It would seem that there is truly something for everyone in this massive city. This morning I puddled along to ‘I Knit day‘ at the Royal Horticultural Halls just off Vincent square SW1. I do think you need to give these things a shot, who knows maybe there was a knitter hidden within me waiting to be released or better yet a very cool job. Although this was clearly unlikely given my inept attempts at textiles all those years ago at school. But hey always good to be optimistic!
My goodness what a funny gathering of women. Most of whom appeared to be Bridget Jones crossed with
your local librarian types and clearly very earnest about their yarns.
So together we witnessed the creation of the worlds largest blanket using the worlds largest knitting needles – now there was a work out – a great big knitted dresser and a side table with wooly cups of tea & fuzzy chocolate eclairs. There was also a women scheduled to speak named the Yarn Harlot who apparently has the hotest knitting blog ever. hmmm. My desire to wait another hour or more was not quite there, despite the prickling of curiosity that her name creates.
It was an intriguing thing to see in London and did reinforce that really there is something for everyone in this city. Just it seems knitting is not for me.
