WOYWW knitting, UFOs and ladies do lunch

Following on from last week, I sorted through the layers, (after a fashion), finished the beanie, and unearthed some knitting UFOs. Nothing unusual about finding UFOs here, I probably saw something shiny and got distracted.


Happy with the beanie. It fits really well and it only took about a week to make. With some minor tweaking, I will certainly use the pattern again. (It's 5ply, BTW, if you are interested.)
That little purple punch I found (at the shops), is exactly the same as one I mentioned ages ago which required a special punch handle to use it with and the handle broke, so all the punches that went with it were useless :(  Anyway, the snowflake one was my favourite, so I snapped this new one up :)

But wait, there's more ...


Now, does two Woywwers having lunch constitute an official Woyww Function?
In a country where the next closest Woywwer is hundreds of miles away,
 Sandra and I think it does.

For all the essential Woyww details, please visit Julia  who is actually on holidays,
 but still steering the good ship "WOYWW".

    The beanie is gorgeous - I love both the pattern and the colours - the black really pops against that background. Thanks so much for stopping by my desk earlier, I hope you have a great week,

    Love that beanie! Such a happy bright color--bonus is if you get lost in a snowdrift they can find you, or at least your beanie. I think that was indeed an official WOYWW gathering! Judy #50

    Definitely a WOYWW function. What a pity we couldn't all join you. I wouldn't mind a trip down under and the tea looks perfect!!!!! Glad you both had a lovely day.
    Love your Beanie, the colour is great,
    Hugs Lisax #23

    Too true, two WOYWWers make a Crop!! Hope you had cake and did lots of lovely crafty things :-). That beanie is fab...thank you for the link to the casting on method. Very interesting but I don't know if I'd do it. I detest the ribbing part of knitting,so anything that prolongs the agony is not good for me!!

    Rosa, Love the knitting.

    Glad you and your fellow desker Sandra are close enough to meet up. I'm sure the WOYWW badge makes it official:)

    Thanks for stopping by my blog.

    Happy WOYWW

    Your knitting is far from brainless, Rosa! I love the beanie. Such pretty colours! Thank you for your loely comment - I am feeling a lot better today although still very short on energy. Only a week to go to my next treatment so I hope I get the chance to do a few things this week.

    Happy belated WOYWW,

    That is a lovely piece of Fair Isle knitting - though in very modern colours! I like your hat very much, Ros.
    And how lovely that you and Sandra were able to meet up and have lunch together. All the nicer, since you live so far apart. I should appreciate my privileges, in living not-so-far from several WOYWW people.
    Thanks for your visit to my blog and for the nice comment on my books. I'm enjoying these ones very much.
    Have a good weekend!
