Met up with Marja, Kate, Kate and Yuvee at Starbucks in the morning for some knitting. We sat there, four of five of us knitting on the same thing – the most recent Knit Love Club sock.  I think young (okay okay, youngish. or at least not OAP) people knitting is still a curiosity.  Our group ranged fro 22 to 38 years old.  We had a lady of about 60 approach us, absolutely thrilled that we were knitting, and a 40ish chap stand in the corner watching us suspiciously for a little while.  He seemed utterly enthralled and confused as to what we were doing!  We moved on to Chamomile (I think that’s the spelling) in Kingly Court – it’s the cutest little tea shop that does lunch and afternoon tea.  I had a rosebud tea, and Nora had a Turkish apple tea that reminded me of my girl’s week at Turunc bay.  Caught with with Arianne, Ali, and Tricia!  A really nice morning, and a visit to Buzz at All the Fun of the Fair.

Found out today that I got into the Loopy Ewe club – very exciting as I’ve never been in her club before and have always admired her work – Sheri’s business inspired me to start Socktopus – and her customer service is really second to none.
