Back on stitching on grandad not felt like stitching in months now in the mood for it yesterday and was chuffed with what I done!! Went butlins last week had a fab time catching up with friends at gala dinner made even better we could choose our table this year we were first in kids made a beeline for centre table on upper level lol. Think management amazed as we didn't go to front
We had some fun people on our table it made our night they were a hoot!! Keith table host got us all drunk lol. I really felt it Thursday as I don't do wine!! Well it was free lol I remember counting three glasses gave up!!
We found another knitting shop as other one closed I'm amazed we've never seen it before pandora behind coop carpark in minehead does fabric and threads also. I got a few balls of king cole n started a poncho Thursday
I had a lovely cuddle with redcoat paul no longer a redcoat but well redcoat paul he always be lol. He saw us tues in skyline n came over n chatted with us for ages. If your ever at butlins n see the rag dolls in concert there go they are fab!! We had them at gala dinner Wednesday and they were brilliant
On my poncho I'm knitting I've doubled up the wool as too thin will use three balls all together I got a knit winder so wound up two balls to 50g easier to knit with.
I swapped numbers this year with friends at butlins as not going gala next year give it a miss
