This week I has mostly been knitting woolly hats. Well, one woolly hat, which looks quite nice but doesn’t entirely fit my actual head. Anyway it was a prototype – an exercise in establishing I have some capacity to knit a hat like object with strange circular knitting needles. And it appears I do. This means I am ready to move onto phase two of operation Knit-a-6-year-old-a-hat-with-creepers-on-it (its a Minecraft thing, google it or ask any child aged between 4 and 10 years old or any parent or teacher of a child between ages 4 and 10 years old).
The point being that I have not done much blogging this weekend as a result. Because it seems that a knitting technique that doesn’t involve any chance to say “I’ll stop at the end of this row” (because on circular needles you just keep going round and round and round and…) is quite literally un-put-down-able.
And last week was a poor show too as far as Pink Tape is concerned – but in my defence I have been focusing on Transparency Project stuff (see here), and other local justice stuff. And you know, actual paid work.
I will have my Pink Tape hat back on soon – promise.
As you are into knitting and a bit of IT and If you need something to listen to whilst knitting, have a listed to the Women’s Hour podcast on Knitting and coding, plus if you are a slow knitter, they also covered forced marriage and the Forced Marriage Unit in another topic.
