A very knitterly weekend

On Friday night / Saturday morning I set my alarm for 1.55am, got up, purchased a Fringe Town Bag in the Cocoa colour and was back on bed by 2.05. I’m very excited for it to arrive. The on Saturday night was the Annual Richmond Knitters Christmas party. This is always a fun event, and it’s nice to get dressed up and spend some time with my knitters on a Saturday night, instead of my more usual Monday night post work mood. I made table decorations, and was really thrilled with the way they came out.

 As is turning into a tradition, Dani from HalfBakedHandDyed made us a Richmond Knitter’s Christmas colourway. Look how pretty it is. 

 On Sunday I went with some friends to Smith and Daughters, a vegan restaurant Northside, that I’ve been wanting to go to for ages, and then rolled even further north to celebrate Katie’s birthday. And all the time I was knit, knit, knitting away. I’ve got 8 more rounds to go on the front ribbing of Conic. Each row is 500+ stitches, but they are knitting up surprisingly quickly. I’m still rather worried about the sizing of the thing, but we shall see in a couple of days once it has been washed and blocked. It was the perfect knitting project to be working on through all the busy weekend, endless ribbing in the round.
