more us/them nonsense


wow - the hooker vs knitters thing seems to be hotting up.
i'm still going along to the hunterian tonight, even though crochet still seems to be the red-headed stepchild of crafting in london. but we know that that the gingers really rule, there's nothing like the glow of orange pubes and freckles on the chest to get the juices flowing!

and the more the london stitch girls proclaim themselves a 'knitting community', the more i really want to do more to organise the hookers in london - our numbers are swelling, and thanks to the make lounge, new enthusiasts are made monthly. big props to them and their attitude...

because lately mine isn't that great lately - what is it with me that i even care bout this?
maybe i should get the Crochet Liberation Front logo tattooed on me...

hunters gatherers




so tomoro night is the museums at night night around europe, and even though i really really wanted to go to the sir john soames candlelight tour, i realised they do it every month - so will put that off for another time and go along to some organised night at the hunterian instead that i'm now referring to as 'stitched up' because that is how they have it...

...and i'm really surprised as the site is crochet-inclusive and says to bring your hooks - yet when the 'stitchettes' had a shout out for teachers i was told that they only needed knitters. the night sounds good and my mister will probably tag along for the overall exhibit. it sounds great with a chance to 'learn the secrets of the operating theatre as surgeons lend you a helping hand with some basic surgical skills.'

fine. i'll go along, and i'll smile, and i'll hold my hook high, but really it is just another time that crochet is just too fucking good for the rest of them and they are lucky if hookers even bother to show up....which made me think...if i was to organise my ultimate hooker night in london, where would it be?

i think at the enchanted palace at kensington palace before it is all done up.

where would you choose???
