The wrap and hat took 19 balls of Elsebeth Lavold's Chunky Al.

I may knit another one for me but anyone else who wants one will have to make their own! We were discussing how it would work in Debbie Bliss Aplaca Silkand asI happen to have some in stash I'm very tempted.

The pattern is in the Winter Vogue and there were no copies left in Borders in London last week.

AK - refers to the Ample Knitters group - the most fantastic group of people who I have learnt much from over the years.

There are 3 shows coming up this month where I will be attending with Knit and Natter. The first is Glasgow on Thursday where I'm really looking forward to meeting up with Juliet, Johanna and others. I'm hoping to arrive early enough on wednesday to try to find K1 - a lys I've heard good things about. I think they have their knitting group that nihght as well.

The next is at Olympia 23-26 March where I'm hoping to meet up with a few blog pals, two of whom both have books recently / about to be published and then the NEC 30 March - 2 April where I can get to look at the entrants for this years BHKC competition.

Anyone interested in volunteering please click the link on the www.ukhandknitting.com website. There are sometimes mis-communications as so many people and agencies are involved in setting it up - if in doubt contact me at the email address on this blog.

The materials we use are provided by the BHKC and the volunteers provide their skills and energy. It has been a great way to meet other knitters and to share my love of this activity.
