#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.

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...
