Summer without a picnic is...not a summer!

Knitting

on the Heath

is a fine thing.


I Just Love This Place! Look at the gorgeous Garden House! All those flowers bring to mind Kaffee Fassett's knits ;) I shall report on the progress on my Fassett cardi soon.


I like to combine my favourite pursuits to enhance the amount of pleasure I get from them.



And therefore I propose a picnic on the Heath with an open invitation to all knitters who can be tempted.

When:
Sunday the 26th of August, kick off time - 2pm, wind down at 7pm.
Sunday the 16th of September, kick off time - 2pm, wind down at 6pm.


Where: We meet on Hampstead Heath (Kenwood House bit) by the lake (weather permitting).

What to bring: needles and your favourite/current/easiest to follow project, a blanket, a knitting friend or two, a few knitting-friendly munchies (you know, nothing that would threaten our fine knits), change - so that we can treat ourselves to delicious ice creams and coffee, and OF COURSE our families (were applicable). Maybe we could set up a picnic for blokes/kids near by so that they can enjoy a fantastic day out, but do not risk being stabbed by a stray needle :) We will thankfully accept offers of foot rubs and quiet admiration (perfect for those moments when one needs to re-count the stitches). Let me know your thoughts re: this particular issue of non-knitting partners and tiddlers, so that we have a plan that really works. Frisbees, balls and such should help to keep them entertained.

If you have a willing friend, who would like to learn to knit bring them along! With so many knitters around they won't be able to help it but pick up the whole knit & purl thing and join in the fun.

PS: An afterthought.-) we might well be able to tempt our lovely partners and older kids to join in the knitting thing. I'd give a lot to see/have a photo of Nick knitting!

SPREAD THE WORD!!!
