see below) and to live in a castle in the sky, where we can hold many stitch and bitch knitting sessions (with tea and cake).

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Knitters of the world and Melvins

Here it is - the finished article! I spend the whole of today in my mums kitchen, with the two of us carefully sewing the separate pieces together for hours. I'm so glad that it's finished. It's been ...

Crisis over

I have ordered the sweet sweet yarn (and amazingly in the same dyelot) and it is winging it's way to me as I type! Heaven above - you took pity on me! I thank you.

knit, knit as fast as you can!

Just a quick blog to say the second sleeve is done and I'm working on the neck band and side tie thing. This is totally boring as it's 1x1 rib and really getting on my nerves, but good news is only 4 ...

Hello all, It's been ages since I last did a proper blog and I even got halfway through one the other day but deleted it by accident causing me to fly into a furious rage and shut down the comput...

It's always the same with any of my projects. I start of with enthusiastic verve for the piece I'm knitting and beaver away at it for a good few days in a row - convinced that I will finish it in no t...

Prolific weekend

This weekend was a good one for knitting. I spend almost all of the BBQ I went to on Saturday clicking away and really ploughing though the first sleeve of my cardi. I did approximately up to my elbow...

Body finished!

So I wizzed through the left side of the cardi and have now 3 complete body pieces: Hoorah! Now it's on to sleeves. Scary. We will be knitting in St James' park on Tuesday (S&B UK that is) so I w...

Cardi progess

I really want to do a proper blog but don't know if I have the right stuff to do it. I'll probably forget or do about a million blogs one week and then never again. But I guess a lot of people do that...
