November Craft Club

[Biddlybee]

My new housemate works at Sainsbury's HQ and has asked me to come and teach them to knit so they can do this:

So at the end of this month, if you see some v. dodgy looking hats on top of Innocent smoothies in the shops - that'll be down to me...

I've got a little kit they sent me, with needles and everything, will bring it along

 

[gaijingirl]

What time are we starting Sunday? I can't come till about 3pm I'm afraid.

 

[han]

can't make this, am with my ma and da this weekend....

Have a good un folx

 

[Choc]

in for knitting but out for mincemeat as well please.

also because i can only come around 4pm or so.

when are we starting officially?

 

[spanglechick]

So I don't need to bring needles and book for you then.

oh no! - umm... maybe i could pop round for ten minutes and say "hi" - i really wanted to meet you!

 

[Ms T]

Let's start at 3pm then folks. So is it only me, eme, gg, BB, Ruby and possibly PieEye for the mincemeat then?

Toggle - do you have any idea how much your recipe makes? Do we need to double it, triple it, quadruple it????

 

[Choc]

i can't find the original knitting thread

anyway: i have just finished my hat and another scarf for my father.


it is good for me we are meeting sunday as i have a q for my new project.

 

[Pieface]

should be fine for 3pm

 

[Biddlybee]

3pm is good for me.

Also, just to let you know i-Knit is now open from 1pm during the week

 

[RubyToogood]

Eme, if you've had your Rowan magazine, can you bring it along for me to drool over? Thanks.

Also anyone with any good toddler patterns, I'd be grateful of a look, need to knit something for my nephew (approaching 2) for Xmas.

Itgs been a year or so since i made it, but as far as I can recall,double the quantity will fill 10 inch diameter pyrex bowl. which will do about 6-8 of the size jar honey comes in,which should be about right for everyone on your list there to have a pot to take home.

i'll aim for about 3ish as well.

 

[Ms T]

Does anyone have any veggie suet they can bring? I meant to go to Brixton Wholefoods today, but didn't get round to it in the end....

 

[gaijingirl]

I don't I'm afraid. I do have upwards of 50 empty jars which I'm very keen to get rid of... but doesn't really look like we'll need that many!

Grating or ricing very cold butter right at the end of the mixing works, I've done it before when I had no suet veggie or otherwise.
btw, I will be making a brief appearance but a bit later than I originally thought.....

Ms T here...

Do bring some of them though...

 

[Biddlybee]

I'm popping to Sainsbury's in a bit - should I get some suet? How much?

 

[toggle]

1 pack s more than enough.

 

[toggle]

leaving soon. circle line is out, so it's going to take me ages to get there.

 

[Biddlybee]

I've got the suet and I've dosed up on antihistamines so will be round in a bit.

 

[gaijingirl]

Just back from London Fields... picking up jars and will head over.

 

[Choc]

this afternoon was soooo nice!

 

[gaijingirl]

It really was lovely. I always enjoy craft club so much. And I'm so pleased to finally have gotten my damn hat sorted out!

 

[arronsmith]

How was it then?

 

[RubyToogood]

It was great! We got loads done too. And it was such a nice night I walked nearly all the way home.

 

[gaijingirl]

Yes and thanks Ruby for putting up with my frequent howls and cries for help.

 

[eme]

thanks for having us Ms T!
A super nice way to spend an afternooon ...

 

[Biddlybee]

Yes, thanks Ms T - perfect host as always Was a lovely afternoon and looking forward to making some mince pies in a couple of weeks.

 

[Pieface]

Tried to squeeze too much into this weekend really and shouldn't have done PRoD, got up at 6:30am on sunday and then expect to be fantastic company by the afternoon.

We made you a jar of mincemeat anyway - eme's got it.
