#henparty

so my london geeky girls are kidnapping me this weekend for a bit of a post-wedding paarty - so watch out margate! and this time not just because of the yarn bombs i will be leavin' behind, but you will have an extra 15 uber-smart ladies drunk on champagne and cake and tea wondering your seaside attractions this weekend.

i am so touched - really touched - that the girls have gone to such trouble for me. it's amazing. still, it's also really hard to get myself together and let go this morning. my daughter is back in the fucking tabloid papers through no fault of her own! and also maybe also because i'm just a bit embarrassed that my latest crochet project isn't high-brow enough for the ladies...

...a neck warmer of bright purple acrylic.

you see, as well as being my geek sisters, we also have our own stitchup group called stitch and fish as a spin-off of our digi industry mailing list:

haddock

. this mailing list is awesom - it's basically ravelry for a group of 69 or so friends to talk and share everything all day everyday for the last 15 years. whoever thought a list created to book baby foot games with wired magazine journos would spawn such amazing friendships.

this weekend - i feel very very lucky indeed.

ch ch ch changes...

change of plans...maybe.

an old punker friend from the 80s is now coming to stay with me this week from thursday night rather than just coming for a pirate party on halloween. so if i can't take her with me to the vodka client party, then we may be dropping by knit night later on!

either way i'll still try to make wednesday just in case stash is going as now i'm seeing her every week i'll miss her if i don't!

another thursday

at knitclub and still loving it!

next week i have to go to a party for our vodka client so i'll probably try to go on wednesday instead after my hospital appointment. will be interesting to see what crowd it is and what they are all making...

this week was more squares for my skull and crossbones afghan.
rafrasilecs bought me some more yarn so i've added in some lilac to the patchwork mix.

photos coming soon i promise x

weekly update...

another week, another knitclub.
even though i've only been to iknit twice, i have really dug in and it feels like home.
i love it there! and last thursday, the fiance rafrasilecs even came along to chill out, drink cider, and crochet...it was one of the best evenings we have had out together with friends in ages!

well except maybe the wedding party we went to last night!
it was a lovely haunted house/alice in wonderland theme
(her name is alice and it is almost halloween...)

i wanted to look my best so went to aveda and had my hair re-browned and it is the most luscious dark chocolate colour ever...and i wore THE highest hi hi heeled shoes - sexy black patent leather with an ankle strap and slight stripper feel...yum...with tight pencil skirt and tubey type top with built in bra (luckily, but only an H cup so alot of benny hill style spillage...oooo err....) and my luscious fur trimmed porn coat by satya james

and luckily my botox has settled in so my lovely arched drag queen eyebrows are back!!!

o and i really really hope that the love the skeleton bride and groom and cthulu amigurumi that made for them out of the creepy cute crochet book...
