WWKIP Day 2009

Well what a day - I had massive plans, but they all got thrown out when Tim had to work and this sleep deprived Mum descided that she was not going to go out for the morning with two toddlers that would fight for attention.

I did however meet up with the Knitting and Knotting (our local SnB) for a regressive dinner.

It was only while we were sitting down last night that it clicked that we were indeed eating from different places around the world - wonder if that was the plan and I missed it.

Anyway. We started off at Gelatissimo and enjoyed a coffee.

We then moved onto the Indian Restaurant for mains - the rude owner said "What are you doing knitting for - that is for at home!' I knew there was a reason why I no longer support her with my business after being turned away over a year ago because were were indeed 'pram people' (although her meals are always nice)

We then went for a cool walk up to have Japanese (although some how wires were crossed and we did not end up having a booking - which was fine because I dont think that I could have actually fit one more grain of rice into me) I also learnt that crows gard some of the street signs in town - I have never noticed these little metal creatures on top of every fourth pole LOL.

So, we went back for another coffee and dessert to Gelatissimo and finished up the night at 11pm.

Kelly finished off a vest for Jayden and then started a pair of toe up socks (with Bec's help) Bec, knitted/frogged/knitted/frogged and then cast on a pair of toe up socks. Kerrie worked on a pair of longies, Isobel knitted a sock. Kate fought with the picot edge of a sock (this sock has been a WIP for three years) and Elisabeth worked on the second glove to keep her chilli hands warm while walking to Uni.

And I cast on and knitted a whole two rows of a new born sized beanie - I was obviously enjoying the company - oh and flicking through the new Yarn and Knit1 Magazines.

I then came home and knitted on the couch with Tim while he watched the end of The Rock on TV - and I actually got more knitted in the hour on the couch then during the night.

I am enjoying looking around blogland and seeing what the all the other knitters got up to on WWKIP Day 2009
