We had a lovely meeting a few days ago:

WWKiP

WWKiP or World Wide Knit in Public takes place every year in June and I try to attend at least one of the events. I also harass everybody about attending on Ravelry.

So despite not really knitting lately, I joined two friends on the train to Ghent yesterday, where we met up with the local groups and some of our Ostend friends arrived at the venue (Stoffenidee, Burgstraat 38a) eventually.

The lovely Yarnlot took a lot of pictures, which she published on KnitFlanders:

Thank you for the hospitality and see you next year!

Cookie's Koala

My friend Cookie adores these critters, so I decided to crochet one for her birthday.

This ami is also featured on Helen's latest blog update for May:

As the birthday celebrations were long and intense, I didn't dare pick up my felting needles this weekend.
But tomorrow is another national holiday and that means - happy stabbins ahead!

Bruges SnB - Blog Update

How she manages to take such brilliant pictures with, as she calls it, "just the small camera" is beyond me.
Thanks for helping me select colours for a future project, everybody!

But now it's time to finish those front panels on my Stranger Cardigan...

And for those who are interested in charity knitting / crocheting or want to donate some yarn for several good causes, I'm providing the link to De Breimadammen. They managed to hand out 30 of their little flyers to visitors of Tapisplage, and I hope that at least 5 of them will start knitting or contact them for a yarn-transport. Fingers crossed!

Mystery Revealed

Our knitting group in Ostend has been attending events for four years now, and the one thing that was missing was - a flag!
So I went to my local fabric store, got some supplies, sat down for a couple of evenings and made one.

Today I took it to the event "Tapisplage", a yearly market place for (mostly) internet-shops, catering to young hip families. We're invited each year and have become somewhat part of the decor.

But who knows, maybe someone who talked to us today might pick up their needles and start enjoying our hobby.

Bruges SnB

Our stitch n bitch saw the lights of Bruges for the first time in December 2007. A couple of weeks before that, two knitting souls had found each other and decided to start knitting in public.
We've been dilligently posting blog updates ever since, much depending on Ameria's lovely photography.
