Knitting in Egypt
Hi all,
I have just come back from a lovely sunny holiday in Egypt. As promised to Pete before I left, I took my knitting along.
This pic was taken in front of the amazing Abu Simbel temple. We had a 3.30am departure in order to travel the 290km out to the temple, so trying very hard to look awake!
There are many exciting p/hop activities underway at the moment. The knitting festivals are quickly approaching and the list is growing -
I will be at UK Ravelry Day in a few weeks time, along with Ann (colleague and knitter) and Mike (returned field volunteer). If you are attending please drop by, pick up a free pattern and find out more about MSF’s work in the field. It will be great to finally meet some p/hoppers!
John and Juliet from Fibrefest have kindly offered to let us host the Multicoloured Fibre Swap Shop and Knitting Emporium. So bring along your unwanted textile related items (yarn, craft equipment, books etc) and swap it for someone elses goodie. The Knitting Emporium is going to be an area to sit, relax, knit, share ideas and try some free patterns.
If you have any ideas for these festivals or general p/hop activities, I would love to hear from you. Cybil on Ravelry has come up with a fantastic idea of doing an Afghan for p/hop (pictured below). For more details click here.
Pete is rallying together troops on Ravelry to enter the One & Other draw, to knit on the fourth empty plinth in Trafalgar Square for an hour. To sign up click here.
Hilltopkatie has designed a wonderful sock pattern which will be up on the blog shortly.
Happy knitting!
