Crochet…


Crochet...

Yesterday was Stitch & Bitch day which as usual involves cake, glasses of Diet Coke and knitting. However, Sue one of the regulars (and who is an absolute knitting ninja) offered to teach anyone who wanted to learn to crochet and it must be said that I've completely shocked myself at to how quickly I've picked it up. I was up and running in 5 minutes. Pardon the pun but I think I'm hooked. I had tried to learn once in the past by reading books and watching videos on You Tube whenever I got confused but I gave up in the end. I love the Stitch & Bitch.

Hookers & Needles…

Last week I finally got my finger out and applied for an invite for Ravelry, which arrived yesterday and so far I'm loving it.  I'm hoping it'll help inspire me enough to get the yarn and needles out again, which looking through the free pattens I doubt it'll fail.  Hopefully it will give me the kick up the backside I need to finally organise the Stitch & Bitch I've wanted to establish for a while as well.  I've also celebrated my 30th birthday and have had an amazing time.  Lots of excellent presents received and lots of alcohol consumed.

Today is going to be spent doing some odd jobs and I am planning on doing some baking this afternoon.  I did some on-line shopping recently with ASDA and I must have done something wrong as I ended up with far too many bananas as I have a ton of them which are slowly going black so I think some Banana Bread, Banana Muffins and some Banana Biscuits are in order.  Today is going to be a good day.
