World Wide Knit In Public Day 2009

Ah, this day comes again, and again, we knit.

I'm pleased to say that I was joined by three other intrepid knitters to brave the cold outdoors at a local cafe today. Sadly, no other people from our group were able to make it - maybe more next year!

Somewhat annoyingly, anyone we tried to offer a coffee-cup-cozy to looked at us like we were trying to offer them illicit drugs, and everyone else just looked frightened. *Sigh* We really must have a long way to go to convert the muggles. We raised like, thirty dollars for Youth Off The Streets, so well - I suppose it's thirty dollars that they didn't have this morning!

In other news, WonderBoy and I looked out the window this evening and noticed that it was really, really orange. WonderBoy was quite excited about the whole thing, so we went out onto the driveway to take some video and photos:

I want yarn these colours. I don't know what I'd knit with it, but I want it:
WonderBoy got right into it. It was all well cool.
You should see what we're getting up to tomorrow - it's going to be so exciting!

Another kindred spirit

"People stared more than ever on the train. Hagrid took up two seats and sat knitting something that looked like a canary-yellow circus tent. 'Still got yer letter, Harry?' he asked as he counted stitches."

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone

Another knitter from the great story.

As I waited for Pete to pick me up from school, I took a couple of photos of the sky as it was getting dark this evening. Enjoy... for I'm going to get started winding my newest handspun into balls...

Brrrr! A quick post

First day of Term Two.

Windy like you wouldn't believe.

Cold as buggery!

Here is the sky, taken at Preschool. Not very indicative of the day, as the clouds were skidding across the sky so quickly, and the mood of the sky changes so often that you just don't see the rainstorm coming until you're drenched...
