More knitting groups

Ok, so I'm a bad bad blogger........ been silent for a few weeks.

However, have been busy on the knitting front: Marlow (as someone called it, a vision in purple) is coming along nicely. The majority of both the back and front is done, and I am currently nearing the top of one sleeve (which I must have undone and restarted a hundred times).

More interestingly, I have been very sociable both on and off the knitting scene. I have been to
Angelknits a couple of times - a very nice, friendly (and expert!) bunch in a cool pub - and I have tried - albeit failed - to go to a couple of other groups.

This week I tried to go to the
iknitlondon meet in Soho. The bar was very crowded, although I could see some knitters already there. Being a bit shy, I waited outside for Nikki, who had said she might be coming too. As I was waiting, a couple of girls came out, "I know they're very trendy with their knitting, but do they have to do it at the bar?" A few minutes later, a couple came out saying, "how cool, sitting there knitting!"

Two out of three brake lights on my car are not working (as pointed out by a police office and a white van man on separate occasions), so can't travel until that's sorted, but I am still hoping to visit as many groups in London as possible, even if only for the one time - trying to show support in my small fashion.
