The Mad Month of May

What a busy month May was.....

Knitting In Public in Gent

The month started with a little KIP. Sandra invited us to join her on the Graslei in Gent to celebrate May Day.


KIP on the Graslei
The weather was glorious, the place was buzzing and the company was most enjoyable. Lots of fun and lots of knitting was had by all.

We had a fantastic time and made lots of new friends - Thank you Sandra for such a wonderful idea!

T(h)ree Sisters

The artist Xavier Tricot invited us to work with him to create his artwork 'T(h)ree Sisters' for the summer exhibition at Het Wit Huis, Spermalie. We were absolutely delighted to be given the opportunity to make these wonderful 'Tree Jumpers'.

Donations of yarn have been pouring in and if you want to see what happened to our 'Wool Mountain', be sure to read our next posting!

Our Knitting Projects

Despite most of us being busy on 'T(h)ree Sisters', lots of progress has been made on our own individual knitting projects.

Helen is busy with the A-Line Ribbed Jacket from Cathay by Debbie Bliss in Cathay shade 06, a most wonderful green.

'Birthday Girl' Sandra came to one of our gatherings and finished this fantastic sweater for her son. Honestly!
